great expectations

so i've decided to add a new element to my blog....the count down to baby on the right hand side. i tossed and turned about this, but in the end i want to document this pregnancy. i am not afraid to put it out there and at this point, the whole world knows i'm pregnant anyway. the looks and reactions that both stephan and i have gotten when we tell people we are pregnant again says so much about human emotion. obviously everyone knows what we went through this last year...losing ryan at 19 weeks. and recently, we have both been asked if we were going to get pregnant again. i honestly didn't know the answer to that until i thought i was pregnant and i realized how happy that would make me. then the moment i found out, i was beaming! i felt a happiness and a comfort that is hard to explain.
i feel good. physically. haven't been too sick (just slight queeziness at times). i am tired. oh so tired. but other than that - i feel great! and mentally/emotionally, i still feel an incredible sense of calm. i know it will be okay. i haven't worried about anything. i have my first doctors appointment today. all is right with the world.
and so i will boldly document all of it. no hesitations. just great expectations!

Have great faith... that is all you can do. The rest is up to Him, as you well know. We are ALL praying for you and that baby growing in you!

I think it's great you want to document it all...I think it might help others out there who may have gone through similar experiences, especially with the loss of a previos baby. Sending prayers and hugs your way :)

know that the best of thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. faith is the opposite of fear. the two cannot exist together. so as jandi fabulously said "have great faith". trust in the lord. and call if you need anything ;)

I'm sorry about losing your son. I lost twin boys in my 31st week over 10 years ago. If you ever want to talk,I am here.
