So here it is the day after we found out, and I'm starting to let it sink in that, yes, there is a new life growing inside of me. We were so excited to share the news with everyone yesterday. Surprisingly, the fear that I anticipated for so long is not there. I just feel different this time around. I thought that I would be really scared and wanting to be in the doctor's office ASAP, but I really don't. My first doctor appointment is on August 1, so I should be around 9 weeks at that time. I must be honest, there is a tiny bit of fear that I will go in for the ultrasound and there will not be a heartbeat. I guess I'm still scarred by that image with Brooke.

I am so looking forward to another pregnancy. God knows how much I have wanted this, and I realized today that the reason God made me wait longer than I originally wanted to is so I could enjoy the pregnancy this time because I have His peace. I am avoiding pregnancy website forums, because they really create more anxiety for me than doing good. I now prefer to call them "worry boards."

I also plan on posting pictures of my belly this time around. There are so many things I am looking forward to, but I am just enjoying each day at a time. Please continue to lift us up in prayer that this peace will remain with us.


Below is my big fat positive test result!
