So Wow, we have a lot of going on right now!! First of all, I am pregnant. I guess that is what happeneds when you have been away from your husband for 5 weeks.
It's a boy and I am about 18 1/2 weeks along. I have so many emotions that come with this. I am worried for my others kids, hoping they will be able to know and feel the love I have for all of them, wondering how I am going to do this, and hating walking any where, having a thousands stares and thinking seriously if they only knew I had another one coming. And when they do find out feeling a little judged with people wondering what is she doing.
So, this is supposed to be an exciting time for us, and it is really a blessing. All of our Children are. My friend said this in her blog talking about her pregnancy and it was something I felt, but just needed to hear.
"I never actually asked “How did this happen?” because it seems so obvious, but let me just say it isn’t always obvious. It’s just the will of the Lord." (Thanks Jo)
This news may come as a shock to some and maybe not to others, but I haven't really been talking about it much because it has been so much easier to enjoy it privately. I don't know what to expect, or how I'm going to do it. But what I do know is that the Lord has constantly wrapped his arms around our family and has carried us from one point to the next. I feel so undeserving of ALL the Lord has blessed me and my family with and I am so humbled by the love he shows me every single day. I truly believe the Lord has a plan for me, and its up to me to get my self together to feel deserving of all of this. So yes I am terrified, but I am excited for all that life has for our future. I am so grateful for my family and for how we have all come together.
Our second bit of exciting news is we are moving to Utah in a couple of weeks!!! This has been a huge blessing. We have been so far away from family and I am so excited to be close to them again. Heavenly Father knows I need them even if they are about 4 hours away and he got us closer to them then I ever thought we would be at this point.
Everything has all happened so fast. He just found out last Friday that we need to be out there so he can start work with in the 2010 period so we seriously feel like I have no time to think, just act! So we now have a place to rent, and hopefully w can get everything set with the movers so we won't be traveling during Christmas,but i am feeling like we will be.
We are excited for all that we have coming our way and count our blessings everyday.
