My Pregnancy Update

" I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well." ~ Psalm 139:14

Mike and I announced our pregnancy almost 2 weeks ago. We believe that conception is a miracle and a gift and that life starts at conception. We believe that the Lord is worthy to be praised for each life, and that each life is to be rejoiced over, no matter how small or how short lived.

Shortly after announcing my pregnancy some complications arouse and the past week has been a confusing roller coaster. The doctors say this pregnancy will not be viable. They have offered me several times the option to speed along the process, to end this non viable pregnancy(which seems to be trying to end on its own without needed intervention) so that the process can be sped up to try for a more viable one.

Mike and I are certain that yes, indeed this baby (according to blood tests and symptoms I am having) is not viable for life. That being said, God alone is the giver and the taker of life. I am being closely monitored by my Dr. every few days and I am sure that very soon I will announce that the Lord has indeed taken this baby.

We invited you very early on to rejoice with us on our newest gift. Thank you for your kind words, love and encouragement. This baby had been the cry of our hearts for a very long time. God is so very good to us. Our circumstances in life change and things may not go the way we would desire them to, but He never changes!
