High above Cloud Nine...

No matter how many words I write down today, there will not be enough to express how amazing "this" feels. I can't quite capture in multiple paragraphs the feeling of faith, joy and excitements flowing through me. I've never been more excited for one journey to end, and another to begin.

Eric and I have now been married for two years (where has the time gone?!) - and shortly before our one-year anniversary, we started to discuss planning for a family. At that point, I don't think we even understood the level of emotions we would feel over the next year. Never did we expect to feel as if our questions would not be answered, that we would become numb to the word "disappointment". But, within those unanswered questions, we opened our heart again.

The journey we are now on, is one that inspired our faith. You grow up having this relationship with God, and attempting to understand His plan for you. After countless rounds of fertility medication, the door was shut. But ironically, together with the most devastating loss imaginable, our faith began to grow stronger. We had been given a sense of hope.

I can't explain or credit any specific reason why God took us down a long and curvy road - but, He had a reason. "Something" about our first baby wasn't right, and He knew it. And, to know one month later, He was ready to give us the most amazing gift, restores all that we thought was lost.

So, here we are - almost 11 weeks PREGNANT. And, it couldn't be more amazing. :)

Hearing and seeing Baby's heartbeat was nothing we ever pictured. It's one of those moments that you remember every time you close your eyes. Hearing the words "perfect" and "right on track" never felt so good. At this point, we're high above Cloud Nine...
