Prayers, babies, and lots of LOVE

So my baby is officially one year old.
He's always going to be my baby.
He's so stinking sweet that I could really just eat him up!
We had so much fun at his birthday party and enjoyed celebrating his first year!

He's taught us so much in his first year.
He's taught us that a clean house doesn't make a happy home.
The family that loves one another in your home makes it a happy home.
He's taught us that patience is a learned virtue.
I now know that sleep deprivation is totally worth it when it comes to a newborn baby needing to be nursed :)
Oh, how I miss those days when he was so tiny.
He's learning more and more every single day.
It's amazing to watch him grow and learn!

He's also taught us that we want a large family.
With lots of kids.
We knew this already, before we married, but he makes it more obvious to us now.
He's so easy to love.

This gets me to the real point of this blog.
As many of you know, we were expecting a baby in Feb 2013.
We unfortunately lost that baby.
We are looking forward with hope to meeting that sweet baby one day in Heaven.

We also are looking for prayers right now.
We found out last week that we are expecting again.
This time to be due in late May.
Needless to say with this miscarriage having happened so recently, I am extremely nervous.
I have been more nervous since I found out then I have been in my life.
I have been sick, and extremely ILL.
My hormones have been insane for the past 2 1/2 weeks... (That's the first sign I had I might be pregnant)

My hormones haven't actually leveled out and I haven't been myself really since before, when I was pregnant in June.
I went to the doctor yesterday for them to check my hormone levels.
I'm anxious to hear back the results.

We are asking for prayers.
For this baby, and for us.
We have been on edge with worry hoping that everything with this pregnancy will work out.
Sadly, my hopes have not been too high.

We initially said we weren't going to tell anyone that we were expecting until we had a good result from an ultrasound.
My husband and I both felt that if something were to not end well, we would want the love and support from our family and friends.
We can't get that if you don't know what's going on with us.

We are asking for your prayers that the Lord's will be done in this pregnancy.
And that whatever his will is, we will have the strength to accept it.
We are thankful for every child God has/will give us.
Even if we never get the chance to hold them in our arms.
They will always be in our hearts.

** UPDATE**
We got the results back from the first blood work, and they said everything looks good on that!
We have an ultrasound set up for October 11th.
10/11/12 at 11:00 :) Hopefully that is good luck,
Because this Mama needs some good news! :)
