On this day in my last pregnancy, I had a baby. Naturally, you're not supposed to have a baby this soon, but we did, and we believe it was no accident.
Today has been a strange, emotional day. I'm already emotional, but I've been especially tearful in thinking about how surprising and shocking Amos' birth was; how hard the separation was and how long the hospital stay was; especially happy that his life was saved and that we get to enjoy him today; and especially hopeful that Baby Sister's story will be different from her big brother's, and that we'll be able to have a natural birth, of a full term, healthy baby.
God has been good to us throughout our lives, during Amos' short life so far, and even to Baby Sister, in keeping her in my womb, as active as she may be. So we can trust him that no matter what, it's part of his plan, and he will love us and care for us.
As for today, I'm glad to still be pregnant right now and am praying for ten more weeks. I'll keep taking it a day at a time.

cute picture:) I'm glad everything is going well for you! Here's to *almost* 10 more weeks for you (and hopefully only 7 for me:)
i can't believe it when I look at photos of beautiful Amos...it seems like time has flown by so fast since I was reading the blog of his trying times and your heartbreaking days of waiting and hoping and all of us on the other side sending you all the best energy and thoughts we could muster up.
im so proud of you Sally Freckles!
I love you.
