Let's play a little {catch up}.

Well, now that we've announced I thought I'd catch us up to date on my weekly picture. Thank you all for the congrats, it means a lot to our little family and we appreciate the support! This pregnancy took a little time to process because, yes, this was a complete SURPRISE. A while back we had agreed to not even mention the word 'baby', and see how we felt about even adding a third, until Porter was 2 (sept 2012). So, we were in COMPLETE shock when we found out we were expecting again. A few days after finding out and honestly, still trying to process it all, I found THIS VIDEO.  Wow. Powerful. Emotional. It was very much a "Yes, God, I'm listening". So, I agreed to not complain again. And, boy, how I've had to prove that. This little baby has made me more sick than my other two pregnancies combined. Morning. Noon. Night and sometimes in the middle of the night. 
 But, we know that God gives such good gifts...this is truly a gift we didn't even ask for and we can't wait to meet this little one in May!
We would appreciate your prayers, this baby is due right before Porter turns 21 months (the exact same spacing as H to P). That's 3 kids in just under 3 1/2 years. Wow. Every now and then I wonder how we'll manage but I know God wouldn't have given us this blessing if He didn't think we could handle it. I'm sure it'll be hard but He'll get us through. He always has...






And, we appreciate your prayers for Porter's surgery this Thursday, the 1st.
Have a great week!!

Oh Grace. That's beautiful. It makes me tear up. Babies are such a blessing and God always provides the grace needed to rock as parents. I'm so so SOOOO happy for you two. I love hearing about surprise pregnancy because I feel like people are still out there trusting God completely, with every part of their relationship. Love it love it love it!!!
