Were you? We were too! That great "theologian" Woody Allen is credited saying "If you want to hear God laugh, tell Him your plans." I've had plans lately. Plans to start my photography business, plans to engage heavily in our marriage ministry, plans to sell the baby things and organize...But that wasn't THE plan. I'm just glad the baby things never actually got sold and the rest can pause for as long as God sees fit.
Though we are excited, I'm anxious. I'm anxious about being outnumbered. I'm anxious I will now be the frazzled mom without showers or sanity (although I am almost like that now so what's the difference) but most of all, I am anxious about my health with this new addition's pregnancy. My prayer is that I will make it through this difficult first trimester without the drama that happened the last go around...but even if I don't make it through unscathed I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel in the Spring!
Olivia doesn't know yet- but I am sure she will figure it out soon. She has been praying to God for a baby sister lately- before I even knew I was pregnant. Apparently, she "is bored with her current baby." (Ha! Who could be bored with Mr SmilyMcClimbyPants?) Looks like her prayers made it through though (hope she won't be disappointed if it's a another brother- though my intuition says girl.)
Please keep us all in your prayers as we navigate the waters of a home where the Mommy just ain't up to par. Should be interrrresting.

this is wonderful news, indeed! even though it was a surprise to you, it wasn't a surprise to the Lord. He will supply the grace you need to get through each of your pregnant days. =) may the joy of the Lord be your strength! love you guys!
I have a confession. I have been saying some not so nice things about you lately. EVERY single time I click on your blog it says you have not updated since JANUARY. I was like I know you are pregnant and all but come on, give us something here. In reality I saved your Janurary post instead of your actual blog to my favorites........sorry friend. I thought tonight to click on the top and double check and SURE ENOUGH, you have not fallen off the wagon at all. I love you guys and am praying for you TONS!
