The Barra's are having a baby :)

Our journey to meeting you continues....The Barra's are pregnant :)  I can't believe I just typed those words knowing that people will read them...it seems so surreal!  Baby Barra is due to arrive at the end of July.

This has been such a long journey, and I am so excited for the months ahead, but the fear is still there.  My craziness has gotten much better in the last few weeks, but I still worry that something will go wrong and we will have to tell the world that once again things didn't work out.  I know this time is different...I feel it in my heart. I pray every night for the strength to accept God's will, and I know this is when my faith needs to be the strongest, but it is still hard to trust that everything will be OK.

I counted the other day and Josh and I had been trying to conceive for 50 months when we got pregnant...that is a long time in Lisa time :) Believe me, there were plenty of days when I had no hope, so I hope our struggles will give someone hope that it can still happen. The last 4 years have been long, but now I can see why the lessons we learned were necessary.

We are excited and we ask for continued prayers from all of our family and friends on this journey.  I can't wait to see your face and hold you!
