For those who don’t know, Sean and I lost our son last November in a 38 week still birth.  It was completely unexpected and life went reeling.  We’ve been in a holding pattern ever since, waiting for the go ahead to begin again.  Well, I’m happy to report that life is finally moving forward again and I am 12 weeks pregnant!  Of course we’re taking things a day at a time but we’re so excited to just be moving again and we’re hoping for the best for this time around.  Your thoughts and prayers for the safety and health of our baby are so appreciated and we thank you all in advance!

We would love it if you would celebrate new life with us by giving us your best gender guess in the comment section below! =)  For every person who guesses, we’ll be donating $1 to the March of Dimes foundation, whose purpose is to end premature birth, birth defects, and infant mortality through research and education. ALSO, we’ll have a drawing from the winning guesses for a $10 iTunes gift card as well, so be sure to leave your name/email address so we can get that to you =)

Last time, we had over 200 guesses–let’s try and beat that this time around!

And because every post is better with a picture, here’s our new little peanut at 7 weeks. =)

    I teared up reading this – and though I don’t know you all personally, I know how tough it must have been to go through that – what a blessing to have a second chance at meeting your new baby….girl. :-)

  56. KariAnne on August 20, 2009 at 8:54 am

    Fantastic news! I’m thinking girl.

    I love that you are donating! I would have an older sister but she went to be an angel of God at 3 weeks old. My best friend once told me that I’ve been blessed in life because I had her as my guardian angel all this time. I love knowing she’s still here and holding my hand, as your new baby grows and begins life it will too have your son holding his/her hand.

    Blessings to you all!

  57. Heather Newcomer on August 20, 2009 at 8:58 am

She had 3 healthy sons after her devastating trauma. She also suggested that you consider inducing a bit early until the doctor’s figure out what happened the first time. Hugs and Blessing to you all. Mac and Linda

That worked for her 3 times. Hugs and Blessings to you all. Mac and Linda

  165. amelialyon on November 3, 2009 at 3:15 pm

    Okay, So I know I’m a couple of months late on this one, but for some reason you guys popped in my head today and I was wondering how you two were doing and if you had gotten pregnant again. I am SO GLAD to see that you have another little one on the way, that is so amazing and I admire you both for enduring the trial that was set before you. I know we don’t really know you guys very well (just via twitter and WPPI), but I would love to get to know you two more! Wishing you both the best of luck and sending prayers your way for the health and safety of this little “girl” (that’s my guess).
