3 Times a Charm!!

Well, finally. After almost 2 years and 2 miscarriages, we are FINALLY pregnant with a positive outlook! I am 15 weeks along, successfully off the hormones, and just grateful to Heavenly Father for letting us get this far. Obviously, I'm always worried in the back of my mind that something might happen, but at this point I'm in my second trimester and I can give myself a little room for excitement and happiness.

This pregnancy has not been without it's scares. At about 5 1/2 weeks we thought we were losing it again, but after three more weeks of blood tests, ultrasounds, and serious R&R, our doctor said we were probably in the clear. Now at 15 weeks, I feel like we've gotten through all the scary 1st trimester stuff. Finger's crossed that it is the case.

Next week we are going to find out the sex and we are soooo excited!! I hope our little peanut cooperates and bear's all!
