Our husbands also met each other last weekend at the men's retreat. Your blog has been a blessing to me and also my sisters. I just wanted to let you know that we are so thrilled that you are expecting, and that we are praying for you and Spencer and baby Elliana. <br /><br />Wishing you a blessed Thanksgiving!<br /><br />Joannie ChinJoanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03663417749109181390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-178657934065016194.post-81515457012882679482009-11-19T21:55:56.591-05:002009-11-19T21:55:56.591-05:00I can relate to so many of these questions and ans...I can relate to so many of these questions and answers.<br />I too lost my firstborn, a son.

She was born just this summer after 3 years of infertility, hence "God has answered". We didn't know if we were having a boy or a girl and had several names ready for both genders. When we met our Eliana it was so clear that was her name. She is the hugest blessing we can imagine. We call her both Eliana and Ellie and interchange them naturally as inspiration strikes. I am so excited to share this little coincidence with you! <br />So much love and many blessings to you as your journey continues.<br />Love, DanaDananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-178657934065016194.post-30239344577040669302009-11-16T14:45:53.352-05:002009-11-16T14:45:53.352-05:00I love the name!

...Great questions, and of course great answers too!<br /><br />Eliana is a gorgeous name! If you want her full name to stick, just continue to call her that name. When my daughter Juliana was born, we were told she would be called "Julie", "Jules", etc. Some people tried, but for 8 years, Juliana has stuck without effort. <br /><br />Can't wait to hear more about your pregnancy as it progresses, and of course, her birth too.asplashofsunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13233116341478208473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-178657934065016194.post-72965442916599787622009-11-14T23:25:56.146-05:002009-11-14T23:25:56.146-05:00Thanks for sharing so openly with us...I can relat...Thanks for sharing so openly with us...I can relate to so many of your answers. <br /><br />And by the way, BEAUTIFUL name!

I struggle with this as I teach and really it doesn't get much easier, just maybe more manageable.<br /><br />Here is some advice that an older teacher/mother told me and I have always remembered it and passed it on...As a teacher you have the perfect job. If you stayed at home you would feel so guilty knowing that you could be making a nice salary, working 8ish months out of the year, and picking up your child by 3:00ish. It is a wonderful job for a mother...but now adays it is hard to make ends meet without two working parents. YOu will still be a great parent, do wonderful things with your child, and have a great scedule to stay at home some, while getting a biweekly check.<br /><br />Hang in there...I know it will be hard but I know the feeling where there aren't many other options.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-178657934065016194.post-76575339607139541992009-11-14T17:30:23.777-05:002009-11-14T17:30:23.777-05:00stacy, i am so excited as you prepare to welcome ...stacy, i am so excited as you prepare to welcome isaac's little sister into the world! i empathize with so many of the emotions you're going through- because i went through them, myself. i find that as much as blythe's birth has changed so much, i still miss and grieve for vivian and annemarie, which i know is totally normal. one thing that is for certain is that no one will ever replace isaac- he is and always will be your son- and his impact on the world is really great. he has touched so many people through his short life. (((hugs))) i have a hard time talking about vivian and annemarie in front of annika and blythe without really tearing up, so i find that i don't talk about them as often as i'd like- but i also know that it doesn't have to be "all at once." that can come and go, and be natural...<br /><br />sending you lots of hugs...<br />love,<br />Erika<br /><br />littletinyfootprints.blogspot.comErikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03863461381473308483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-178657934065016194.post-14827117516432531692009-11-14T17:27:44.077-05:002009-11-14T17:27:44.077-05:00Beautiful answers Staci.

I love the idea of showing her Isaac's picture. I know that is it not nearly the same but we do that with my daughter and my brother who passed away over 6 years ago. She is named after him and when we were walking down the hall and she pointed to his picture and said his name out loud for the first time I immediately started crying! She knows who he is and I tell her all the time what a special part of my life that he is. I know that you will do the same with Isaac and Eliana and she will know what a special boy Isaac is and how many lives have been touched by him and his mommy and daddy! The foundation sounds wonderful and I wish you all the best with it!Sonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14612376271533554603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-178657934065016194.post-58297945243669498622009-11-14T16:26:40.013-05:002009-11-14T16:26:40.013-05:00Stacy-

I am so impressed with how the Lord continues to work through you to help others. I know that you are trying to find ways to introduce your sweet boy to your sweet girl. A friend of mine made my children a custom board book at mycustomstory.com This may be something to look into. I will continue to pray for your ever growing family.<br />ChristyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
