We need to know more details....how are you feeling? when are you due? was this a surprise? how did you tell the girls? etc, etc, etc!!!!!!
So excited for you! Many prayers too!
I have and continue to enjoy the way God is writing your life story. I am so excited for your family, for this season of pregnancy, and am praying God guides you through every moment of it and directs your family in the process of buying a house.
I'm thankful for you and how God has used you in my life, even though we have never and may never meet face to face. You bless so many people.
!!!
Was laying in bed early the other morning thanking Jesus for the little person He's knitting inside of you.
Really, even now, sitting here with this silly grin spread out all over, the happiness just spilling out in the deepest peace.
Thank you, Lord...
Wish I could cup your beautiful face and nod my happy, sappy, liquid JOY!
I pray... and SING... DANCE!
"I know nothing except what everyone knows -- if there when Grace dances, I should dance."
-- W. H. Auden
So we'll dance.
All's grace,

I've never even met you in real life. I've only followed your blog for almost two years now and I have to tell you that when I saw that picture I got goosebumps and my eyes welled up with tears of joy. Praying for you and so happy for you.
I read your tweet and I immediately knew what the "good" meant. I am so happy for you guys, you are in my prayers.

This scipture comes to mind:

Thanks for sharing with us! You have such beautiful babies, and you must be so thrilled to add another one into your family. Praying for you. xxx
I was trying to read this post at 4 p.m. and got torn away from the computer at the last line before the picture....now, 3 hours later I start re-reading the post and pick up on the DUE part this time and start screaming! can't believe I missed it earlier.
So happy for your family! You are a true inspiration to many of us! Will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Psalm 126
1. When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, *
then were we like those who dream.
2. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, *
and our tongue with shouts of joy.
3. Then they said among the nations, *
"The LORD has done great things for them."
4. The LORD has done great things for us, *
and we are glad indeed.
5. Restore our fortunes, O LORD, *
like the watercourses of the Negev.
6. Those who sowed with tears *
will reap with songs of joy.
7. Those who go out weeping, carrying the seed, *
will come again with joy, shouldering their sheaves.
Enjoy every minute!!!
I know that you probably get lots of emails and messages, I just had to add one more, I was "sent" to your site and as I read through the past year and all the blessings/grief that it beheld I was stricken with the same emotions as when I faced a very similar situation, (only I had a son who was born healthy and through a series of events became ill during the first week of his life,) and through lots of prayer, God's grace and strength and mercy can face the day he has given me. You too have been able to carry on through the "cross" you had to bear. I write all of this to say that I am too expecting, and I know what it feels like to learn that another miracle is on the way, and the bundle of emotions that overflow. (Also thinking about the what if's) I pray that you too will have a healthy and safe pregnancy with the end result being a healthy and beautiful baby that you and your husband and family can love and enjoy here on earth. I look forward to the updates and to hear of your baby's developments. Praise Him.
congrats to you and todd and the kids! i am so happy for you! and to be honest, i think many of us have been waiting for this day. it seemed inevitable! we will carry you in prayer as you walk this road. you all must be so excited and anxious. how far along are you? are you moving far? anyways...thank you for sharing your life with us! the ups and the downs and all the in between! it's all beautiful!
praying for you and rejoicing with you!
sincerely...

I have never commented before, have been reading and praying.
This is my first comment on your blog but I have been reading it for some time now. I started from the beginning. Your story is so inspiring and I am so happy to hear that you are pregnant! You, Todd and the girls will be in my prayers. May God continue to bless you all!

I came across your blog about 6 weeks ago, and read through about 85% of the posts. The heartache and pain you all went through, and the humble, honest courage you displayed were truly awesome.
I am glad that God has decided that it's time to give you another child to love and cherish and raise!
Blessings to you sweet Angie.
Congratulations...my prayers are with you and your beautiful family.
I'm so excited for you guys.

P.S. I can't wait for your book to come out!!

Praying, praying, praying.
As a wise man once said,(=)) may you be unaware of any afflictions, as I am praying they are eclipsed by Glory. And may you realize how GREAT His affections are for you.
Praise His name!!
Congratulations!

CONGRATULATIONS! I love you so much, friend and as you already know...I will be praying for ALL of you each and EVERY day!

just wanted to say CONGRATS will PRAY all goes as God plans.........
Long time reader, first time commenter!
Much Love!
Angie
If it's ok I could also use some prayer- we just found out (tonight via home pregnancy test) that I am also DUE :) but we are cautioously optimistic. I had a miscarriage in July and the sting is very real. We trust the Lord and his infinite wisdom and plan for our lives.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy for you! :)
I'm so happy for you and your family!

