VBS, baby, WHAT?

Many of you know that last June, during VBS (Vacation Bible School) we were pregnant for the first time ever! =) However, on Tuesday of that week Andrea had a blood test that confirmed our fears, we had miscarried. The baby was six weeks old. We were very excited to be pregnant & had told our parents the week before. But after this news, we sure didn't feel like making any phone calls. So, we mourned over the loss of our little one during the whole week of VBS. VBS is a very tiring week, but Andrea led worship just the same as she had on Monday, with every bit of joy and energy that you would expect her to. When Friday got here we were so happy to see all of the KIDS and parents come into the gym for the closing program. Some 500-650 people packed the gym to watch their little kids sing some silly songs on stage. For Andrea and I this wasn't as bitter sweet as you might think. If anything, it cemented our decision to begin a family. So, while the sadness of losing a child settled in, we were also overcome with the love of our church family and the certainty with which we had decided to begin our family.

So, what does VBS have to do with 3 Tanners? Well, the very fact that it's coming around again this year is just really exciting, because we got a BUN IN THE OVEN!

Of course we look forward to all the KIDS who will learn about Christ this week, but we also look forward to putting the week we dreaded so much last year behind us this year, and coming out on the other side with a PREGNANT MOMMY! =)




Someday we hope to get 3D pictures of our baby :) Hopefully it doesn't have to be labeled like this one... if you have to label it... hmm... anyway, this one is 28 weeks old :)
