Yes, that's right...Magnolia is going to be a BIG SISTER!!!


To my greatest surprise in life, I am pregnant!

While we are just now starting to get excited around here, it has been a rough couple of months. We are guarded and scared and hopeful all at the same time. We have been trying to get used to this surprise...the surprise that I actually got pregnant without any help and getting used to the idea of having a baby this way. We swore never again to a pregnancy. The human mind is amazingly adaptable and we are starting to adjust and switch gears and gain hope. Our past is a long one and sometimes too painful to talk about but I am slowly starting to share it on another blog that I created for this pregnancy. There you may come to understand our anxieties and fears. I am finding it very therapeutic to write on that blog so that's it's sole purpose right now. I'm hoping to witness a change in my state of mind through the next 27 weeks but I know it's going to be long road. Please come along if you'd like. :) Baby Steps
