What I Haven’t Told You

By Moriah on May 11th, 2009

is that I am 14 weeks pregnant.

Ever since my dear, sweet cousin lost her precious twins a little over a month ago (which I mentioned vaguely), I’ve struggled and struggled with telling anyone our news; I just didn’t have the heart or the words. 

I still don’t.

But I also know that it would be really awkward one day to start talking about a new baby right out of the (hopefully clear) blue sky. 

(And I’m also too vain to want you to have to wonder if I’ve just eaten one too many hamburgers at every meal for the last several weeks.  Which may or may not be the case anyway.)

So as you rejoice with us, please continue to lift my cousin and her hubby up in prayer.

And PS – Today is our 7th anniversary!

    Delighted for you. Hope you are past the worst of the hurliness.

    Congratulations! We are excited for you guys and heartaches like theirs are always reminders of how precious these little ones are to us. We’ll keep praying.

    Yay! How exciting! Praying for you, your baby and your cousin.

    Well, so much for my life following yours…=) (Well, I guess it still could…) Congrats on your newest addition!

    Ok, you know I’m saying boy. I did have a dream and all.
    Happy seven years!!

  7. Mindy Haywood on May 11, 2009 9:39 am

    Congratulations!….but we already knew. Stephen can normally tell when women are pregnant even early on. He knew before I did that I was pregg. He told me awhile back that you were. Don’t ask how he can tell, I personally would rather not know what it is he observes about all the women around him!!! ;)

    Yay! Another cute little [name deleted]!

    Happy Anniversary!

    And CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!

    I’m really, really happy for you, and I also prayed for your cousin (and others) yesterday. My heart is always heavy on Mother’s Day for women that it’s a difficult day to endure.

  9. Mary @ Giving Up on Perfect on May 11, 2009 9:55 am

    Congratulations!! :)

  10. Debbie on May 11, 2009 10:29 am

    Congratulations on both accounts! I understand your struggle. My girlfriend lost a baby just as I was preparing to share our happy news. I struggled just as you have been with telling anyone.

    I wish you an easy pregnancy with no complications and I wish your cousin peace and comfort.

  11. Heather on May 11, 2009 10:37 am

    YAY! Congratulations!

  12. Stephy on May 11, 2009 10:50 am

    Wow~Congratulations on both your anniversary AND your great news! I knew you looked different when I ran into you the other day! I hope you’re feeling well! I guess this means house-shopping…there’s one for sale on my street!!!

  13. Karen Monahan on May 11, 2009 11:32 am

    So happy for you Moriah!

  14. Mary Hand on May 11, 2009 11:42 am

    Congrats Moriah!!! May God bless you and this little one! Thanks for your congrats also!

  15. EmilyV on May 11, 2009 11:45 am

    Congrats! I’m amazed you managed to conceal it that long. I am almost 10 weeks, and I am HUGE already. Congrats on your anniversary, too.

  16. Kate Getchell on May 11, 2009 11:53 am

    Congratulations Moriah!!!!

  17. Amy McLellan on May 11, 2009 12:12 pm

    Congratulations!! SO HAPPY FOR YOU! I’m starting to the baby bug again too! =)

  18. Erika on May 11, 2009 12:47 pm

    The day I found out about Bry I cried the whole day, I totally understand not knowing what to say. However, I am very excited for you! Maybe it’ll be another boy for Drew so he can have a friend later on besides Max. :)
    And tell Nicky this doesn’t mean she has to have another one so fast, I don’t know her 3rd yet, she can’t keep doing it to me.

  19. Brie on May 11, 2009 1:50 pm

    How exciting!! I’m hoping for a brother for Drew. Congrats on your anniversary too…that also means 7 years out of college…where has the time gone?

  20. Janelle on May 11, 2009 2:23 pm

    Congratulations Moriah!! What happy news. My heart has been heavy for Bryonie ever since I heard. Hope the sickness/tiredness is over for you!

  21. Michelle on May 11, 2009 2:45 pm

    Congrats, on your baby news Moriah and Andy!!!! What a blessing. And I would totally eat that extra hamburger (I am, still, as Henry “needs” extra fattening milk).

    And a very Happy Anniversary. David and my anniversary is later this month, as well. 11 years!

    And your cousin, Bryonie and her husband are still in my prayers.

  22. Pam on May 11, 2009 3:10 pm

    Congratulations on the baby & anniversary! How exciting!

  23. Meagan Dennison on May 11, 2009 3:42 pm

    Hmmm…seems like just a few weeks ago that I said it was time for you to have another…interesting…:-)

  24. Meagan Dennison on May 11, 2009 3:43 pm

    oh, and congrats, by the way!

  25. mary kathryn on May 11, 2009 5:03 pm

    I had to scroll quite a way to get to a comment box! Many, many congratulations!

    Seven years. Four babies. You know, at this rate you could have about 15 kids…. just joking!

    You MUST post about what the children think about this!

  26. Mama Bub on May 11, 2009 5:27 pm

    Delurking to say Congratulations! And Congratulations!

  27. T with Honey on May 11, 2009 5:33 pm

    Congratulations!! I hope the first trimester treated you well and that you get to ride the wave of energy that seems to be the second trimester any day now – if you aren’t already.

    And when do the baby bump pictures start to show up on the blog? We, at least I love baby bump pictures!!

  28. Kristin on May 11, 2009 8:09 pm

    Congrats on the baby and the anniversary! Tomorrow is our 8th anniversary, but we’re not quite keeping up with you in the kid department. Yesterday being mother’s day I had a hard time, struggling to be happy when I knew it would be a sad day for so many other moms. It was good to see you briefly yesterday. You so do not look 14 weeks pregnant!

  29. Jackie@Our Moments, Our Memories on May 11, 2009 9:19 pm

    Moriah! So much to celebrate – a huge congrats AND happy anniversary! I hope you are feeling well. What have the kids said about it???
