It truly is heart wrenching! Our family has five boys and then we lost our sixth child in a life threatening miscarriage. A year later, the Father ABUNDANTLY lavished our hearts with our sweet, precious and only daughter. I remember sitting and soaking in the song, "How He Loves" while TRUTH began to heal my broken heart. What a dear treasure your son is! I'm beyond thrilled for you! Even though your trip was a disappointment, like those lyrics, "My soul will rest in your embrace. Your Grace abounds in deepest waters; Your Sovereign Hand will be my Guide" He truly is ALWAYS good!! Blessings upon blessings to you!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07198268338691559808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964660014718272744.post-67302364199040017622015-07-28T11:48:52.590-05:002015-07-28T11:48:52.590-05:00This is a beautiful post.

I have been trying to get pregnant with my husband for a while now and reading this gives me hope and faith.

I’m so happy for you! We jus...So beautiful, Lesley. I’m so happy for you! We just had boy #3. He's 9 weeks old :) Finding out I was pregnant with him was the most wonderful surprise. We went through infertility and miscarriage earlier in our marriage, and decided that any "prevention" wasn't necessary after our 2nd son was born. If we got pregnant again, we'd be overjoyed, but no more fertility treatments. I started hoping and praying for a miracle baby right away. After five years, I resigned myself to the fact that I was never having another baby, and decided that I really was content with our family of four. Then, it happened! :D I was so amazed and thankful. The comments we got from some people were similar to what you've experienced… ”You know how this happens, right?” or “Are you going to keep trying for a girl?” Maybe people just don't know what to say? I’m baffled by it. A simple "congratulations" is always nice. :) I understand the fear too. Being pregnant is a very joyful and special time, but it is wrapped in fear (at least it was for me). I highlighted this from my Jesus Calling devotional recently: “Wear My Love like a cloak of Light, covering you from head to toe. Have no fear, for perfect Love decimates fear.” I’ve also read in the past that peace is the opposite of fear, and I highlighted this too (also from Jesus Calling): “I look into your mind and see thoughts spinning round and round: going nowhere, accomplishing nothing. All the while, My Peace hovers over you, searching for a place to land.” I often have to stop myself, take a deep breath, hold it in for a few seconds while I envision the Holy Spirit filling me with light and peace, and then blow all my worries out. I picture them in something like a clear Christmas ornament hanging on a string that floats toward the Father when I blow it away, but that will swing back to me if I start worrying again. Sounds cheesy, I know, but it helps me. ;) I’m praying that the rest of your pregnancy is filled with joy, and that your baby boy arrives healthy and at just the right time.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16218766072752022234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964660014718272744.post-70684502765472659062015-07-24T23:06:36.417-05:002015-07-24T23:06:36.417-05:00The Ellie Holcomb Pandora station is playing in my...The Ellie Holcomb Pandora station is playing in my background right now. Oceans played about two songs before I read this post. A post I've held on a tab on my browser for days waiting until things were still around me so I could read. <br /><br />Tomorrow's a year. God is faithful no matter what. "Hope with skin on." Love that.

We would have been just as happy with a 4th girl. I loved your closing lines, "So yeah. If you ask me if we're excited about having a boy. Darn right we are. To God be the glory. Great things He has done." Maybe I'll just say that when I get all the comments!!

I have never known so much fear. We didn't know what gender our baby would be and people didn't seem to believe me when I told them that I really didn't care, I just wanted a healthy baby. When you have had that fear, the only thing that matters is a healthy baby. That little baby is a 3-month-old boy now. Praying for a continued healthy pregnancy for you and your baby boy!Cheree Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09595641532042442070noreply@blogger.com
