Round 2...and trying not to get too excited


So the past few weeks have been torture not to talk to all of you. When we found out we were pregnant again I was so scared to evern talk to anyone in fear that it would slip out. When we lost the baby last time, it was horrible to have to find everyone to tell them we miscarried I didn't want to have to go through that again.


Well, yesterday I started bleeding and getting crampy and just felt in my gut I was going to loose this one too. We went to the doctor this morning and he told me that the blood was coming from outside of my cervix (I know you all want to know this- sorry) and that he thought everything was fine. Tonight we got our first ultrasound- and the baby had a heart beat!!! So the past 2 days I have learned-
1- I am terrible at secrets.
2- I know God wants us to share our burdens with eachother- no matter how heavy. and our joys- no matter how small.
3- I think it would have been more comforting to me today to know that I had people praying for me.


I'm sorry for not sharing sooner. Only my parents, siblings, and principals at school know and I'm doing my best to wait until my 1st trimester is over to tell any of the kids. I am officially 6 weeks and 3 days and my due date is November 21st (what a birthday present that would be!) I love you girls and I covet your prayers desperately. (especially this week- I'm incharge of the formal. Nothing like adding a little stress into the mix.)

Megan! I am soo happy for you and have connect group tonight and will be praying for you! I know God works in wonderfuly crazy ways...ways we don't always get and like...but I know that He wants the best for you and like you have always told me "God will not give you a desire that He will not fulfill!" I am praying and will pray every day until your due date and when that day comes Jen and I will be there in 2 mins...or maybe a few hours...but we will be there..
