In God's Hands

I keep reminding myself that God's plans are ALWAYS better than my plans.  

Here was my plan: Finally make forward progress on losing weight.  I was really planning on losing close to 10 lbs per month until I got to 240 or 250.  Then we could finally start trying for another baby around August or September. 

God's plan:  Pregnant now!  We found out yesterday we are pregnant.  From my own research my due date is September 23rd.

We have known from the start, our family was not complete yet and we have both been longing to grow our family.  However, I had such problems with my pregnancy with Emily.  Being so overweight made me more susceptible to having difficulty.  I was really hoping by losing some of the weight before getting pregnant again, knowing it would diminish the likelihood of the same issues. 

Also, I have had a couple of miscarriages in the past.  Therefore, I do know there is a chance this could be the fate of this pregnancy as well.   I do not have any pregnancy symptoms - because it is soooo early in this pregnancy - but I feel like this pregnancy is different.  I feel like this baby is going to be part of our family.

So for the second time this week, I am putting everything in God's hands.  I am trusting that His plans are always better than my plans.  


Much Love,
Heather
