We’re expecting 👶🏼 boy Simpson this winter and could not be more thankful or overjoyed!!! We simply cannot wait to meet him!⠀
•⠀
After 12 months of trying, praying, hoping, crying (me) and waiting we were shocked to wake up to a positive a few months ago. It’s been quite the journey for me over the past year to process all of this, but I’m so thankful for Lord’s mercy which is new each morning. He is patient and steadfast as I am learning to trust him and His perfect plan. ⠀

I know there are so many couples who have walked and are walking the road we did (perhaps for even longer and/or through the heartbreak of miscarriage). Throughout the last year these announcement posts were always hard for me to see. I desired to be able to rejoice with my friends, yet struggled as I grieved and wrestled with what the Lord had written for Tim and I. For that reason, I didn’t know if we should even announce this pregnancy at first (hence the late announcement ). But the more I’ve thought about it I think it is good and right to both rejoice in the good and cry through the sorrows. ⠀

I also really wanted to say, that if you are walking through the same journey we did, please know that I am here if you want to talk or need a listening ear. Or if you simply want to have someone else on your team praying, please reach out. Some of the biggest blessings last year were conversations I had with women who had walked the same path!
