Plus One

Hmmmm, wonder what that could mean. :) 

I'm sure most of my reader's already know the news but I just wanted to share the story behind the news!

One morning in December I woke up and decided to take a pregnancy test. I had had a few "scares" over the past fews months so I decided to be proactive and take a test before I freaked myself out, waiting for "that time" to start. 

Surprise, surprise! It was positive. Definitely not what I was expecting. I went into the bedroom and asked Eli if I could turn on the light (he was just waking up). He grumpily agreed. He woke up rather quickly after that! I showed him the test, his reply, "what does that mean?". It was one of those cheapo tests which shows + or -. He was just as shocked as me! 

While we are excited now, the news wasn't what we were expecting and I had a hard time being excited. You see, it wasn't apart of my plan. In fact it threw a kink in my plan. But then I realized that God obviously has a different plan for us (even though sometimes I wish it lined up more with my plan) and a WAY better plan for us than I could ever imagine. The last few months have been a painful journey of learning to trust my entire life to His hands. 

Now I am 17 weeks 2 days and we get to find out whether it's a boy or girl on the 20th! 
9 more days!!!!!

Eli thinks it's another boy. I honestly have no feelings either way.

Although, I do have to admit I really want a girl. :)

  2. I've heard it said several times "To hear God laugh, tell Him your plans."
    I'm the same way though. Don't mess with my plan!
    p.s. We are very excited for all of you!
