SURPRISE!!!
Yes Connor is going to be a big brother. I am due March 30th, but since Connor was 4 days late, I'm guessing it'll be the first of April. Or as the doctor so kindly put it, "expect to go full term." With Connor we waited to tell people until the 2nd trimester, but because we've already seen the heartbeat, we're excited to share the news with all our family and friends. My doctor said I have a less than 2% chance of a miscarriage so I should tell the world. We were very shocked at first but are now looking forward to our little ones being only 22 months apart. You see, I am a planner, but God's plans are much bigger than mine:
Baby #1
Our plan - To hopefully be pregnant by summer 2008
God's plan - Connor Joshua was born June 9, 2008
Baby #2
Our plan - Start trying for baby #2 once Connor turns 2
God's plan - Baby #2 will be born 2 months before Connor's 2nd birthday
After the initial "oh my gosh, oh my gosh" I look forward to the fun times ahead. I have a little bear figurine that holds & displays Bible verses. Every day I try to read one to Connor. After we found out I was pregnant (and had a sleepless night,) I woke up the next morning to read that day's verse. God was definitely speaking to me. The verse was Jeremiah 29:11 which reads "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
So it is with that, that I can sit back, take a deep breath and smile knowing that we are Blessed Once More.
