Guess What…

July 16, 2012 by Lena {JOYfilledfamily} Filed Under: Baby, GFG, Miscarriage, Pregnancy

I’ve been trying to come up with a clever way to share some blessed news but figured I’d let you find out the same way everyone else is finding out.

Take a look at the video.

Dad and I believe that this was a wonderful grace from our recent pilgrimage.  This is my eleventh pregnancy, first since a series of two back to back miscarriages. 

We’ve known I was pregnant since I was two weeks along.  The days have been slowly passing as I anxiously waited for the the six-eight week mark, hoping, praying for the opportunity to carry this beloved blessing to full-term.  The waiting has been a beautiful gift for me, uniting me closely to Our Lord and Blessed Mother. 

I heard the baby’s heart beat at seven weeks.  I’m nine weeks along, today – Deo gratias!
