When A No Becomes A Yes
We are so shocked and humbled. Blessed and blown away. Confused and bewildered, Surprised and in awe.
The thing that we(and you!) have been praying and petitioning for, for years and years and years, has suddenly happened.
Our no has become a yes.
“When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dreamed. Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.” The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy….those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy. Those who go out weeping, will return with songs of joy.”
I'm crying over here, the happiest tears!!!! Congrats!!!!!
oh CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! Praise the Lord!
Oh my goodness gracious! God is soooo good! Congratulations!!

When I found out, I literally screamed. I don't tend to get very excited about babies/pregnancy announcements but this, this is and was different. So beyond happy, thrilled and overjoyed for you guys. I have been diligently praying for you and my best friend Sarah who also has secondary infertility issues. For this child, so many have prayed. Great big hugs to you guys.

Ever since I started following along whenever I read a post from you I would say a little prayer for this! I saw something on Instagram, and didn't understand it because I had not read this yet!
I know for me even though your journey has been hard, it has been an encouragement.
We got pregnant so quickly the first and second time (we lost our first), but this time it has not been like that. In my mind I was "supposed" to be pregnant a whole ago. But I am having to let that go. The no may become a yes like you and it may not, and that is okay too.
Thank you for the encouragement today and congrats (and sorry for the really deep comment today :))
Oh Courtney, Congrats!! I am so happy for y'all. Sometimes God's answer is wait, but he always has a plan. I can't wait to check out Monday's post. I know your sweet little family is so happy.
Overjoyed for you! God is good!
I could NOT be happier for you!!!! So glad God decided your answer was, "wait" and not "no". Can't wait to hear your story and see how things are going this time around. OMG abby is going to be the BEST big sister. Singing a joyful song for you today, girl. What a huge answer to prayer!
off my chair. I AM SO SO SO SO THRILLED FOR YOUUUU!!! this is absolutely amazing news mama! i am dying to read more! God is so good!
OH! and i hope you are feeling well!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! So over-the-moon-thrilled for your family!!
Praise the Lord!!!! I am sooooo happy for you and your family!! Congrats!!
