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!!

How wonderful, how sensitive, how sweet you are and how GREAT that you are expecting! God knows all of the ups and downs we face; He certainly knows the sweets and sours of our lives. I am so excited that you have a child NOW within you. I pray that this baby will make it into your open arms! You are a wonderful pair of parents, I love you with all my heart and I sure am excited for you all! (this is Robyn, btw, in case you couldn't tell) XOXO
Your blog is such a gift to those of us who have experienced a loss and look forward to our reunion with them in Heaven. A great big congratulations to both you and Scott on the news of baby Huffman. Such a precious gift to experience life growing within you. We will be praying for the next little Huffman to grow strong and healthy as we all wait for his/her arrival. Love and prayers, Wendy and Art
