The Lakewood Jensens received a very big surprise for Christmas - we're PREGNANT!
It was a surprise because we weren't trying to get pregnant. Actually, we were pretty sure that we were done having babies. Considering it's been 8 years since Lauren joined our family, we had purged our home of all things "BABY." Right down to the step stool in the bathroom.
So we are starting fresh and it feels exciting and a bit scary; especially, in the beginning of the pregnancy when we weren't sure how the whole "cancer thing" would affect the health of the baby. Also, my age is a factor - so much so that I am seeing a high risk doctor, called a Perinatologist. We are currently 22 weeks along (about 5 months) and the baby looks very healthy and all the tests are negative for birth defects. Also, we know it's a boy! The due date is August 31st. Yes, I know - ONE HOT SUMMER!
Please keep us in your prayers as we continue this journey - we so treasure the support our friends, family and community have given us.
Blessings and love,
amy, jeff, ben and lauren (and baby boy, yet to be named)
