Well, since I just posted it on Facebook...I can say it now. Juliette is a big sister! I am almost thirteen weeks along with a precious child we are calling Baby Button.
It's been an emotional and joyful pregnancy.
We are so blessed and so delighted to have another child joining our family but can't help but think of the ones we have on the other side with Jesus.
But we are blessed.

10 months
J is ten months today. Ten precious months have passed. It's amazing how much I love her.
but it's still bittersweet.
Not a day goes by that I don't think of Samantha, Dominic, or Noah.
but we have a good God and heaven waits.
I think of them walking with Jesus and asking him curiously "when's our mommy going to get here?"
And I know that someday...when my eyes take in the sight of Jesus, I will be overjoyed......and that in the next glimpse...there will be three beautiful children....and I will run to them.
And all will be well.
This much is true and it's what I cling to on the darkest days.
This pain will not last forever.
I never knew what loss was until my babies were ripped away.

Precious Life
Our house is not clean.
Our sleep is not uninterrupted.
Our lives are disrupted in a wonderful way.
Our rainbow baby is here to stay.
Life has been good lately. It's not perfect but it's beautiful. There's a magical intimacy between Chris and I every time we realize that Juliette is a beautiful rainbow baby produced from the fruit and love of our marriage. We are so connected emotionally, in ways we never were before......
Juliette is a generally happy baby. She loves to smile. She's been doing so well! We love having her here.......
All in all, life has been wonderful. We had a really splendid holiday season and did not give in to the social stresses and pressures but rather enjoyed family and friends and most importantly the birth of Christ. It was hard though...too...every time I look at Juliette, I'm filled with joy...but it's bittersweet because I know what I'm missing. I miss Samantha, Dominic, and Noah so much....and yet, I leave it in God's hands. Because she wouldn't be here if they were. When we're alone, I whisper "I love you, Miracle...." because her life really is a miracle and precious.
Amazing where 2011 took us.
I'm in love with my baby girl.
