We did it!!!

[Kazamataz]

Finally! After almost two years of trying we're finally pregnant! We just found out last week. I'm six and a half weeks along. We're so thrilled. It happened at the most perfect time and everything. As our pastor said, "God opens wombs and closes them, all a part of His plan." Please pray for us, for a healthy pregnancy and delivery. The baby's due on December 10th! Thanks so much.

Congrats! Will be praying for you :0)

Keep remembering that.... it will carry you through. My little sister had my niece when she was 17 and the father left during pregnancy! It took her a very long time to figure out what God's plan for her was, but Cassie (niece) is such a blessing to everyone. I think God has a bright future for your little bundle as well for you guys. And also remember.... even as ready as most people think they are... you're never really "ready." Meaning it's always a surprise at the changes that occur. Love and blessings.

Thanks! I can also look at my life. I wasn't planned, and the daddy left while my mom was preggo. I grew up having a single mother... and that was tough as she was into drugs, drinking, sex, the whole works... and then I found God and became a Christian at 17. And life was pretty good... ended up finding my dad without even looking, as he has been an alchoholic since day 1 and going to a soup kitchen at the church I attended and volunteered at... he doesn't know I am his daughter, and of course a DNA would have to be done if he ever found out and wanted to do so, but everything he has told a friend of mine and what my mom has told me... match up! It's cool. ANYWAY, so I know God has a plan for my baby as He totally did, and still does, for me. I'm finding it hard lately with all the thoughts... thinking back on my childhood... I thought it went by so fast, but when I look back now, it took forever... 18 years (and more, cuz I'll never stop being a mom) is a LONG time, lol.

Absolutely! There's a wonderful song by Superchick called Beauty from Pain. I think that's what God does in almost everyone's lives... gives us some harsh experiences to learn valuable lessons from. Just think about everything you've learned from your parents indirectly: what not to do. You'll be fine. Just keep God in center stage and be blown away by the miracles He can perform. Love and blessings.
