I want to start off by introducing myself and telling you a little bit about our story for those who do not know me. My name is Lee-Anne, and I just found out that I am expecting my 4th child. My husband and I have been married for 4 years, and we have 2 beautiful little girls Zoey(3) and Alayna(2). They are my whole world and I'm am so thankful for having them, I would not trade them for anything in this world. They are a handful and quiet energetic, especially Alayna who takes after her father. My 3rd child is the reason why I am writing this blog. That story was already written and played out many months ago, but if you have not heard it I will tell you.
September 9th, 2008 I found out I was expecting my 3rd child. I was ecstatic, but Trent....not so much. We both got to a point where we were happy and excitedly awaiting the arrival of our 3rd baby. We knew for sure that this was the boy that we had been praying for since we first found out that we were pregnant with my eldest daughter. We went to our rountine ultrasound at 17.5 weeks, and found out that something could be seriously wrong with our baby. We were then sent to a specialist, who diagnosed my son with Potter's Syndrome at 18 weeks gestation. We were told that we could either terminate the pregnancy or carry to term. We chose to carry to term...even though we were told that our sons condition was incompatible with life. That was by far the hardest thing I have ever been through... You can read the full story here.... http://isaacsstory.weebly.com/
I want to share with you the journey of this new life that I have growing inside me. This new gift from God.....I will go back a few months to when I first realized that I WANTED and NEEDED to try again for another baby, even after suffering the loss of my son. I will tell you about the many months between now and then, about the pain and suffering that came with TTC after a loss. I will tell you about the month we did conceive, and about when I found out....and the days following. Then you can follow along as I travel along on this new journey with this new life that was created inside of me.......