CONGRATS!
congrats!!!
and i just got chills and tears.. thank you very much! haha :)
im soooo happy for you guys!
I will be praying. It is hard to be pregnant after a loss. Really hard. My best advice is to start each day celebrating and thanking God for giving you this day with your baby and then give Him all the tomorrows. And when the worries come, and they will, thank Him again and give Him tomorow again. Repeat as necessary. :)
I love you Angie. I love you for being God's lady and for sharing Audrey's story with the world, because it helped me and my family when my niece had to say goodbye to her precious baby Mason back in January. Your faith and strength and transparency are inspiring.
Congratulations x 1,000,000!
Praising God for your fantastic news! Will ask the Lord to protect your heart and mind as there are some very emotional things about being pregnant after saying goodbye to our precious babies before them. So excited for your precious family!
Love so much,
Kenzie
I just KNOW that it's going to be a boy!! ; )
God bless you all!

So good to see you at the Lifepoint women's retreat. I am so thankful we connected in person, and was truly blessed by our time talking and sharing a few meals together on Saturday.
Praying, of course!

I have followed your story. I watched the "Plan B" clips on YouTube -and wow! What a journey.
Praying for you and your newest little blessing.
Your amazing and I am so excited for your news!!!!! Congrats!!!! My prayers are with you!!! You make beautiful babies!!!!
Jen

prayers are being lifted =)
I have been reading your blog for 1 1/2 years now and you are an inspiration to all of us. I have grown in my relationship with Jesus and desire so much more. You and your family are in my pprayers.
ps- I'm a newbie to your blog, however, I watched you tell your story through youtube a few months ago and was so touched by it. I'm glad to have found your blog finally :)
And just FYI -- You continually inspire me to be a better wife, mother, Christian. Even though we've never met, I eagerly await your news each week, pray for you and your family, and take away lots of inspiration from your words of wisdom. Is that too stalker-ish? I hope not!!
I will be praying for all of the Smith family throughout your pregnancy.
A sister in Christ,
Karyn
I'll be praying for you, the baby and your family. Congratulations!!
Wow, what an amazing "extra gift" you got with your Husbands voice. Something just simply beautiful about a man singing for Jesus! I am jealous...haha! I ask my Husband not to sing! :)
I must have his CD, so it's on my Thursday to-do list!
HAVE A GREAT DAY!
Blessings from Maryland, Djuna

Also I have looking for the song on your playlist by David Crowder on Itunes and cannot find it...Could you offer any help in finding it?

Triple Congrats are in order!

How wonderful!! You, Baby Smith and all your family will be continuously in my prayers.
God is SO good!!
Congratulations! He is faithful and you are blessed.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!

Things will be different this time...I can feel it. The way I look at it is that when Audrey was born, Jesus was up there looking upon you and your family. Now, Audrey is up there and I believe that she has already met this baby and will be taking care of this new little addition as you carry.
How excited are the girls??
Post when ya can because you know we'll be reading! Stay and be healthy.

Love your blog - keep up the good work as you can. It is such an encouragement.
I read ALL your posts in about a month, every night I would sit and read a couple, and every day I would tell people about your's and Audrey's story, and I still do! It's just such a -God- plan, if something even remotely like this happened to me some time ago, I probably would've cursed Him, but reading through your journey, and how another human being went through what you did and were still able to praise Him! It's just amazing, and encourages me to be a bolder, mature woman, christian, friend, servant of God, etc.. And growing in this area came right in time because I'm engaged! :) -totally ramdom note- but, I know I have to be firm in what I believe and whom my trust is in, or else, its a no-can-do without the love and trust in God.
I admire what the Lord has done in you and your family.. and, you'll see the rainbow (like one of your girls said in one of your early posts! :) ) BTW, out here in North California we just had a big rain (greatest rain in 30years here!) a couple weeks ago and the next day I looked out my window and saw this beautiful rainbow! And I remembered you, and that comment your little one made and I thought "I wonder if Angies seen her rainbow?" And until today I got around to checking for a new post, and I had never commented but I was soooo amazed by His greatness and faithfullness that i just had to!
-Sorry I wrote you a huge post after the 900 you already have! haha..
Praying for a wonderful, journey that we all get to share with you (I hope!) and another amazing life coming into this world to glorify Jesus' name!
Blessings to all your family!
Love,
Michelle in Cincinnati
How are you feeling?
I am THRILLED, Angie. Just THRILLED that you have been blessed again. I cannot tell you how happy I am for you. I said a prayer immediately upon reading this asking God to keep you, your family and the little peanut safe and healthy.
All the best to you and congrats to the Smith family!
<3

You didn't fool me for a second!
Congrats!!!
When I read the title of your blog post I was hoping that soooooooo......meant that you were going to share some big news.
Yeah.

And I can't wait to follow this pregnancy on your blog!
Philippians 4:8-9 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

I'm so thrilled for you.

Thank you for that! ...I realize I have not yet emailed you. It's been on my list to do!! It's been a very BUSY last few weeks, just as you attested to as well. I WILL email.
Thank you!
p.s. Funny story--your husband sang at a town near my school in NY last night. Two of my friends went to the concert, and I was very jealous! :o) I will email soon!
oh and of course....congratulations, again!!
I met you at my house on Harding awhile back. Well, the house finally sold. We closed earlier this month just 2 1/2 weeks before my precious Maggie came. Maybe you are just a few months behind me with your house selling and baby coming. :) It was very stressful, but after we closed, I was keenly aware of God's perfect timing. How true is that for you? I don't know the details, but I know He does, and I will pray for you, your family, and the sweet little one growing big, strong and healthy in your womb this very minute.

