It’s a boy! (most likely)
Well it has been awhile since I last wrote a post here…I am not sure why. I guess the nervousness that I am feeling each day that keeps me from sharing what is going on in my world. To update you on things that have happened in the last month…my wife and I are now around 18 weeks along in our second pregnancy. We found out about a week ago that we are “most likely” having a boy. Of course I am excited about the prospect of having a son.
I wish that I could be overly excited like I was with Lukas, but I have been jaded by fact that sometimes things go wrong. Now my excitement is met with an equal and opposite force…fear. I know that we are doing everything that we know how to do to make things turn out for the best. But we thought we were doing that the first time and it doesn’t matter how much you do or how much you know…things can go wrong. I hate that I have this thought everyday. I wish I could blindly go about this process and plan, buy things, paint rooms, buy more things and pick out names the way new parents are supposed to…but I can’t. Those are the cards I have been dealt and I am playing them the best I can.
So I am not going to be a downer anymore. I AM excited…I AM happy that everything to this point is going well and Kami and I are expecting to have a healthy baby boy!
[fingers crossed, knocking on wood, searching for heads-up pennies, hoping, praying, {insert your good luck/wishes measure here}]
Still Seeing Green
Kami and I are still getting pics in and we love all of the support! There is still time to send us your pictures…we are accepting them through August 11, as that was the day one year ago when Lukas was born still. We have gotten quite a few pics but we are still short of our goal of 100. We will be donating $5 for each picture to either Faces of Loss or the March of Dimes in memory of our son.
Both of these organizations are wonderful. One helped us through our tragedy and the other is working to make babies stronger and help us understand and prevent baby loss.
Please email your pictures to kami@letter10pro.com
Thank you for helping us remember Lukas!
well this got interesting
So yesterday was a very interesting day for Kami and me. We had known for a week or so that Kami was pregnant and were both excited and nervous about our appointment for an ultrasound yesterday. This was to be the first ultrasound we had experienced since we lost Lukas and we were both prepared to be emotional when we saw the little heartbeat of our second child. Then a whole different kind of emotion hit us when to our surprise….there were TWO little heartbeats!
Yep…TWINS. Identical twins nonetheless. We could do nothing but laugh. We laughed and smiled for probably 15 minutes in that ultrasound room, we had the ultrasound tech laughing and that is all that we could do. We know that we are SUPER early in the pregnancy and we know all to well that things can go wrong. We have been open about what happened with Lukas and we are excited about this new adventure so we want to share with those that we know and love. And we will need all the good thoughts and prayers we can get!
So there it is…no more secrets from me…TWINS. Still can’t wrap my head around it but I guess I have a few months to figure out how.
PS…we will be listening and noting all offers for daycare and babysitting, starting NOW!
