Blessed!

See those lines at the bottom? I was not expecting to hear/see that today because it is still so early, but baby has a heartbeat!!! I couldn't contain the tears. I am so grateful. I have longed to hear that for oh so long. We are still not in the safe zone by any means, but my doctor said that in our case seeing the heartbeat today probably cuts my risk of miscarriage in half! I can feel your prayers and am so grateful for the love and support. I am embracing the nausea. Never thought I would be so happy to feel sick, but at this point I say BRING IT!

My dearest Princess,

I have bugged Father in Heaven for so long pleading with Him to grant the prayer of your heart to give Caleb a baby to raise. No one can fully understand your journey that ministers to your little mother's heart. It is so difficult to understand life's lessons when you have such a righteous desire and the answer to your prayers has been not yet. Oh how that brings suffering like unto the Son of God that even He begged that he would not have to learn what ultimate sacrifice was.But then those life changing words we all must utter "Thy will be done not mine". But like you my little princess the Savior has paid such a price that the love He has for you is limitless. Oh how your baby will be loved by his fully invested mother. I love how you've been willing to put aside the fear, sadness, longing, heartbreak to go back to your personal Gethsemane to claim your Child. You now have a glimpse of what the Savior is willing to do for you by putting all his personal desires aside to do the will of the Father, gladly. You my princess are fast becoming a Queen. I love you always, Pap
