We're Having a BABY...

Our hearts are so FULL! We are overjoyed and extremely grateful to announce that Baby Garcia is coming September 2019!  A baby that we've HOPED, PRAYED, and CRIED for. 

It has been one heck of a whirlwind to get to this point.  Over the last few months, I have felt incredibly anxious, full of worry, and apprehensive.  It also has been full of SO MUCH HOPE. Each time we got to see our precious miracle dancing in my belly, I felt so much JOY. I cannot wait to fall even more in LOVE with this precious baby. 

After losing two precious miracles that we lost and loved with all our hearts, we find ourselves in this place of such joy.  The last few years have not been easy. Our marriage was tested, our faith tested, and our willingness to keep going despite the pain and grief was difficult. 

There is also a HUGE part of my heart that knows how sharing this news affects others. Especially those who have gone through or are going through miscarriage, loss, or infertility. Every birth announcement  following our miscarriages was a reminder of what I did not have.  It was a reminder of what I lost and longed for. There were many times it was hard to fight the feelings of anger and resentfulness. I know that nothing I say can take away the pain and sadness that you are feeling. I just want you to know that my heart is with you. You are not alone. I am always here to listen or chat. 

If you are in this season, I recommend reading Brene Brown's book Daring Greatly. She also has a great Netflix special. 

There is so much more to say about our journey, the past five months of pregnancy, and update you with where we are at now. Our path was not easy, and it is not something I wish on anyone. I plan to share more of our story in the coming weeks.  We are EXTREMELY GRATEFUL for this miracle.  

I will not cause pain without allowing something new to be born, says the lord.
