Pregnant pictures of our miracle baby

To my dear precious baby

Today I got to thinking maybe I should start to write to you,since by the time you'll be able to read this will be in quite a few years.
I remember the day your dad and I started to think our family was not yet completely done,but knew it would take a miracle from God to conceive you.
It took such a long road and many,many heartaches and dissappointments that sometimes mommy really did not believe God would grant us this one wish.I finally started to give in and say ok God maybe we are not to have anymore children,so I'll just keep trying to be closer to my children and trying to really grow within you.It was hard,I won't say it wasn't because mommy's faith really took a toll on her.
In July we had gotten the word we finally were pregnant only to find out your brother/sister was not going to make it,unfortunately mommy and daddy's heart was yet once again heart broken.
We got through it,with alot of prayer,great friends and each other.
In December,daddy and I decided we'd try one more time,just in case God had in his heart to bring you to us,well on December 15th,we got the news that yes indeed we got pregnant.In the beginning it was touch and go but you hung on,we saw your little heart beat when you were 7wk1day old and i'm so thankful to God he showed us his mercy and gave you to us.

Our first picture of our baby bean

I'm proud to announce after cramping and light bleeding,we finally saw our precious little baby, with a heart beat of 130.I can not put in words what a relief this was. During Bible study this morning,I realized I had not entirely put my trust in God.I'm still in shock and mostly in shock that God actually answered our prayers and gave us this miracle child,and I had not been the faithful,but it wasn't until I learned to be content with what I had and not what I did not have.
So, here is our little baby bean.

Our pregnancy journey

We are expecting #9

That is right,I can't believe it. I was eating pickles and onions and got sick.I wondered so I took a test and waited a second,it did not turn so I threw it out. I then was talking to my husband who said after I told him about the pickles and onions.I should take a test.I told him I had and it was negative.I later looked in the trash at the test and it was positive.So I took several more waited the time limit and there it was .I took several more to be sure.I had my first Dr's appt with a blood draw that confirmed it.My hcg levels were 102 mon,210Wed and 470 Fri. So,it looks like we have a baby coming. August 24th.Is my due date.Funny thing is this baby is due 3 days after my 5 yr old was due.

Thank you for all the prayers.

It's been along time

I know it's been so long since I updated my blog,I have been feeling a bit overwhelmed with alot in my life. First, us not being able to concieve and carry a new baby,to going back to work,homeschooling my girls and all the other stuff on our calendars daily. It's been hard spiritually and emotionallybut God has brought me through a whole lot,even speaking to me through homeschooling our DD in her bible curriculum the story of Job,it really has hit me I need to look towards God instead of blaming him for our losses or our lack of becomig pregnant again. It's been 13 months since my husband had is vasectomy reversal.
We are homeschooling our 3 girls,while I work M-Th and Dad homeschools while I work,then I do it while he works.

Onto month 12 of trying to conceive our 9th baby

Well, God has good reason for trying us at this journey,but thought I'd let y'all know my cycle started today,so we onto month #12. We did conceive in June but miscarried,so hoping God will bless us again.
