Dear Jacqui,

So relieved for you!  Here is my fav verse for these first few weeks of pregnancy, when you feel like crap, but that's about it...

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.  - Heb 11:1
I realize that I may be stretching the context slightly (or not...) but I have it written on a frame that I have put each of my babes ultrasound pics in.  It encourages me... having faith & trusting God that there is indeed a babe in there even though there is nothing (yet) for me to physically see and trusting him or her to His care.


13 For you created my inmost being;
   you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
   your works are wonderful,
   I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
   when I was made in the secret place,
   when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
   all the days ordained for me were written in your book
   before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts,[a] God!
   How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,
   they would outnumber the grains of sand—
   when I awake, I am still with you. 


- Psalm 139:13-18... but for fun, go read the whole thing :)

Praying for happy & healthy months are ahead for our little ones... (Far apart, yet destined to be "besties")

Love, Jen

P.S.  MASEN & ZACH SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.P.S.  I'm thinking these two will be about 4 weeks apart... My super-competitive nature thinks we will need a "baby pool" closer too...

P.P.P.S.  Avoid "Dr. Google" at ALL costs!  He'll make you crazy!

I would SCREAM with excitement for your sleep-filled night, but then I would wake MY sleeping children.

YAY!!!!!!!

ps. The Hebrews verse: not stretching at all! I actually thought how perfectly fitting it was--and how I had never thought of "faith" in the context of baby making. It IS uplifting!
