A BIG SISTER!!
After 9 months of trying it has finally happened! I am PREGNANT!
This road of TTC has been trying for me. I thought it would be so easy for us to conceive but it wasn't. The months passed and each month we were left disappointed. I stomped my feet at the unfairness of it all. I have taken losing my daughter with a lot of grace in my opinion, so why couldn't God just give us this!? Conversations and scripture with Trisha helped me realize that I just needed to trust God's plan in all of this. I trusted Him with Carleigh and He brought me through it all. He could certainly handle this!
I hoped very much that this would be our month. I wanted to start the new year off with a new life. The day AF was supposed to come came and went. I took 3 tests over the next few days and they were all negative. It wasn't until a week later that I got my very faint positive. Thank you Christina for prompting me to test one more time.
I found out yesterday and in that moment I was very excited but also quite shocked! I wanted to cry but I couldn't! My body just couldn't! But then I also got scared. I don't want anything to happen to my rainbow baby and I'm afraid of that happening. I'm putting my hope and trust in God on this new adventure we are on. Pregnancy after loss. And I know it is difficult to read this if you are a mommy who is still trying for her rainbow or if your have lost your rainbow. My heart goes out to each of you.
Please keep us and our rainbow baby in your prayers. We would appreciate that so much!!

Holly, I am so SO happy for you. I was actually thinking about you and how you were TTC today. I cannot believe it, I am thrilled for you!!!! I started reading that book Pregnancy After Loss tonight too, so ironic. I strongly recommend it. Actually if I finish it soon enough I will send it to you if that is okay :) I have only read a few pages but it is a good read. Jill from Footprints on our Hearts sent it to me.

Congratulations! I am so very happy for you and your family! You have been in my prayers ever since I read about Carleigh's diagnosis. I followed your journey, prayed, and cried with you. I know you said you weren't able to cry when you got the positive, but tears of joy are flowing from me. I will be adding baby sissy to my prayers. YEA!
So very happy for you! I will be praying for you and this little one in your womb.
Congratulations! So happy for you! Praying for a beautiful and easy pregnancy!
Congratulations. That is wonderful. This rainbow will be bittersweet and a little scary but as you know He will not give us anything we can't handle. But sometimes don't you wish He didn't trust us so much. Many prayers and blessings to your family. That is just wonderful.
Hooray-hooray! Congrats, that is just so awesome! You are totally normal to be scared - it's terrifying and thrilling!
Holly this is such great news. Congratulations. I can't imagine the emotions you are going thru and will go thru but we will pray with you for a happy heathy baby.
I am Super happy for you! You deserve this more than anything! I will pray that it all turns out wonderful for you! God Bless you and your family!
How wonderful! I am so happy for you Holly :-) Praying for a healthy pregnancy and baby!
Congratulations!!! It is so hard waiting while TTC- especially after a loss- and then 40 more weeks of waiting to meet this precious one! One of my friends from my support group passed this wisdom on to me- she reminded me to enjoy each and every moment of the pregnancy because that way if something were to happen again I'd be able to look back with happy memories and no regrets. It's easier said than done but kept me smiling through the puke :)
I'll be praying for you!
Yay!! So glad to read this! And I will be praying that all goes smoothy.
I once read a church sign that said "God's delays are not denials". It was after having gone through some trials and trying so hard to understand His plan. At that moment a peace came over me and I realized that my timing is not always his time. You're right thought, it's tough to trust when you're wanting to hold a little one so badly.
Oh, I'm just so happy for you!
Yea!
Congratulations!!!
Hugs,
Trisha
Congratulations!!!!
