"Hey! We're going to have a baby!"

We're very excited to announce that another little one is joining the Meier family!

We shared with a few family members the week we found out, to ask for prayers as we began another pregnancy. After our 8 week visit we told the rest of the family and a few friends. And here we are in the middle of week 12, ready to share with the rest of the world. I asked Seth what I should say to announce that our baby is coming and he said "Hey! We're going to have a baby!" He's pretty excited about this kiddo joining our family.

Obviously we're a bit anxious and praying a lot. After losing Isaac and talking with other moms who have miscarried we've discovered, in a very personal way, how fragile life truly is. I know the feeling of mixed emotions that come with our announcement. The pain that pierces the heart, excited for my friend who is pregnant, but the sorrow of coming to the end of a pregnancy only with empty arms. I will always miss Isaac in our lives but I am so happy for the blessing God has given us.
