New Addition!!

 

That's right! If you missed my post on Facebook, we are expecting again!! Sophia is going to be a "big" sister, and we couldn't be happier. I thought I would address some questions/comments here...

 

When are you due?

My tentative due date is April 28, 2013.

 

How far along are you?

6 weeks and 2 days... to be precise.

 

Was it planned?

Well, yes, I'm almost positive God planned for this child. ;-)

 

It's so soon!

Yep! And we're very, very excited about that. We want a big family... but, we also want to enjoy retirement & an empty nest someday. ;-)

 

Fingers crossed for a brother for that big sister!

Well, nope... a little sister would be wonderful as well. A baby brother would be fantastic too. Heck, maybe one of each? In all seriousness... gender does NOT matter to us one bit. We are just so blessed to have this little life... and we will be thrilled with a boy... or a girl.

 

You're going to be exhausted!

Aren't all parents? We'd rather not get out of "baby mode"... why not do it now while it's fresh in our minds?

 

Two in diapers!

Yep. Expensive. Good thing we're on the Dave Ramsey plan, huh?

 

CONGRATULATIONS!

THANK YOU!!! We're so, so, so excited! Even more importantly, we are so blessed. We do not deserve all of the blessings God gives us. We are thankful.

 

What a blessing.

AMEN!

 

... and my favorite:

"My advice...let God bless your family as many times as he sees fit. His plan is always perfect!"

Well said, Chara. Well said.

 

Seriously, though, we really appreciate all of the well-wishes, prayers, and support you have sent our way. Please keep our family in your prayers. I forgot just how scary the first trimester is after having a miscarriage with our first. As my husband so wisely says though, we are not guaranteed even another second with Sophia, so why should we live in fear? I take much peace in knowing that God holds this sweet little life in His hands.

 

Thanks again... we love you all!
