I could use some prayers for about the next 9 months. DH and I found out today that we are pregnant again. THis is exciting and scary. Our DD is going to be 8 in less than a month and our ds just turned 9 months. DD was a product of fertility treatments, having lost 7 including her twin and triplet. Ds was a HUGE surprise and an even more high risk pregnancy than DD. Dr told me NOT to get pregnant again but I couldn't prevent until DS quit nursing. So, it is going to be a long, hard road but we are happy and ecstatic.

Thanks everyone for your kind words and prayers. It is funny, DH and I are still in shock. Last night I woke up around midnight, DH was still up. I looked at him and said "we are having a baby." It still seems so unreal. We had such a hard time in the beginning. We have lost 7 all together, including Cassidys twin and triplet. We had her after months of fertility treatments. Then we had such scares with her pregnancy. I was even counseled to terminate my pregnancy because they were sure she had defects with her heart and kidneys and were certain she would be a downs baby. You know what? God is faithful and she is perfect. No medical issues at all. Then we went 7 years without getting pregnant again. We were done and ready to move on to becoming foster parents. But God is faithful and true. He promised us 2 and along came Nathan, a huge surprise. His name, Nathan Matthew, means a gift is given by God. Our promise was complete. This is such a shock, even more so than Nathan was. God only promised us 2 but I guess his book does say he will bless until our cup runneth over. God had a plan. That is why my sister felt so bothered by us living in an apartment. That is why God placed the desire in her heart to provide for us a bigger home. And God provided a home, not only big enough for the family we had, but one to grow into. And so we shall. :)
