Life is full of curve balls. One minute you think everything is going as planned and the next you are walking down a completely different path. This last little bit has been a huge growing experience for Spencer and I. Our testimonies of our Savior and Redeemer Jesus Christ and his plan have matured dramatically. Life truly is a test and our success is not measured by how hard we fall rather how high we pick ourselves back up. What a blessing it is to know what we know. I can't imagine not having the knowledge that I do of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. IT IS TRUE! The knowledge that Spencer and I both have has helped us get through what we have had to go through. How grateful I am!
As promised, although we will struggle in life we will be blessed beyond measure. Miraculously after we miscarried we got pregnant again right away. Heavenly Father works in mysterious ways and I am so grateful that Spencer and I had the courage to take this journey again. I won't lie though, at first I didn't want to get pregnant again. I didn't want to have to go through what we went through the first time but I knew my primary purpose in this life is to be mother. Quickly our fear was replaced by faith and we picked ourselves up and tried again. All it took was one round of clomid and we were instantly expecting. What a blessing! The Lord knows me so well and knew that for some reason 3 months had made a difference. All though I don't understand why (and maybe I never will until the next life) this baby was supposed to come 3 months later I know the Lord has a reason behind it.
Words cannot describe how blessed we feel. This pregnancy has been completely different. Don't get me wrong I have been constantly nauseous, tired, and low on energy but every second has been work it. Last time I was so nervous but this time I feel at peace and know that the Lord's will will be done.
Everything has gone perfectly so far. We are now 15 weeks along and from what the doctor can tell we have a completely healthy baby. We even get to find out the sex of our baby next month. Time is really just flying by. People ask me all the time is I want a boy or a girl. Every time I say all I want is a healthy baby. Working where I work I see a lot of sad and scary things. Although it does give me some anxiety about what can happen I think in the end it will just make me that much more grateful to have a healthy and strong baby. I honestly wouldn't even care if we had all boys or all girls. I will take whatever I can get.
Life is good! We have had so much fun lately with all that has been going on. With my cute sister being on the Murray High School cheer squad we were able to attend a lot of football games this fall. It has been so fun to spend time with my family.
We also had a really fun Halloween party with our good group of friends from high school. I know I don't say it enough but I am so grateful to have such great friends. We have so much fun together and I know that we will be friends for years to come.
