Moving On

After a loss, its hard to convince yourself that things are going to be just fine. No matter how much you hear it, its not that easy to just "give it all to God". You fall in love, get married, get pregnant, and just expect that everything will go just as its supposed to and then you get blindsided with news that "You are going to miscarry. Your baby is not viable." All my dreams of the perfect pregnancy and delivery were shattered and forever changed. I do believe that all things happen for a reason. Something went wrong with our 1st little baby and though I'd never meet him, it was truly a comfort to know that his little remains were buried inside me instead of having to be expelled by the D&C. I will always love my 1st baby and have tremendous respect for my 1st pregnancy. Our loss was another testament to the power of the love between Chris and me, another hurdle that made us stronger. I cant tell you how proud I am of how we have handled the tougher things we've been dealt in our relationship.

So now, we find ourselves on a mountaintop, so to speak, in our life. We truly couldnt be happier! We're excited. We're planning and preparing for our new future. We're strengthening our marriage so that we can be the best parents we can be. We know there could still be bumps in the road but we're soaking in all the Goodness right now. Its awesome and amazing! I figured we could start this Blog to keep track of our thoughts, feelings, pictures, and details along the way of this exciting time and also keep our family and friends updated. Feel free to send us comments or emails. We hope you enjoy reading as much as we enjoy spreading the wonderful news!
