Baby number 2 is on the way! It is crazy to think that just 20 months ago, we were meeting Grayson for the first time, and now we're getting ready for a second.
We are 34 weeks pregnant with a baby girl! There is nothing quite like hearing the heartbeat of the little human being inside of your stomach. I don't think I'll ever stop being amazed at how God has designed the human body.
My heart is overwhelmed with joy and I am so excited to meet this little peanut!
I didn't realize how quickly you can come to love someone before you even know them.
Shortly after we found out that we were pregnant, we had quite a scare and for 2 days we thought that I had miscarried. During those 2 days, we were heartbroken, not knowing if we should be praying for a miracle or accepting the loss. We prayed so much during those 48 hours. The night before our appointment, Chris took my hand and asked me to kneel with him. As we knelt beside our bed, we asked and begged the Lord for life... for a miracle!
The next day, it seemed like 11am would never come. As I anxiously laid down on the exam table, squeezing Chris' hand, the nurse was looking at the screen... looking for something... for anything... she said with a smile on her face, "well I see a healthy baby and the heart beating."
With eyes full of tears, I said "are you serious?" I couldn't believe it. I squeezed Chris' hand even harder and smiled with tears running down my face.
In that moment, my breath was taken away. I felt so relieved. So happy. So amazed at the miracle of life and God's amazing power.
I just never imagined that I could come love someone so much so quickly. I hadn't felt her move yet, I hadn't even seen her until that moment, it had only been a week since we found out we were pregnant. But that little gummy bear floating around in my tummy... she was my child!
Now, we are 34 weeks, and she is moving and kicking and hiccuping and constantly reminding me that she is in there and ready to come meet us! She is a wild little girl who gives me lots of heartburn and already exhausts me (in a good way).
Grayson is slowly beginning to understand that he is going to be a big brother. He loves to hug and kiss mama's belly and currently likes to put stickers on his baby sister. My heart is so overwhelmed when I think about seeing them together for the first time. My amazing husband has also been so great during this time. He has loved me well, taken such good care of Grayson and I and has stepped up in so many ways to make life a little easier for me as I care for a busy toddler and this little girl growing in my belly. Thanks Chris!
We simply cannot wait to meet this sweet baby girl in a month and a half!
