It’s been decided. And it’s a good story. A few weeks ago, Sarah and I talked about names…we had quite a few that we were tossing around. I don’t know exactly why, but I’ve been dragging my feet a bit about settling on a name…I did it with Micah and Judah as well, but love […]
A Heartbeat and a Reality Check
[audio:http://www.pomomusings.com/wp-content/mp3/Heartbeat.mp3] Check it out. It’s our baby boy’s heartbeat. The louder sounds are him moving around, but you can definitely hear our baby boy’s heartbeat and our doctor’s approval of how it sounds! This isn’t the first time we’ve heard his heartbeat, but each time it sounds better and better. Each time we hear it, […]
Registering for Baby Stuff
Wow. Yesterday we went to Babies”R”Us and started our journey into the baby registry world. I knew we’d be overwhelmed, and we were. But thankfully we’ve received some really helpful emails from close friends about the stuff they loved, and Sarah is amazing at reading Amazon.com reviews and finding out all the details. We have […]
Bring It On!
A few nights ago I had a dream. It was the first “baby dream” I’ve had, and…well, it was a little scary. In the dream, the baby was crying, Sarah was saying, “It’s YOUR turn. GO get him” and I was walking over to the crib, picking him up, and just holding him, staring into […]
It’s Going to be a Boy
We just got back from an ultrasound – and everything is looking good! The best part is seeing the heart beat and the baby moving around and knowing that everything is okay. As you can see from the photo above…we are definitely going to be having a baby boy come January! Seems like there is […]
The Sound of Sheer Silence
Yesterday I preached a sermon at my church in which I talked about losing Micah & Judah, and the silence that I felt from God during that time. I don’t know if it will be encouraging to anyone else who may be going through the loss of children, but I wanted to share it here […]
It’s Different This Time
This morning I woke up and was going through my normal routine in bed: check email, check Twitter, check Facebook, read blogs, update iPhone Apps, check Twitter again and prepare to get out of bed. And then one of the Pregnancy Apps that I have on my phone sent a notification that we were now […]
Being Pregnant Again After Losing Children
We’ve had about thirteen weeks to be sitting with this idea of being pregnant after Micah & Judah…sometimes it feels similar to our first pregnancy. Sometimes it feels much different. I told someone we were pregnant a few weeks ago; I don’t remember where we were, but they asked, “So is this your first?” Again, […]
First Hurdle Passed
So I’ve been waiting to do a little bit of a redesign/update on this blog. But I wanted to wait until we passed that magical number of weeks: 12. I didn’t want to make changes to the site and then…have something happen. So I waited until 12 weeks. That’s what they tell you, right? Make […]
The Journey Begins Again
Today I want to share with you all that we are pregnant again. We just returned from our 12-week ultrasound; everything looks good and we are shooting for a January 9 due date. This is something that we’re definitely excited about, although it does carry with it a ton of emotions after losing our boys […]
