Happy News

I am 12 weeks pregnant!  Jay and I have been wanting this for over a year, and it has not been an easy road.  We had a few miscarriages that were very hard on us, and we have been hesitant to share the news until we were sure everything was good this time.  I had my 12 week checkup this morning and everything looks great!  We are so excited.

It is bittersweet.  After losing my dad, it was hard to get back to an emotional/physical place where I felt this was something we could handle.  My mom was there on the phone with me through all the good times and hard times as we tried to get pregnant.  She wanted it for us so much, and it was tough to find out I was pregnant just two weeks after she died.  With something like this you just want to call your mom. 

I told Nanna the news when I was in Greenwood several weeks back and swore her to secrecy.  It was tough for her, but I talked to her this morning and told her to start getting on the phone. 

The due date is March 25th! So I hope the next 6 months go well.
