The Gift of Life

Today I am struck with ho w thegift of life is such a blessing!  Three years ago now, I was pregnant with Mr. Nicoda and on the top of the world -- not fully realizing what a blessing I was carrying inside of me.  Then when Nicoda died, I felt so alone and didn't know anyone (close to me) that had experienced such a loss.  But now I can look back and forward and see so many people who have been given the joy and trial of loving a child that goes to heaven too early.  Being pregnant right now makes me ache alot of Nicoda -- but it reminds that God can make all things new.  So I praise Him for His wonderful plan...I praise him for Nicoda, Malekah and Brenden, Gracie, Holden, Maggie, Faith, Chase, Levi, Opal, Thomas -- babies I know are in heaven living it up.  And I praise him for Chloe, Kaleah, Jeremiah, Lily, Piper, Olivia, Nora, Aiden, Cora, Logan and SOOO many more babies that we get to enjoy here on Earth.  Praise God for the gift of life! 

Cupcake at 11 Weeks!

We got a good report at the sono appointment...growing steadily and no concerns yet!  Cupcake was just kicked back and relaxing during the ultrasound -- legs up and feet crossed -- so cute!  Would love prayers that this continues and (that minus the morning sickness) I have a nice, boring 40 week pregnancy.  :)
