Wow! We are all still in shock, but so so excited. The pregnancy was planned, but we never expected to conceive so quickly. We have been discussing the possibility of having more kids for some time. The possibility of having another sick child has been very overwhelming and weighing heavily on our hearts. We have prayed through all the possibilities (adoption, IVF, etc...) and Scott and I both felt God's plan for our family was to conceive another child. Going through this process was not easy, but last month Scott and I both felt it was time to start trying. The timing was obviously perfect because almost immediately I became pregnant!
We are all very happy and already eagerly anticipating the arrival of our little one. We are holding tight to Jesus and believing that He will prepare us for what is to come. We know there is 25% chance that the baby will have the same disease Lilly had. We are not naieve nor do we pretend these odds do not exist. However, we believe God is ultimately in control and we will trust in His plan for our lives and that of our unborn child.
Please join in celebrating and praying for this precious new life.

Oh man I absolutely still in shock. I am so excited for you guys. It looks like you won't have to go to the baby store and get a new baby after all (words of Liberty) I am so proud of your faith. I have to say that I am a little disapointed that we aren't going to be albe to be pregnant together this time like always. In the same aspect I am glad that I'll be albe to send the little tike home when we are done having fun. I love you guys. I will continue to pray for all of you every day

ReplyDeleteI'm from the group on the Faith board and Highland's prayer group that has kept your family in prayer since almost from the first CarePage entry.
What glorious news. It will be wonderful and a blessing to join you, follow along on your journey these next months. Liberty - well I just can't imagine what words will pop out of her creative mind1 lol
Amy/Scott/Liberty - I praise our LORD and give Him loving thanks for this new blessing for your family. May His strong arm be around you all, protecting and developing this new child of the Haas family!
In His love, grace and mercy
