After my last post about our infertility struggles, I felt exposed.
Allowing people into our private struggles wasn't comfortable. Letting you know how desperately I wanted to be a mother was an unexpected challenge.
But I approached it with the view I try to have of the world at large — one of hope... I never truly lost hope.
When I wrote this post about my peace with God if one child was all we would ever parent, I approached it with the same hope, but also a sense of humility.
I know I was hand selected to be K's mother. I know she was destined for our family. And I know our journey is an important story to share with as many people as possible because it is real evidence of God's living love for us all, even the forgotten children.
And now, I have another story to tell.
One of hope — against the odds of nature, modern medicine, and even logic at times.
One of humility — again, the Lord has trusted me with an amazing challenge and I pray and trust He is preparing me for what is to come.
I know I've been hand selected for this opportunity.
And I know this next family journey is an important story to share with as many people as possible, because it's just unbelievable enough to be true.
K's baby brother or sister, due December 2012.

This is so amazing! Your story is amazing. God chose you for all of this for a reason! It's your story of His glory, and He never writes it the way we would. Thank God! I'm so incredibly excited for you!
Wow, wow, WoW! Congrats!
Wonderful news!
Now you get to be a mother of TWO! How like God to surprise you and bless you immeasurably not once, but twice. :o) Praying for a healthy pregnancy and delivery, and for some amazing times together as you become a family of four.

Like many others have said... WOW!! God never ceases to amaze me... You get to be the mother of TWO!! And who knows? Maybe more will follow, either through adoption or conception. The possibilities are endless :) Congratulations!
Just stumbled onto your blog from Pinterest. First of all, congratulations! Second, thanks for being brave and sharing your life. I'm 37 and my husband and I are about to adopt an older child through the foster care system. We're just waiting on some final paperwork and a final walk through. We're excited and scared, but it helps knowing others have walked the path before us.
