A few months ago, I shared my heartbreak with you when I spoke about the pain of my miscarriages. And you all blew me away! Your prayers, emails, phone calls and comments blessed me profoundly. They gave me courage and hope, both of which I have really needed the last few months, because…not long after that post, we saw two pink lines again!!!

It has been so hard keeping this secret from you! So, I’m thrilled to FINALLY be sharing this joy, pure joy, with you! AE would like you to see a picture of her little BROTHER (IT’S A BOY!)!!

We would greatly appreciate your prayers for a healthy pregnancy for me and my little man – due to arrive this summer!

I’ve long dreamed for siblings for AE (and she’s been asking for a baby brother for a long time!). So, as we prepare to be four, I’m overcome with gratitude to God for this blessing. 

Thank you for your love, prayers and support.

P.S. Special thanks to my dear friend Elaine of Bless Your Heart Photography who took these wonderful pictures for us. Local DC Metro readers, check her out on her blog and on Facebook!

    Congratulations! I appreciated your openness and sharing about your miscarriages. I, too, am expecting a baby this summer after a miscarriage about a year before getting pregnant with this one. Saying a prayer for a healthy, happy pregnancy.

      Thanks, April. She talks to and about her baby brother all the time. “I give him bath. I hold his hand. I change is diaper. I read him stories. I sing to him. I hold him in my arms.” God is good!

      Thanks, Anne! Though I’m already getting flack from a facebook friend about the girly shoes in the first picture. We just haven’t been shoe shopping for him yet!! No he will not wear AE’s shoes. 🙂
