I had lost you from my pop-down blog list after being gone on vacation (the hazards of reading blogs at work!) and just re-found you and read your wonderful news! And selfishly, even better for me, I didn't have to wait for the good news of the ultrasound -- I found out you are expecting and expecting a healthy baby all at once. At the same time, I know that healthy ultrasound does not mean worry-free pregnancy, so I am thrilled to be able to pray for you and this little one. Thank you for sharing your life with us.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15308746596689447396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7668050648919046122.post-6481344050074752062009-01-30T04:56:00.000-05:002009-01-30T04:56:00.000-05:00Hey Kristy,Wow, you really have a way with words. ...Hey Kristy,<BR/>Wow, you really have a way with words. Your post made me cry. I am right where you are (albeit not pregnant yet!) in terms of 'hoping' that next time everything might be ok. Hoping, but not really expecting it will be ok, nor really believing that it can be. You give me so much strength and so much hope. After a miscarriage, then the death of our first son, Will, 15 minutes after he was born from a genetic condition (25% chance of recurrence), then our second son, Charlie, being born with an unrelated, but incurable congenital heart defect - so many people have said we should just give up and make the most of the time we have with Charlie. But I'm not 'done' with babies yet, and Charlie is desperate for a sibling who he can meet. He's five and a bit now, and understands that we might have a baby like Will, who has to go straight to Heaven, or one like him with a 'special' heart... or even a boring, ordinary 'normal' baby! (Oh, how I'd love to have boring and ordinary for a change!) It's just so hard to hear him pray every night for our (as yet not-even-conceived!) next baby - 'Dear Lord Jesus, please let our baby have nothing wrong with it and let it be able to stay with us.' Charlie has quite a few food issues because of his heart, and struggles a bit with eating. But my mum told him that she's been praying he'll find eating easier - and just recently he's started having school lunches and is doing really well with them. He said to me the other day 'Nanny was praying that I'd get quicker at eating, and I have - and I've been praying that our next baby will be ok - so it will!' I guess that's the kind of faith and hope I should be aspiring to! Sorry to ramble on - I know you understand where I'm coming from! Please know that we're praying for all of you, and especially for your new little one.

It is a road of letting go of the life line, and grabbing it again when you feel yourself beginning to fall, then letting go again. God understands.

My husband and I delivered conjoined twin girls on November 11, 2008 they only lived for an hour. (I can't remember if I have commented on your blog before sorry) When I think about getting pregnant again all the thought that you wrote about in your post just start flooding my brain. I just have to remember that God is sovereign and His ways are far better than mine. I really enjoy reading this blog http://emily0305.blogspot.com/2009/01/she-gets-to-stay.html <BR/>their baby also died and she is now pregnant again. Yall have a lot in common and I'm sure could be such an encouragement to each other. I'm so excited that you have LIFE growing in your womb.

I had three miscarriages within a year. Two times the miscarriages were discovered on days I was scheduled for an ultrasound. (Therefore I can relate to your ill-feelings about ultrasounds) Each time I asked God for his guidance and after each loss I turned to him instead of away as so many do. I asked him to take care of my babies. I told him if I was not meant to have children of my own and instead adopt I would follow that path. When I discovered that I was pregnant again I found myself believing that the child was destined to be with God as were my others. Throughout my whole pregnancy I never could shake that feeling. It wasn't until I had my son for the first time did I truly realize how doubtful I had become. <BR/>God knows what is best for us. I believe that your child is going to be here to stay for a long time. God has his plan and if you let him guide you and not question what can not be changed that plan will reveal itself.Mbeaty19https://www.blogger.com/profile/11201072477303553252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7668050648919046122.post-82089066493173771482009-01-29T15:34:00.000-05:002009-01-29T15:34:00.000-05:00Hi!

I remember struggling to hope when I was expecting our youngest son James (after losing our twins, Faith and Grace and a year-an-a-half later, our son Thomas). My husband could not allow himself to believe that our baby would live througout the entire pregnancy. It wasn't until we held him in our arms that it was real...and even then, we couldn't believe it! We CAN hope in our Lord...He will never let us down...whatever the outcome. I know you know that. He is carrying you, even now. And we are praying...and we will keep praying, for hope and for the blessing of new life.<BR/><BR/>Keep Hanging on,<BR/>Kelly GerkenKelly @ Sufficient Grace Ministrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11182310611088290551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7668050648919046122.post-72662771286269592562009-01-29T15:10:00.000-05:002009-01-29T15:10:00.000-05:00Your fears and your hopes are so familiar to me. ...Your fears and your hopes are so familiar to me. Having lost two babies already it is hard not to prepare yourself for the worst...but don't forget to also prepare for the best..for the blessings He wants to give you. I struggled with fear throughout each of my pregnancies. We lost our innocence after loosing our first child and with each subsiquent pregnancy I struggled. I almost think my last pregnancy (number 5) was the hardest. Dumb superstitious stuff...we lost number 1, kept 2, lost 3, kept 4....number 5 ? There was a pattern and I was on the loosing side. I'm not a supersticious person by any stretch but I couldn't kick that fear. I had to claim it as the lies it was and believe that each baby is a unique gift..not just an even or odd number :) He is a healthy and energetic two year old right now :)<BR/>You will have a beautiful little blessing tearing up your house very soon. :)Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14317610661817876605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7668050648919046122.post-13026660486545020402009-01-29T15:04:00.000-05:002009-01-29T15:04:00.000-05:00I am so happy as I am sure you are that God has al...I am so happy as I am sure you are that God has allowed another blessing to come into your family!!

The road you have traveled would lead anyone to struggle with fear of what to hope and what to dream for. Just from where I sit now I struggle with putting hope in having a healthy family. Some part of me fears that by putting my hope in that I am not being humble. And that I am trying to control how God works which obviously I know I can't. I don't know if these are some of the fears that have been driven up for you, but these fears in how to be really have been on my mind. So your post hit home today!! <BR/><BR/>I guess I'm trying to say it's okay to feel shaky on where to put your hope right now, God understands. The place I can find comfort in those difficult thoughts, is God knows already.
