Know

You know you've lost a baby when you pray you will be able to bring your next one home from the hospital. Few women know the pain of coming home empty-handed to a closet filled with newborn baby clothes ready to be worn, a baby book waiting to be filled in with all the "firsts," and a diaper bag filled with all the essentials that will not be used.

Thoughts like this probably never cross the mind of a mom who has never lost a baby and is pregnant. Why should they? They are against everything we feel in our hearts as moms. It's against everything normal. I never had thoughts like these before Reese was born.

My heart now is filled with so many desires and prayers. That next time I'll be able to walk out (or be wheeled out) of those hospital doors with a baby in my arms. Our third baby. GOD's baby. Wow. What a day! It gives me butterflies in my stomach and chills all over just thinking about this.

I also think about the moment the nurse places our next son or daughter in my arms. I remember with Zach and Reese. Now I look forward to this day with as much anticipation as I did our wedding day. I just don't think I'll ever let go. ; )

My mind continues to wonder about the main events of this day. Our third child's birthday. I think about when Jason and I will first hear his or her little (or hopefully loud) cry. Reese never made a sound, but what a shout her life made and continues to be.

I want this day to be filled with joy and praise, not worry or fear. Tears of happiness and not of despair. A day and a baby covered with prayer.

Only GOD knows the exact day, the hour, the minute, (and everything that may happen) but we are thrilled to announce our next baby should arrive in July.

WE ARE GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER BABY!!!!!

July 28th is my due date. One month before Reese's due date last year August 28th.

Is GOD good or what!?

Thank you thank you thank you, Jesus, for this gift of life. Laughter. Redemption.

Are you jumping up and down, crying tears of joy, and praising the LORD yet!?

I am. ; )

We're also holding our breath and clinging to hope. Here we go...

Be at rest once more, O my soul,
for the LORD has been good to you.

Psalm 116:7

Sara said...

Tears of joy! I just lifted you up in prayer early this morning. It was about 1:00 am and I was up with my fussy baby and when he finally went back to sleep and I returned to bed, before I went back to sleep, I asked the Lord to bless you with another opportunity to snuggle a fussy baby in the middle of the night! God is soooo good! I will now continue my prayers for your healing, but also for a healthy pregnancy, delivery and baby!

Elizabeth said...

OH MY GOODNESS... God is so good and the bible says that He gives us the "desires of our heart." May the Lord richly bless this pregnancy. Looking forward to "sharing" this blessing via the blog world with ya'll!! May God comfort your hearts and minds as you continue to go through your journey of grief and joy! Prayers from Indy.

Casey said...

Oh, praise our good Lord!! I have never commented before but have cried with you. I have a 3 year old girl and a 7 month old baby boy and I have made sure to kiss them more and hold them a little tighter just for you! I am so happy for you and this new little baby growing inside you. I have a a very best friend that lost her baby on her due date. Went to the hospital thinking she was in labor only to have no heartbeat. I was there when she delivered and have never seen or felt so much pain. But three months later she got pregnant and had another beautiful, healthy baby boy exactly one year after the death of her first son. It was a wonderful but bittersweet day!! I will be praying for you! I have never lost a child but after that with my dear friend I never took my pregnancy or baby boy for granted b/c I knew how fast it could be gone. You are such an inspiration and witness!

I am 33 weeks pregnant right now and through your blog, I continue to pray daily that in the coming weeks, I will be able to walk out of the hospital with a baby and be so grateful to what your blog has taught me about life, love and most importantly the works of God.

Hi Katie!
Praise the Lord!!! God is so good..I think that I saw a post on Kelly's Korner asking for prayer right after Reese's birth. Then I came across your blog on someone else's just the other day and I have to tell you I sat here and sobbed...
Your faith and trust in the Lord is truly inspiring.
Congratulations to you & your entire family!!

Katie - This is the best news! I have been reading your blog since you were in the hospital, very sick, before Reese was born. Your daughter has made such an impact on my life, and my attitude toward my beautiful children was forever changed by your pictures and words in the midst of your grief. You're right - she didn't made a sound, but the world did shout for her. Congratulations on your joyous news!
