It's amazing how God works. And I know I shouldn't be surprised because He's just awesome and can do anything, but I am...constantly surprised and amazed.
Over a year ago I prayed that if it was God's Will for our lives to have another child that He would soften our hearts and prepare us for that. And He answered it. In July, Josh and I started discussing the possibility of having another child. We prayed about it more and talked about it a lot and decided in September that we'd start trying. Not thinking of course that we would get pregnant right away, but thinking it would take a while.
Exactly a week after Brodie passed we found out that we were expecting another child. September 30th. I was already 4 weeks along. Of course we were overjoyed and surprised that it happened that quick. And we're still overjoyed and excited! But as I thought about it more, still sad after losing Brodie, I realized that God gave us something amazing and something positive to focus on in the midst of our sadness. How good is He that He loves us so much that He provides for us and wants us to be happy?!? He had all of this prepared in advance, knew what we would be going through, and knew how to help us. And the fact that He prepared our hearts and made it happen so quickly amazes me. I love that about Him!
So, here we are. This week I will be 12 weeks. Entering my second trimester. Myself and baby are doing great. After a few weeks of fatigue and nausea, I'm feeling like my normal self again and all is well. Our newest addition is due June 11th!
