Going Public!
Bryan and I decided to go public with our news! We are pregnant and due February 14, 2011! We have had two ultrasounds and feel very confident that this is it! We are having a baby!!!
The road to having a baby has been tough to say the least which makes this pregnancy that much sweeter!!! Some of you might know and some of you might have guessed from previous posts that we have had two miscarriages. One last August and one in February. I had a few women with the similar stories come beside me and hold me up during that time which I am very thankful for. Bryan and I grew so much closer and learned to love each other deeper with each loss. When I look back on those days, they are so bittersweet- holding each other and crying ourselves to sleep. I am sharing my story because I believe that God lets you walk through trials to grow and to minister to others. At the time I was embarrassed but there are so many women that go through pregnancy loss that I have learned the more I talk about it, the more healing takes place. This baby that I am carrying will be so loved and appreciated! We would both appreciate prayers for a healthy full-term baby!
I had my first ultrasound at 6 weeks and the doctor put me on some extra hormones because of my history. My 2nd ultrasound was on Friday, which Bryan missed because he is in the hospital. My mom and sister took me and all three of us cried when we saw the heartbeat. What a beautiful picture! I brought the pictures to the hospital and Bryan taped them in front of his bed. Proud future Daddy :)

this is amazing! i'll be praying for a healthy baby this time around and for bryan to get better quickly. also, some encouragement for you.. one of the women i am close to in my church has had something like six miscarriages but now she has two healthy kids and one adopted little girl :)
I understand the feeling. While I never miscarried, we had a really difficult time getting pregnant this time around and had to turn to fertility. My risk for miscarriage was very high because of the meds I was on, so I burst into tears when I saw that heartbeat! We're due at Thanksgiving, which is pretty much awesome considering the circumstances!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! I'm so SO happy for you! Having babies sure can be a trial, huh? I'm sorry to hear about your miscarriages - I can't imagine. We had a hard time getting pregnant too and had to take medications, but I am thankful that we didn't lose any babies. Your faith and perseverance through your trials is an inspiration and I'm sure your experience will be an encouragement to many women. But with all that said...how flipping EXCITING!! Yahoo!!!! Take lots of belly progress pictures - I wanna see!
