We've been bursting to tell everyone, and we've finally made it to 13 weeks today! We're joyfully and hopefully expecting our first little baby boy or girl mid-April!
It has been quite a journey getting to this point, and though it was full of pain and much loss, we are so thankful for how the Lord has used the journey to conform us more to His image. We do not deserve this Life He gives, but we gratefully receive it as His gift of grace. Greg and I continue to pray that He will prepare us for this huge change and that He will enable us to show His love to this little one. We covet your prayers for and with us as we await our baby's arrival.
Because of our three prior losses, we were monitored closely during the first eight weeks, so we were able to have two ultrasounds very early on to see and measure the heartbeat and size. It was absolutely amazing to watch the tiny little dark spot on the screen pulsing with life.
We'll hopefully know whether it's a boy or girl just before Thanksgiving -- let us know what you think; vote in our poll on our blog!

Kim, my husband Travis and I, went to school with Greg. Although, we've never had the chance to meet you. I wanted to congratulate you both on your pregnancy. We recently lost our baby, but I was greatly encouraged by your story. We wish you both the best. May the Lord continue to bless you. Tell Greg that we said hello!
Sorry, it would help if I told you who this is! The last comment was from Annie and Travis Dunigan
I am so happy for you and Greg! I will be praying for you. I understand the losses that you have experienced...Bland and I also have lost three babies. I am confident that you and Greg will be amazing parents (my kids think you are awesome!) We praise God with you over this blessing!
Yaaaaaay! Now we can share the joy with everyone! "Hug" that little one for Grandma!
Congratulations! I couldn't be happier for you all!
I bet your mom and dad are just beside themselves with joy :)
Kim, I just cannot tell you how happy I am to hear this. What an amazing answer to prayer. We will be praying for health and peace for the remainder of your pregnancy.
The joy of your little one will make all of the difficulty in the journey seem so small. What a blessing that is. But, I know you will treasure him/her in a different way because of all you have gone through.
How very exciting!!!
What great news to Great Grandma Lois and Great Grandpa Earl and we are so proud of you two for your faith that God and everybody are with you. Thanks so much for your phone call to us previously as it is a great honor for the priviledge of your sharing the great news with us.
Our Love to all three of you!!!!
SOOO Excited! Love you and still praying for this precious one who has already had so many prayers knitted into his or her life!
Oh, Kim, I am so happy for you! What wonderful news!!! After all you've been through, I'm so glad that your little one is growing and thriving. Praise God!
Congrats to the two of ya!
I'll let M know and we'll be praying for the remaining time!!!
