"Nooooo" Baby.

   Who doesn't love a "noo baby" as Amelia puts it. There are perks to knowing what your course is, and trying for a baby was the most immediate perk on our journey.  ( Sean was dedicated to "doing his part" as he referred to it haha.)
   We are expecting! The Lord is merciful and loving. Although I know a hard pregnancy is in order I also know that He blessed us to start that path quickly so I could move on to medicinal healing quickly too.
   I found out while we were at our family reunion, the timing was right and I was hoping for a positive so I had brought a test with me to take on the last day... Hallelujah we are on our way! I feel the accelerating of the arthritis everyday and hope that with this pregnancy comes some sort of remission. I have been told that it happens for many women, but I have been pregnant before and not too long ago at that! many of my worst complaints during the last pregnancy feel a lot like arthritis does now, so who knows... I remain optimistic.
    Sean absolutely glowed when I told him. I recall vividly telling him when we were expecting our oldest , sweet Emeline, and his joyous reaction. Every announcement since has been met with even more joy as we have come to understand that blessing that parenthood is. To be a mother, a father, to be co creators with God and part of the miracle of life. These blessings are better understood now than ever before. We shared the news with our family immediately. Amelia wrote me this note soon that day and I texted it to my mom and sister as the announcement to them. My due date is March 31st, 2015. I love spring babies!!
