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

I have tears streaming down my face-what an incredible blessing. You are an incredible testimony to God's unending grace, love and perfect plan. I just found out I am pregnant and my due date is August 28. I think of you and Reese daily. Again-what a blessing-congrats!!
Praise Jesus! How wonderful it is to hear you shouting with joy! Bryan and I are so happy for you. :)
I don't know you but "stumbled" on to your blog. Yes. I am crying & am praying.
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!
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.
Katie! I am so excited for you, Jason, and Zach!! I am crying and praying for you and the sweet little one that will soon be apart of your family!!!

Congratulations!!! I will pray for you and your family, Katie! I have "stalked" you after discovering adorable Zach on Shannon's blog. :) You are such a testimony to me - you are always able to praise God in "the storm," and I am continually inspired by your faith. May God bless you with a healthy baby!!
Congratulations Katie! I am so thrilled for you and your family.
Praise GOD from whom ALL blessings flow!! How amazing! My husband and I will be praying for you in Nashville, TN and have been for a while. You have a beautiful family and I have been so blessed by reading your blog!
Eeeeek! Katie, since I first read about your pregnancy with Reese when you were about 6 months along, you have often on my mind and heart and I cannot express my joy for you and Jason. What a blessing! I hoped this day would come soon. I love you by the love of Christ!
I've been a blog lurked for several months now. I ound your blog through Jennifer Francis. She and I went to school together. Just want to say Congrats Katie! I've been praying for you and your family. July is a good month. We have 2 little boys with a July birthday. I'll be praying for you throughout your pregnancy.
How wonderful! Praying for you and your sweet babe and fam. So happy for you! How sweet our Jesus is!
Just wanted you to know that we are rejoicing with you and praying that God will grant you this precious desire and give you a healthy baby! I have prayed for a long time that God would make you ready for baby #3 to be placed in your arms. God is good!
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!
Katie, I AM CRYING TEARS OF JOY for you, Jason, and Zack! I am beyond excited for you! You will be in my prayers. Love you girl! Congratulations! What a blessing!
This is my first comment here but I've been reading for awhile. My heart is overjoyed for you! I pray that you will have a happy and healthy pregnancy! Congratulations!

I'm still wiping away tears as I post this way-too-long comment to let you know that I am thrilled for you!!! Congratulations on your little blessing! :)
You and Jason give me much more hope than you can ever imagine.

I have been reading your blog now for a while. I am not sure I ever comment, but I do read. I check these every morning and this morning, I am crying. Tears of joy, hope and excitement for you as if we are the closest friends. Your due date is the same due date of my sweet Catherine! She arrived early and everything was great (7/24/09). I hope and pray a year from that date, you will feel the same joy that we felt bringing our sweet girl home. Congratulations! Our family will continue to keep you in our prayers.
God Bless You and yours. I pray for a safe pregnancy, delivery, and trip hom from the hospital!!!!!
I am sooo happy for you! I will be praying that God will bless you in this pregnancy and that you will be able to enjoy all of it.

Hi Katie-
I have never commented before but I have followed religiously since before Reese's birth. 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. What joyful emotions you must be feeling right now! I will continue to pray for you and that sweet baby and your wonderful family!
God Bless-
Diana

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!
I am so happy for your sweet family! I have been reading and praying for you since Reese was born. I too have a Reese. She was born about a month after your precious Reese!
I can't wait to hear what you are having and the names you choose!
Oh, Katie! I have read your blog for some time now but don't think I've commented. I am overwhelmed with joy for your family! Congratulations and I wish you nothing but happiness and blessings in the new year! :)
God is good!!! I don't know you, but I am crying tears of joy for you tonight. I am SO happy for you. I will continue to pray for you and your family.
Congratulations!
What!?! Very very exciting news! Prayers will continue for your family. An awesome God!
Continued Peace.
