Well, here we go...

I had not made this official in my blog, even though all of our family know, but we are pregnant with baby #2 :) I am 17 weeks along and we are doing well. The first trimester was really hard and had some difficulties, but the Lord is so faithful and good. I was so sick and then I got Pneumonia and that just did it :) I am feeling so much better now though and I am so thankful to the Lord for that. The due date is April 24th...Matty's b-day is the 27th...so we will see :)

You are probably wondering about the weird title :) Well, let me explain...as I have been praying for this baby I have felt those words strongly of his/her character. It is neat how the Lord gives us little glimpses of our children's personalities. With Rebekah I remember that it was joy and sweet spirit, and she truly is both. We shall see!

We are excited...so excited. We are going to arrange for the baby and REB to sleep in the same room. Our house is small, but enough for all us. We still want to keep a guest room for family or friends when they visit, so we thought this was the best arrangement. Plus I grew up sharing a room with siblings my whole life and we think that is good and healthy for children. We are not finding out whether it's a boy or a girl...so it will be another beautiful surprise. Who needs to prepare when the Lord has already done that for us :) And we are also planning on another natural and not medicated birth.

If you think of us pray for continued healthy mama and baby and pray for the Lord to prepare all of us physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally for this new addition to our family. I am sure there will be more adjustments to make and we want to glorify our Lord through all of it.
