Well, yesterday I got a little curious and decided to take a pregnancy test. No big deal, I keep a spare in the house just to reassure me when i get to wondering. I always "fail" the test. Yesterday I passed. Yikes! I've never had a baby that I didn't plan! The control freak in me kinda went numb. I was thinking about having another baby. Maybe we'd work on that this summer. God, apparently, had other plans. He has pressed us into a position where we must let go and trust Him. Financially it will be a challenge. Physically it will be a challenge. Emotionally it will be a challenge.
All that said, we are excited despite the hurdles that will need to be overcome. Everyone thinks that it's time for us to have another girl. I'd like that. So now it's on to eating more healthy, exercising with purpose and getting things organized for a new baby. Wish us luck!
Sounds like you've got a good plan. I'm praying this baby will be such a joy to you and your husband. I'm thinkin' pink!
ReplyDeleteWow Dorene, what a blessed surprise! But you know God is not surprised as the baby is His creation so he will provide all that is needed. We will pray pink for you too but most of all for a healthy baby. You are such good parents looks like the Lord knew you needed one more. Blessing on you all.
ReplyDeleteHoly Cow! I was not expecting to read that when I decided to check in on your blog. Congratulations, I hope you have a smooth 7.5ish months to come. How exciting! And this coming from the one who once told me she wouldn't have any kids past age 35. Hee Hee funny how our plans change as life rolls forward. Hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteit's true! i always said 35 would be my cut off. well, i was surprised! your turn kim! you and anabel. what? isn't that how it's supposed to be? everyone shows up pregnant to my baby shower, right? and randi... spread the word. :)
ReplyDeleteDorene, I have five. I've met my quota. My head is already spinning half the time just trying to call them by the correct names. But, I will instruct Anabel to get working on that, haha. And Randi? Now you're getting delirious, that's crazy talkin'!
