We are expecting again! I seriously wanted to just put a period there, but then felt like it wouldn't sound like I was really excited. I am really excited, right? I'm getting there. It doesn't help when your "morning" sickness lasts all day:(
I suspected that I was pregnant a couple of weeks ago. I finally went and bought a test at Walmart...with 5 children. The greeter looked at me with the "big eyes" and said, "You sure do have your hands full!" I felt like yelling at her, "YOU HAVE NO IDEA!"
The test screamed positive as soon as I took it. I am ashamed to admit how I reacted. I cried. Alot. Then I prayed a whole lot of selfish prayers. I didn't want to tell Christian because I didn't want to overwhelm him. I kept the secret for 4 very long days.
During that time, I knew that I was being ridiculous. This isn't cancer...it's a baby. The bible says that children are a blessing and a reward from the Lord. I am so glad that a dear friend found out by default and was able to encourage me. She shared with me Psalm 139, a chapter that she has been memorizing and had been especially sweet to her in her father's recent passing. The verse that stood out like it was in neon lights was verse 16. "All the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be." How could I be anxious or afraid? This blessing was ordained by God before I was even born!
I told Christian, and of course he was great about it. He hated that I labored over telling him and said that if God wanted to bring another being into this world, who are we to question that? He also said that he hoped I liked passenger vans! He was very encouraging and I actually regret not telling him earlier.
So, we are looking at a December 1st due date. I haven't been to the doctor yet, but I'm pretty sure that she will confirm this. I'm just hoping to make it through the next 6 weeks or so without losing my mind! Morning sickness is no joke!
