I can hardly believe it! WE are expecting!!!! The past ten months we have hoped for you, we have longed for you. We prayed for you, we fasted for you, we went to the temple for in hopes we could have you! And a few days ago we found out we were expecting you! I'm SO grateful, and excited, and just so full of pure joy that you will be joining our family! I love you so much sweet baby, I can't wait for the next 9 months to go by, so I can hold you, and love you, and call you mine forever. I love you number 4 :).
To back up just a little here is how we found out we knew you were on your way. On May 19, daddy was on-call at work, and mommy decided to take a test. The line wasn't there at all, so mommy went into 'maybe-next month mode'. I then took Michael to Kindergarten, and got a few things ready for the day. After running the morning errands, I came back to look at the test again, and there was a another FAINT (I almost wondered if I was imagining it) line next to the control line... since it had been after 10minutes (you aren't suppose to count the test valid if read after ten minutes). I sent daddy a text saying "I think we are prego". He called back and we chatted. Daddy was a little skeptical and didn't want to get mommy's hopes up too high. So we took another test later and sure enough another faint line. To be 100% positive though, we decided to be tested at daddy's work the next day, and then we knew for sure.... baby number 4 is on his/her way! I am overwhelmed with gratitude. I'm so excited. I'm thinking we are due Last week in Jan or first week in feb. Perfect timing! Daddy will have just gone through his interviews and the fellowship match, I'll have time to enjoy your new born stage, and mommy will have time to re-gain her strength before we move for daddy's fellowship.
For now though it's a secret.... want to be done with first trimester before the 'news' gets out. Plus with your brothers and sister, being old enough to understand we want them to know first :). I love you sweet baby. I'm so excited to be your mommy!
