Introducing...

Our tiny gingerbread baby soaring through the final frontier:


This little one is due at the very end of January...six days before Ellis' third birthday. We are hoping and praying that he/she gets to stay in until the due date! Seeing/hearing the strong heartbeat at our first appointment a couple of weeks ago did a lot to put our minds at ease and also helped us to be excited! After miscarrying a few months ago it was difficult for me to allow myself to believe I was really pregnant. I know those of you who have been pregnant after a miscarriage can relate.

Ten weeks tomorrow. We are planning on finding out the sex when we can in a couple of months. Up until yesterday I thought it was a girl, now I'm having some feelings that perhaps I'm wrong.

YYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

I love the gingerbread stage!

I was coming over here to leave my email so you'd email me and answer a question I had... pipsersmom@gmail.com and found this great surprise!

You'll be happy to know that 6 to 8 weeks is prime miscarrying time, 90% of miscarriages happen then. It is HARD to be cautiously excited, and I've had to force myself to be that way over and over again.

Even now, I just want her OUT...37 weeks in a couple of days and waiting until 39 is going to feel like torture!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!! Now email me so I can ask you my question!
