Hebrews 12:1 "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us."
I'm thankful for Susan in helping us make our many ethical decisions with IVF. (She's been through it SIX times!) I haven't even met Susan, but her part in our IVF process was very important.
I'm thankful that my sister Noel is doing well, as well as bedrest can go. I'm thankful that her pregnancy is before mine... I'm getting excited about these little buggers and it helps me to start thinking about mine.
I'm thankful for Pam who walked through the valley of infertility with great faith and is now pregnant. I'm thankful that she maintained this faith through great loss, that her faith is not based on circumstances.
I'm thankful for Beth as she quiets her mind and emotions about her pregnancy and waits for God. It helps me do the same.
I'm thankful for Renee and a host of other friends who have been honest with the ache of their pregnancy loss(es) but still fix their eyes on the Creator. God sees them.
I'm thankful for Jenni... for being brave after losing a precious little born baby and having two more after that.
I'm thankful that my doctor smiled about our pregnancy for the very first time yesterday and said some very encouraging things. He seems to have hope.
So will I.

What great joy it must bring you to have such caring and encouraging people in your life. Thank goodness for friends and fam!
Thanks for your kind words...I'm thankful that Kris connected us! Hebrews 12:1 and 2 are the verses Trevor just memorized last week. I explained it more to him about running a race. I never thought about it in this context. What an awesome way to look at it! Praying for you and baby! :-)
This is a great way to thank those around you. I love it when women get together like this!
Thank you, Emily, for such sweet words. I'm also SO thankful to hear that your sister is doing well. I have continued to pray for her and hope that things progress smoothly!
It's so amazing to see how God has given you so many women to come alongside you...ones that have in some way, experienced part of your journey.
This baby will be celebrated by SO many, Em. What a gift he/she is!
