Today was the day was the day that our sweet little Anise Joy was due. While I don't think that one ever quite gets over the loss of a child so dearly wanted, I know that God had other plans for us today. Instead of giving birth to a child, we got to see another. Rather than being 40 weeks pregnant, I am nearly 20. Today, we found out that we are having a _________!! I'll reveal that in another post on a later date . . . once we've spread the word a little more personally (which does not mean Facebook--I'm trying to see how long we can go without making this child "Facebook Official").
Our latest little one was rather camera shy, which ended up working to our advantage because, while the incredibly nice, super nerdy (she and the doctor were totally geeking out over brain shots---"Oh man! What a beautiful corpus callosum. So perfectly aligned!" giggle, giggle) tech was trying to determine our little one's gender and to get a profile shot for us, we got tons and tons of photos--almost 10 in all. Way more than we ever got with Natalie. We got hands, legs, feet, and then finally a gender shot followed by several profiles of another thumb-sucking little one. We were in there for about an hour and a half. Healthy baby, so we're happy about that, and a few concerns about me, but other than that, everything looks great!

Words like happy and joy just seem so inadequet right now. I am blessed beyond measure to see God's love poured out upon you and your husband in this way. A new child...a gift from God, hand made by Him just for you. He loves you dearly Erin. Embrace His blessings.
