I feel more excited to share this news with you than some I've been able to tell in person, as the friendships, support, and encouragement I've made through this blog during our infertility struggle has honestly been a bigger blessing then I could have ever imagined.
Thank you for your encouragement and prayers as I've shared my heart through disappointments, struggles and hope for this baby that we've prayed for daily these last two years.
There are still many times that I feel nervous about the future and feel like this isn't real, but I am believing that I will get to hold our sweet baby in July.
Thank you again for your prayers. They have been so comforting and are appreciated more than you know.

Ok, first I had to swallow the sip of wine I had just taken and try not to choke, and then the tears started flowing. As a mother of two beautiful girls, I know the feeling of longing, of waiting, and then the miracle of receiving. Congratulations Katie! You will continue to be in my prayers. We have a very special bond, as you know...Katie, Lauren and Lauren, Lena, and several others...I feel it! Maybe, just maybe it will be a girl and will need 3 names?!!! LOL Continue to keep the faith and pray daily for your little one. God bless both of you!

This brought me to tears. Our battle hasn't been going on as long, we got pregnant pretty quickly, considering how little we actually saw each other anyway, rambling now ... but mine was ectopic after a lifetime of being terrified that my diabetes would be the evil culprit in my pregnancy. Like you, I developed tons of fears and what if's. So, you are right. God is in control. Period. Big and Small. Sooooooo CONGRATULATIONS. I will pray for y'all {and your nerves!}. God Bless!
I AM JUST SO EXCITED FOR YALLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Katie!!! SERIOUSLY SO EXCITED!

Oh Katie, I am SO SO happy for you! It took me a few years, doctors, and modern medicine to have my little girl, and while I have no way to compare the feelings, I feel like I appreciate and enjoy the parenting process SO much more than I would have if it weren't such a journey to get here. All those tears and heartache seem worth it now, because it put my love for her in such a better perspective.
Congratulations again, and enjoy every second...you'll be a great mama!
