Carly is a big sister!!!

Well it has been a while since I have updated the page. We have had quite a bit going on. We recently found out that we are pregnant!!!! When I took the test I could hardly believe it!!! Any emotion that I felt as a mother was quadrupled!! I missed my Carly wishing that I had her in my arms, so that I could tell her she was going to be a big sister. Then I realized she already knew, she was the one getting him or her ready to come to our family. I miss her so much. The only thing that gives me any sense of comfort is knowing that because of the covenants Will and I have made in the temple, as long as we prove faithful, we will have her again.
When I first found out I was pregnant I had a lot of emotion. Guilt, joy, excitement, happiness, apprehensive. I realized what a blessing it is for us to have gotten pregnant with Carly and didn't understand what we had done in our lives to be blessed again. I guess that Heavenly Father really does love us and he knows how much joy we received having Carly.
I find myself thinking I wonder how much this baby will look like Carly. Will he or she have Carly's sweet and patient disposition? Will I be able to tell him or her about their big sister and do her justice?
So we are 16 weeks today and hope to find out soon if it is a boy or girl. We are hoping for a girl, but will not send a boy back!!!!!! We feel extremely blessed to have the opportunity.
