Let's just admit that I have slacked on writing the blog big time. I decided I finally better write since life has changed for us. You all know that I started working at the school this year. I have really enjoyed it and expected to be working there for many years to come with Jacob now entering first grade. But the Lord obviously had other plans for us.
At the end of March we got a huge surprise when we found out I was pregnant. How was that even possible after years of trying and the Lord telling us to move on? After we had given away all of our baby stuff and I did my best to accept that there would be no more babies? How did that happen? It felt surreal and I was too afraid to believe it would last.
Now here we are, 20 weeks into the pregnancy and I just had a healthy ultrasound. It looks like we will have a boy joining our family this December! We are beyond excited. Truthfully, it took some time for us to wrap our brains around something that seemed impossible. We still have our moments of shock since it will be almost 7 years since our last baby. But we also feel so incredibly blessed. What a miracle for our family!
The plan will be for me to work this fall at school and then quit at the end of November. The school said I can come back anytime I am ready, but I am determined to enjoy this last little baby all I can. I always was sad I didn't know Jacob was our last because I would have enjoyed him more. Now the Lord has blessed us with another baby. We are so excited.
I will keep you updated on the baby and names and all that. Happy Day!!!
