Well, we just finally were able to get Mia's stone placed in the cemetery. I am pleased with how it looks. It's very sombering to be 26 years old and going to the cemetary to see your child. Thankfully, we know she isn't there.
And, ironically, we have some good news, we are PREGNANT AGAIN! This has been completely crazy. Mia was due March 24th and this one is due March 23rd! It's so unbelievable. Yesterday I went and had the ultrasound sound to confirm the pregnancy and we heard the heartbeat. This meant so much because at the last ultrasound, there was no heartbeat.
How am I? I am a total wreck. I want to jump up and down and be so excited because Seth and I have deeply desired this for so long but I am so afraid that something will go wrong. I find myself humming...I've got peace like a river almost constantly to keep me sane. I keep telling myself that the Lord wants good for us and to give us hope and a future {Jeremiah 29:11}. It's just a very emotional time.
Please keep us in your prayers as we pray for a positive outcome with this pregnancy.

Amanda,
You should know that you're not alone in anything you've been through. So many women have been there and have gone on to have perfectly healthy babies, and chances are you will, too. I think the best think you can do is try to relax, think positive thoughts and pray. Know everything will turn out alright for you if it's meant to be. God has a plan for everyone. My other word of advice is to be kind to the people who are there to help you and the baby. Everyone whose job it is to care for you, genuinely does care about you, whether you believe it or not.
Praise God! I was nervous too at first. When I found out I was pregnant after losing the first one, I ran right out and went shopping! I bought the cutest little duckie sleeper ever. My friends made comments like why are you telling people you are pregnant, keep the receipts in case you kow what happens again. It drove me crazy. I was praying daily, thanking and praising God for the pregnancy, that His will be done, and for a healthy baby. I had faith that all would be okay and it was. I can only imagine how nervous and anxious you must be, but try to relax as much as possible and enjoy the journey. Congratulations Amanda and Seth. - Mandy

Congrats to you and Seth! Praying for a healthy pregnancy and mommy! (daddy, too! :))
Amanda,
I am so happy for you and Seth. I was so excited to hear your joyous news. I wish you a healthy and easy pregnancy. Please let me know if there is anything i can do for you! God Bless Sweetheart!!!
Amanda,
It was great to see you at HVCC last week. I hope you feel as good as you look. Pregnancy agrees with you. Your faith in God and your strength will get you through this pregnancy and you will deliver a healthy baby. I believe that all things happen for a reason. I have seen this in my own life. I have been told that God will give you only what you can handle. Enjoy this pregnancy and keep in touch. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
