What child is this?!

Our Christmas season has come and gone, today is the last day of Christmas vacation for us and we're going to see the new Star Wars movie today with family!  It was a good relaxing season for us.  With fewer demands on our time this year, it didn't become such a stressful time of year that it sometimes can be.

We also learned some exciting, although unexpected news!  We are expecting a miracle baby, due next summer!  After the cancer doctors repeatedly offering Advanced Reproductive services if we ever decided to pursue conceiving a child, telling us that due to my husband's hormone treatments and chemo therapy history, conception naturally would be near impossible...imagine our surprise to learn that we were pregnant!

I am thankful that all of our family and friends have been very receptive and supportive of us.  This new child will change our lives in a big way.  It may end up being wiser for me to stay home or work part time rather than pay childcare costs for three children.  Our little starter home will need to be reorganized to fit everyone.  So many changes, and I am grateful of them all.  This little life inside is a much loved and wanted child.  Well worth all the changes in our lives he/she may bring.

I am grateful that the Lord considered us worthy of the calling to add another child to our family.
