"....Joy Cometh in the Morning" Psalm 30:5

Ian and I would like to inform you all that we are expecting again!! 
I am 12 weeks along right now! 


your baby's the size of a plum!
The average baby at 12 weeks is about 2.1 inches long and .49 ounces. 
Now that he/she's got pretty much all her parts, her main job is to keep on growing.

I will admit I was nervous ever since we found out.. seeing as my last pregnancy only went till 6 1/2 weeks.
But the Lord has taken care of us so far, I have not had any symptoms of there being a problem so we continue to pray for health and strength in the coming weeks and months. My only symptoms were morning sickness and I was very tired, but once 11 weeks hit, the sickness disappeared thankfully!
I have not visited a Doctor yet, so there still could be complications that we are not aware of but we trust that God still has everything under control and that it is all to His honor and glory.



your baby at 12 weeks
  • Most of her critical systems are fully formed!
  • She's about to enter the growth and maturation stage, in which her organs and tissues will grow and develop rapidly.
  • She's now developing her reflexes -- if you poke her body, she'll likely move.
  • She's opening and closing her fingers and curling her toes, too.
  • Her brain is developing fast!
Amazing what all they can tell you at this stage (just from googling it on the web)
As we continue week to week trusting that the Lord has everything in control and that His ways are perfect, we covet your prayers for strength and peace for what ever is in store for us.
It is not easy knowing that anything can happen so quicly with out our control but we know the Lord will carry us through anything He places in our pathway.

(P.S. we do not know the sex of the baby, so you all will have to wait till the delivery day for that!!)

Congratulations! So excited for you both :) I'm 21 weeks along with #3 and am quite nervous since the first 2 were both born prematurely and we're expecting this one to be early as well. Praying that everything will go smoothly the rest of your pregnancy!
