"For you created me in my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
Psalm 139:13-14
A few weeks ago Scott and I got the surprise of our lives! I was home with the kids. Jack was napping while Grady and I were snuggling while I was feeding him his bottle. I had a strange feeling that something was up. I decided to take a pregnancy test not thinking the answer would be anything but negative. As the hour glass blinked on the screen, I continued to play with my baby. Then, the words appeared..."pregnant."
What? No way! I think I had to look at the test a million times before I really believed what I was reading. How was this possible? I was holding my 4 month old for goodness sakes! I laughed out loud right then and there and praised God for His humor and His blessing.
Scott didn't get home until late that night. I wrote, "Oops! We did it again," on the mirror and taped the test next to my message. When he arrived home Jack was in our shower. Scott had a nice little talk with Jack and of course did not notice my little note that would write his future. Finally, after some coercing by me, he noticed my sign and got excited. I think at the moment we were both in excited shock!
I am about ten weeks along and doing great. The baby is healthy, active, and has a strong heart beat. I go weekly to see this precious angel until I am 12 weeks along. At 12 weeks I will have the screening I had when I was pregnant for Grady. This screening tests for Downs, Trisomy 18, neural tube defects, and other abnormalities. After this, I begin the traditional monthly doctor visits.
A year ago I would have told you that this would be impossible. I would not have believed you if you told me I was going to have three children. However, all things are possible with God. He is good. He is great. He has done, "exceedingly, abundantly beyond all I can ask or imagine!" To Him be the glory forever!
