Sharing some Feelings..

Let me start by saying I feel some what guilty over feeling so much happiness and hope in my life when so much tragedy has plagued the state. But I can not wipe the smile from my face and can’t help feeling immense contentment as our little baby grows within me.

Phil and I have always wanted more children, not only for us but we believed a sibling for Jack is the biggest gift we could possibly give him.
We know as adults the friends he makes in this life, will come, and some will go, but the friendships that we help develop among our children; will serve them for their whole lives, most likely long after we are gone from this earth. They will have each other to lean upon, to collaborate with, and to love.
So when I hear Jack talk with excitement and love about his unborn brother or sister it warms my heart.

As of this Sunday I am 15 weeks pregnant, the first twelve weeks were very long and not without fear this wonderful gift would be taken away.
The support of our close friends and family during my multiple hospital visits and all the positive energy sent our way was beautiful. They all seem as happy as Phil and I that we are going to be increasing the Australian population.

So here is the first of many photos that I hope to post of our little miracle.