I'm SO excited and happy for you about your little one inside! That's amazing news! I'll be praying for you all. And also really looking forward to reading your book when it comes out. And I'm totally into listening to "You Deliver Me." What a great album. It has blessed me so.
Love to you all,
Melody from MN
Todd just told us tonight at his concert at the Clemen's Center in Elmira, NY. It brought me to tears. I am so happy for you!!! I am praying that you have a wonderful pregnancy. Your hubby is so excited!!! God Bless you and your beautiful family. You are always in my prayers.

You and your family are an absolute inspiration to me!
I wish you lots of love and luck in everything!
Sarah
Anyway, I say all this because the fact that you have 3 healthy little girls and are pregnant again gives me SO much hope, especially since our situations are so similar. And I am so happy for you - you deserve this. I will be praying for the smoothest pregnancy in the history of the world!
You can Cloth Diaper. We can help.

This will make Audrey a big sister -how cool is that :)
I have spent countless hours over the last week reading your whole blog, starting from the very beginning! I cried, I laughed, I prayed! Thanks for being so open and honest and for being such an amazing example of what not only a Christian is supposed to look like, but also a mother, a wife, a friend and so much more! I am so excited for your family and will be living you guys up to the Lord in the coming days, weeks, and months!

P.S. I was at the Selah and Avalon concert in Riverview last weekend and it was amazing. I probably never would have found out about it if I hadn't followed the link from your blog, so, thank you!
I'm so thankful for your many gifts that bring your journey to life! A friend referred your blog to me and I've been very emotionally reading through it. It's undoubtedly refreshing, yet honest. Thank you for that. I've wondered how God must think of us, His children, as we share our stories - surely He's proud of your approach... bathed in scripture and loads of little (and big) fingers pointing to heaven giving Him the praise and honor and glory.
My husband and I have had 3 pregnancies and subsequent losses, each very early. A year of searching, researching and investing in correcting the many problems and we're newly pregnant as well! We are trusting God for this one, our first baby, to cross the finish line. So far, we've made it further than any time before. Whatever His plan is, however, I now know it's possible to stay by His side through whatever He has. I'm seeing this all over your testimony. Thank you, again, for doing what you do. You are an inspiration.
Sincerely,
Renee
thomas on March 20, 2008... he lived one hour... his diagnosis was terminal... multicystic kidney dissease. They were given a 50% chance of this happening to future children. But on May 15, 2009... a very healthy baby girl, named Hadley Jo, was born to our daughter and her husband. She is beautiful.. and such a blessing. Your story inspired all of us.. we learned of your story, after ours had unfolded... but the fact that your first 3 children were healthy... was the inspiration for them to continue on, and believe that they too would have a healthy child.
Wishing you all the best!
That's just awesome and I'm praying it's healthy and strong . . . another miracle in the making!!
After we had Stella with Spinal Muscular Atrophy, God spoke to me and said that I was pregnant and that the baby was healthy . . . we couldn't hardly believe for a minute that we were pregnant given precautions but here was God telling me I was . . . and sure enough, I started feeling it and it was confirmed. We ran genetic testing early on to prepare for any crazy news as we had a 1:4 chance of SMA again since my husband and I are both the 1:40 that carry the gene for SMA. Even though neither of us have SMA, the combination of our genes makes the odds 1:4. I'll never forget when the geneticist called to say, "You aren't going to believe this . . . " and I said, "I bet I will" (because God had assured me) .. . she continued, "Your baby doesn't have SMA AND it doesn't even carry the gene for SMA." Praising God for your good news, Angie! This is the awesome hope that helps to take away the pain of loss. Hugs to you!
Hugs,
Sarah and Stella

AWESOME news!
And for some weird reason, I had that feeling. I checked today's blog, and hadn't been on your blog for well over a month, and thought I'd better look a little lower to her previous posts, cause something is going on..I can feel it.
Sure enough, you're PREGNANT!!!
SOOO happy for you!!!
Will come back more often...I've just been soooo busy!
Oh, and I received a letter from my sponsor child from COMPASSION!!! :) Made me think of you :)
I am so incredibly happy for you - your post brought tears streaming down my face. I myself will be having our first frozen embryo transfer for our precious adopted embryos a week from today. And I am hoping to share in this amazing journey of pregnancy with you...but like you, no matter the outcome, I will love and trust our God with every ounce of my being.
All my love in Christ,
Heather
Thank you for continuing this ministry...because though it may be a blog to you...it's a ministry to me.

The Lord has blessed you as you have faithfully served Him in the darkest of times, and through your family story you have ministered with truth, reality and raw honesty. A huge hug from a sister that has had the privilege to pray for you.
God bless your families and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
