So here I am, 9 weeks and 4 days pregnant, and absolutely over the moon in love with our second baby already. I've been spending the last few weeks just a short gagging distance from the bathroom, but so thankful for such a tangible sign that this little baby is growing so well and so strong.
Life, of course, is so interesting, and the depths of emotions can be so overwhelming. To be so sad and heartbroken and at the very same time so completely content and happy. Danny and I talk often about both our babies; to think if Hannah didn't die, this second baby wouldn't be in this world. It is so bittersweet, and how desperately I wish I could have them both. I look forward to the day when we will all be reunited, it's just hard to wait sometimes.
So far, my pregnancy has been going really well. We were so blessed to have had an ultrasound 2 weeks ago and know for certain that little heart was just beating away. We were so excited yesterday when we were able to find the heartbeat for ourselves with a doppler I had bought when I was pregnant with Hannah. What an amazing sound, and such a wonderful reminder that this little one is really in there growing and living. The Lord is so faithful and always provides what we need just when we need it.
Jess,
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing this new little life is! Thank you for your kind words on my blog...I truly believe that sharing our children's stories, sharing our grief and connecting with others who understand at a depth that no one else can are all parts of the healing process. And, as you said, I believe that God causes our paths to cross for a reason. Praying that God continues to wrap you all in his arms...bringing comfort and peace...and that he keeps sweet Hannah and your new little one in His constant care. Love to you all...
Jess- I just read your post/question about To Write Their Names In The Sand. It was hard to get a request simply because the time zones are so different...I got mine in early one morning before work. CarlyMarie posts openings on her facebook page and I just kept checking back :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so fun because all the sunsets are so unique and beautiful!
Love to you and your new little joy!
