Drumroll please .-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- We're Pregnant! Like really and truly pregnant. I say that only because it's been a struggle to get pregnant and stay pregnant with another baby. After trying for over a year and a miscarriage back in June, I am absolutely delighted that we are back in the saddle again.
After the heartache of the miscarriage in June (which felt wrong from the start), this pregnancy has been like a beam of light. I found out the day after my expected period. I just knew I was pregnant. Usually I'd wait a few days before testing, just to be sure that I wasn't just late, but like I said, I knew I was pregnant. So I tested, and got a big, fat, undeniable, postive result! Immediately the image that came to mind was the Heaven's opening up and God winking at me. That might sound silly, but I got this overwhelming peace about this baby. I truly feel this is the child that we are meant to have. This is the missing person in our family.
So here I am again, dusting off the old blog. I mean, I need a place to record all of the thoughts and feeling of this pregnancy. I still feel like other social media sites are not really appropriate to post all things pregnancy related, and I want to be able to share my joy with those who want to know without infringing on those who are struggling to have a baby (or let's be honest, don't really care about being pregnant). Being the couple that has been trying to have another child for over a year and going through several miscarriages, we can certainly relate and be sensitive to the feelings of the those that would give anything to pregnant, and don't need reminders that they aren't.
The only other note I want to leave you with right now is, we've already been to the doctor and confirmed the viability, and it's in the uterus (always a concern after our ectopic pregnancy) And if all goes well then we'll have a cute squishy baby in May 2016. Whoo hoo! Be on the lookout for future blogs where I'll discuss some symptoms and thoughts from this time around! If you're inclined to pray for us, pray for a happy and healthy baby and pregnancy :-D .

To Blog or Not to Blog
To Blog or Not to Blog, That is the Ever-Loving Eternal Question Here. Am I right? Who's with me?
It's been awhile, I think I've truly gone off of the whole blogging thing. It wasn't intentional, it's just that life happened. And I am possibly the world's worst at documenting anything. I don't have a bazillion pictures of our family because I don't take a bazillion pictures. I really and truely make it an effort to be present whenever we are doing fun things. I don't want to view our life through a camera lens, but then I have nothing to look back on and go, oh yeah! We did that really fun thing that one time. In fact, I usually can't even find my phone with the decent camera, if by chance I do want to snap a quick photo, so I usually just tell Mike to take the picture. But then that leaves all the pictures on his phone, and I don't have them to share or look back on because they are on some stupid icloud somewhere in cyber space. (I wish our icloud would gather enough pictures for a storm and rain some random photos down to my computer - wouldn't that be cool!? Switch on your computer to see a virtual storm of past pictures raining down on your desktop? Okay maybe not imagine trying to sort them into some searchable format, but still, at least you know where my brain went for a minute... #tangent) (Oh and I'm really into #hashtags this year, it was my New Year's Resolution on Facebook, because I don't really use #twitter)
So now I'm in this never ending circle of thinking I should blog, just to record what we did and where we were and what I was thinking. But then I think, I don't have time, it's hard enough working full time, getting in good quality time with Sarah before bed every weeknight, and catching up on all the household chores before the weekend so we can do the really fun stuff. You know life. So I think I may try to start this whole blog back up, but I'm just not going to commit. I'm just dipping a toe in a testing the water again.
If you read this blog ~ yay you! You are probably the only person left who actually expended effort to check if anything had been updated. You should get a prize. How about: A Lifetime Supply of Oxygen, A Bucket of Water, and a Stick!? (#throwback #sorryyourprizesucks #thanksforreading)
