24 Weeks

Here we are 24 weeks as of tomorrow morning... I am feeling a little anxious, a little nervous, and very reflective on past events. My body has never been past this point before. Tomorrow we reach the same point of pregnancy that we were at when we went into labor with Blaze. We have been to a bunch of Dr. appts everything is looking great so far. They are taking extra good care of us however part of me can't help be worried a little... from here on out after just 6 more days (that we're all spend in Labor last time) we will be in uncharted territory... we'll have never been pregnant past that point. I can only have hope in good things to come. It has seemed to go by much faster this time.
My heart is full and my heart is hopeful! I am grateful for Blaze grateful that we got to spend a week with him, loving him and learning more than we ever imagined we could from someone so small. I am also grateful for the opportunity to be pregnant again! We are not so naive this time as to think all babies come to stay or that all parents get healthy children... but we are hopeful that my body can hold on and we will get to bring Blazes little Brother home to love and to learn from. My good friend Stef and I went to lunch yesterday and she said "Little children come to teach us not for us to teach them" Does that ever ring true for me. Little children are the gateway to heaven and I am thankful for an angel to lead us home and a new baby to teach us while we're here.

Beautifully said. We'll be thinking of you, and Blaze and this new little brother everyday until he arrives safely on this earth! Love you.

We're praying for you guys every day over here! Can't wait to see the new little bundle of joy. . .in another few months, of course. :)

I'm so glad things are going well. I can't blame you for being nervous, how could you not be? You are so awesome and things will go great! In fact you will be so grateful to still be pregnant everyday that you will probably have a great attitude about the uncomfortableness at the end. If that makes sense. :) Good luck with everything! You are amazing!

I am glad that things are going better for you guys this time. I think about you guys a lot. It really is such a miracle for those little spirits to come into our lives and for all of the amazing lessons we learn from them. We will add Baby G. to our prayers, and pray for both of our little boys to grow to be healthy and strong.

I am praying for you to hold on to this wee little one as well. The next 10 weeks are the best part of pregnancy and you deserve to enjoy it. (After that you are so big it is uncomfortable and you are ready for him to be here)Embrace every little bump, kick, and hiccup. He will be here before you know it.
