A Happy Announcement

a baby!


Many, many, many prayers later....
a miracle in progress!
What we have known for over a month
was confirmed today!
A beautiful, active baby...
a strong heartbeat!
After months of heartbreak
today was the happiest of tears!
As we held hands (and our breaths) as the screen clicked on
appeared a dancing little baby and a fluttering heartbeat!
A sight so wonderful, especially after experiencing the devastation of an empty screen before.
A doctor so caring and understanding and who personally knows of the same heartbreak...
announces, "you did it mama!" "Look at that extremely strong baby!"
Already measuring a week ahead of what it should be.....
no wonder mama is already growing so big!
With the worst of morning sickness hopefully behind,
we look forward to the first kicks, planning and picking of a name.
Big brother is ecstatic....I am glad he gets it!
To all those who have been praying, especially for today's good news....
you mean the world to us! Thank you for today's support and for helping me to keep our secret.
And now...I feel I can shout from the rooftop that our little love should be arriving in October!
(Dr. was hesitant to give me an exact due date just yet. Based on my LMP, I am due October 30th- but we already know I am a week ahead of that. She is going to keep a close eye on the size of this baby and will not have me deliver another 9 lbs. @ 36.5 weeks)
