As we make this announcement that we are adding to our family- it has been a long time in working through worry and paranoia as we know those feelings of loss. Including wanting to be sensitive to my friends who have been and are in the world of the loss of a child and infertility. As all new life is exciting and special in waiting for a child meant to be in your family, whether through adoption or biological. That waiting brings with it uncertainty and excitement! That uncertainty of what can happen can be so debilitating (in my experience) that I want to take control and worry makes me feel better- I guess!
This is meant to happen to bring us and me to my knees and give all the outcomes to God. Especially in this New Year, the trials both exciting and unknown shows me as said in church this am- to show myself WORTHY of the Salvation and Hope God has given me and all of us! That means I don't take control- but love others and God- which is what I need to work on majorly(if thats a word)!
Anyways- we are 17 weeks pregnant and due June 15ish 2012!!
Yes we are announcing the gender and name because we don't do good at WAITING!!
