I don't know how ready I really am about all this but about a week ago we found out we are expecting Jenna's little sibling. I am incredibly happy, overwhelmed at the endless possibilities, and scared to the Nth degree. I would like to share the good news, but will not be updating about the pregnancy on this blog. I have dedicated a whole new blog to my rainbow baby called "Letters to my Rainbow Baby".
Feel free to stop by, but I understand if you cannot read about pregnancy right now - completely. I will, of course, continue to write on Handprints from Heaven as I am still grieving my Jenna terribly. My pregnancy with this baby has only increased my hope in God, but it has not minimized the grief over losing Jenna. And I wouldn't have it any other way. It is my hope that someone can draw strength from what God has allowed in my life with Jenna and now the hope of our newest family member joining us. I am hoping solely on the mercy of God for this baby to have healthy lungs, a beautifully healthy heart and so much more.
The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
-Psalms 147:11

I am so very happy for you! I pray God's peace, grace, and mercy on you in this new season. I know you will understand that I won't follow your new blog - but please don't think that means I don't care ... I just don't want to do that to myself right now. I am praying for a day when I can read pregnancy blogs without hurting. For now - I am praising God on for your blessing! :)
