Monumental: Having a Baby!


Moments in life that are monumental:

2) Having a baby

Brett and I have been married now for over 8 years.  We love being married, every year is better than the last.  It has been hard at times, but even in the hard times I'd rather be with him.  We love our life! 

A few years ago we decided we were finally ready to expand our family.  There have been so many hiccups along the way...I won't go into detail... but for the last few years we hoped and prayed and tried.

Within this last year we had finally gotten to the point that we said, "we're ok if it's just us." We really do love our life.  But we decided that we should find out what was going on.  Why couldn't I get pregnant? At the end of the summer I made an appointment for myself. 

Shortly after I'd made the appointment we began to see signs. Three weeks after our anniversary, while we were on our anniversary trip, we began to suspect that I might be pregnant. We took a test: yes! We went to our family doctor: yes!! He moved up our appointment with the gynecologist: yes!!! We were expecting!

It's hard to explain the rush of emotions that overwhelmed us in that week...and since then.  It's hard to explain how hard it's been to keep this from everyone.  I am now 14 weeks pregnant, we are expecting baby Spangler in June 2014 and could not be more excited. 

To keep up with baby, momma and daddy come here!

Rex & I couldn't be any happier than if one of ours was pregnant! There is so much to pray for, but God's peace in everything is the first I pray for you both. Lots of changes to come! Love you! Bonnie Peckinpaugh
