Another chapter...

I started this blog after college as a way to keep up with friends and see their cute kids. It has become a journal of the different chapters of my life such as my move to Georgia, my marriage to Brandon, my journey through infertility/miscarriages and such. In recent months it has become more of a journal/help tool for those going through adoption. It is with you in mind that I am careful the way that I write this entry.

I have been writing this blog post for a while now and trying to find the right words. Although there is some thought behind this post I doubt I will be able to convey the true emotions that this chapter brings.

Back in October, Brandon and I decided to expand our family through adoption. We began to research and start the mounds of paper work that adoption involves. We made it to our first interview and had a great meeting with a phenomenal agency.

Two days later I began to get sick, felt super tired and just felt like something was wrong. Sure enough, after taking a pregnancy test, Brandon and I found out that I was pregnant. (Catch that Jennifer?)

Although we were excited, fear began to creep in and I just felt like it was the beginning of another end. Day after day things continued to go well and though there have been some scared and bumps in the road, it looks like the baby is doing well.

We are currently 15 weeks and have seen the baby during a few ultrasounds to make sure everything continues to be ok.

Brandon and I decided to go through with our home study to have it on file but have not gone past that stage. Our home study stays good for a year. We are still planning on adopting but felt like this pregnancy needed my full attention at the time.

We still have a heart for adoption and still believe it will be a part of our future.

I know this is hard for some people to read who have followed this blog because of their similar paths to ours. Please know that I am still well aware of your struggles and pray that your heartache comes to and end soon.

Please continue to keep us and the baby in your prayers. We are hopeful that in July we will be holding our sweet baby. We can't wait to add another Peevy to our pod.
