Finally

We finally told EVERYONE 2 days ago about my pregnancy. We waited 20 weeks and 5 days, and that's about 20 Weeks sooner than we had been shooting for. Lol. Our parents and siblings knew since about 8 weeks, but we decided to hold off on telling most everyone else until this point.

Not having told extended family about the pregnancy is one of the biggest reasons I've laid off blogging as much as I used to. I've got so much to say, but I knew I couldn't since some of my family reads it. It's been a rollercoaster of emotions, and I'm sure there are so many more to still come.

There has been lots of excitement, lots of hope, and lots of prayer. There has also been a ton of constant worrying, caution, and trying not to get to attached. I've learned that I can't help but get attached, and the pain would be no less than if I did get attached, and lost this child too. I'm thankful to God that so far things are looking really good.

I miss the innocence of pregnancy before a loss, but I'm also grateful that I understand the beauty and miracle that every pregnancy is. I feel like I appreciate what is happening inside my body so much more this time around. There are so many other emotions that go with this pregnancy, but I'll leave that for another blog.
