How fortunate we are to say we're EXPECTING!

We are expecting ANOTHER BABY! Can you believe it?! We only plan on having two children, so by the time Zacary is 30 and I'm 25 our family will be complete and we will be left with only raising our children and making the best life for them we can.  We are very excited about this adventure that is to come. Baby Diamond is due to arrive February 2nd, 2016.  This pregnancy has gone very smooth so far. Very little morning sickness with extra fatigue, but what a small price to pay for such a large blessing.  We tried for about six months before we became pregnant the second time around. We feel incredibly fortunate that we were able to get pregnant without complications. After witnessing the pain and struggle my brother and sister in law have gone through while battling infertility has really put in to perspective how truly lucky we are to be able to conceive.  I know, without a doubt, their day is coming, but I have to admit it made my decision of having another baby a difficult one. I in no way had thought they would be upset or unhappy for us for expanding our family. To me, I just felt as if maybe I would be making their situation even more unfair, even harder, in a way, putting salt in the wound.  I know they will think I'm just crazy for feeling that way, but it's because I love them so incredibly much. I would hate to make their pain worse in anyway.  Telling them we were expecting was probably the most overwhelming thing I've ever had to tell a person.  I put it off for weeks and weeks. I wrote numerous letters, called and hung up several times, worked up the courage to tell them in person just to find the words could not escape my mouth.  When I finally told them, they took the news exceptionally well. A huge weight was lifted off my shoulders, but at the same time I still ached for them.  How unfair they have to deal with such an unfortunate disease while we so easily conceive children.  Why is it they have worked so hard for every single thing in their life, they are much more ahead in life than I feel like we are, but they are faced with this struggle?  It's so unfair.  However, I absolutely know with my entire heart they will get the chance to raise children here on Earth. I pray constantly they feel the sweet spirits of their angel babies near. I hope they keep a strong faith that their chance to expand their family is coming. I can only hope they know how amazing of parents they already are, and how much I admire them as parents  This is why Zac and I chose them as the God-parents to our children.  They are the two people in our lives we trust to raise our children if need be.  They have such a strong relationship and incredible will to keep going no matter what life throws at them.  They're definitely one of a kind.  They will never realize how much I look up to them.
I have learned so much from their infertility journey. One of the things I'm very most grateful for is not taking for granted how lucky we are to be able to conceive children.  I will never complain about the small uncomfortable times pregnancy tends to bring, the price of having a child, the weight gain or stretch marks, or any of the other small stresses preparing for a child brings because I know there are so many people in the world who would {and do} give so much more for the opportunity to have a child.  We are very fortunate, and I SO look forward to the day my brother and sister in law are able to share the news with us that I was so nervous to share with them.  What an extremely happy and emotional day that will be.
