God said..."Let me handle this..."
God has told us that alot in the past year..."Let Me handle this." A year ago this January, we found out we were expecting our sweet baby girl in October.
God handled it, and decided that she needed to join the world in July instead.
In December, he said "Let Me handle this" again, when I had to leave my job that I loved.
God handled it, and is providing for us in ways we never imagined.
On Sunday, we were able to attend church for the first time since we brought Sayla Grace home from the hospital. Unfortunately she wasn't able to go with us (it'll be about July when she's allowed to go), but we were really moved during the service. Of course we love our church family and were so excited to get to see everyone.
During one of the prayer times, I really heard God speak to me, and I asked Him to help me in this new year. I need to get back to Him. To give it all to Him...let Him handle it all. I prayed that He would help me, daily, to let Him handle everything, and put my own wants and needs aside.
Let's back up to Saturday night. Owen felt God was speaking to him in a dream. When he woke Sunday morning, we talked about his dream. After church, we made a pit stop at the store for some formula and a few other things, then home to see our baby girl.
Monday morning, I woke up on a mission...Let God handle it all. And on our way out the door to an ENT appointment for SG (standard...nothing's wrong), something happened that will forever change our lives.
God swooped in, and said..."Hey...I'll take it from here."
But right before He said that, this was staring us in the face....
Yes...you saw that right. No...that is not a picture from last January. That is a picture from Monday morning.
We are pregnant! AGAIN!!
We have always wanted a big family, but we didn't quite expect it would start growing so quickly!
We went to the doctor on Monday for blood work, and found out on Tuesday that we are indeed pregnant. I'm currently 5 to 8 weeks along. I go back Wednesday for more blood work just to be sure my pregnancy hormone levels are growing the way they are supposed to, and to confirm just how pregnant we are. Since we weren't planning this, we really have no clue! I know I can't be more than 8 weeks though.
We are shocked, but so excited. The next year will sure be interesting and difficult. I will have to be on bed rest, we just don't know the details yet. We will need help, we just don't know how yet. But we'll be sure to let you know!
We appreciate your prayers during this time. We know this is God's doing (that's the dream Owen had Saturday night...that I was with child!), and that He is in this 100%.
We just didn't expect two babies in diapers!!
