I sit here on the day after Thanksgiving and think of what I am truly thankful for this year. Everyone always says family, friends and God. Yes, I am thankful for all of these things, but this year is unique.
In the past year, Jeremiah and I have been through a lot. We started last November off buying our house, our home. Then we found out that I was pregnant - November 17,2009 was the day actually. We were excited, scared and blissfully happy. We told everyone we knew, friends and family, the world. However, the excitement quickly ended December 10th. This was the day we found out that I was having a miscarriage, a blighted ovum. I had my D&C on December 15th, the day after my 26th birthday. What a way to end the year and start a new one.
We rocked along and decided to try again as soon as given the go ahead. I got pregnant again in April and what do you know, another blighted ovum and another D&C. At this point I fell into a deep depression and finally had to seek out help. I was so hurt, so confused and just pissed off. Why me? Unfortunately, this story is so common for so many people. How do so many women go through this over and over again? I just don't know.
A year later, I sit here feeling my son wiggle and kick. All I wanted was to be pregnant with our child. I just wanted to make a baby that would be ours to love, raise and watch grow. It appears that this is finally going to happen. I am exactly half way there, 20 weeks pregnant today, and nothing short of scared, excited and joyous. This is truly all I want for Christmas, our baby.
So, to sum it up. I am thankful for Jerry Michael Watts. I am thankful that God has planned for us to have a son. I am thankful to have a husband that will raise his son with love, respect and character. I am just so thankful for finally having this opportunity.

I am so thankful for your little boy, and cannot wait to meet him! You guys are going to be such wonderful parents. I am so glad that God has blessed you with this child after so much heartache. I love you!
