We're Having A Baby!!!

I know I'm blogged all day,
three posts.
Since I'll be sitting with my little lady tomorrow,
I can't wait to share our news!

Surprise Reveal


WE'RE HAVING A BABY!
The journey has been a long one.
This mama's heart has ached with pain so intense that 
I felt it would tear out of my chest.
It's what mamas do. 
We hope, we pray, we believe
and when God doesn't answer like we pray He will, 
we cry for the pain of our children.

But now we celebrate NEW LIFE!

I saw our little one today on sonogram.
She's beautiful or HE.
She's 11 weeks and our baby is moving it's little arms and legs
and all is well. 
You can read more about their journey here...

Our tears have turned to joy and we are thankful.

Troy and Christy share their news...

We’ve thought long and hard about how to announce that we are expecting, and our words have fallen short. We are thankful for the friendships, prayers, counsel, and support that have sustained us through these last few years of infertility. We are thankful that God is not good because we got good news; rather, He is good because of His love and grace in our lives, even when we couldn’t feel it. We are thankful for doctors who are skilled and research that has led to amazing p...rocedures like IVF which was the right step for our family. We are thankful that we have something to celebrate today when we have found it difficult to hope for a long time. We are thankful for the opportunity to breathe in the good news of today while breathing out the worries and fears that sometimes creep in. Yet, even when we forget to breathe, we are thankful that it’s ok to question sometimes too. We are thankful that we can open ourselves up to the joys of parenthood without forgetting our journey up to this point. We are thankful for many of you - thank you for walking this path with us.
