You could say we got a little SURPRISE!
I am not sure if I can count this as a make something monday post but I have been dying to share some news with you...I am pregnant. :)
And surprised is right. It was more like shock and aw and wonder at how this could even be possible. This really should not be possible.
Having my fourth baby in five years wasn't exactly on my list of things to do in 2012 but you know sometimes God has much different plans than we do. (duh like our entire life for the past year maybe I should get a clue :))
...I said I was being honest.
But we are feeling truly blessed and gearing up for our sweet new addition to join us in early May (36 weeks to avoid some personal complications)! And now that I have hit the second trimester I am praying for less nausea and more energy...baby number four here we come!
Congrats to you all!
ReplyDeleteHey congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI'm having my fourth in less than five years in January!
Its a crazy time but I hope you'll feel great soon!
congrats!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sooo excited!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful blessing!!!
ReplyDeleteSurprise indeed!! Oh my goodness! Congratulations Rebekah, and lots of love to your whole (quickly expanding) family!!
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS!!! Four is lots of work but so wonderful! Hope you're feeling better VERY VERY soon!
ReplyDeleteI hope you start to feel much better soon, I know that nausea can drain everything out of you! I'm praying for your family ;)
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS!! I'm so happy for you. God has incredible ways of showing us that we can always make plans, but he's in charge.
ReplyDeleteHope you start feeling better soon. Prayers sent your way :)
What a blessing! Congratulations! :)
ReplyDeleteWHAT!?!?!!? I'm surprised right along with you!! Fantastic. Beautiful. Miracle. Awesomeness. He will give you what you need. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteahh! congratulations. i need to take this picture because i am also 13 weeks pregnant and my little tot is 13 months! here's to feeling better...
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! You are right where I was last year. We had a 5 year old, a (just turned) 4 year old, a (just turned) 2 year old, and one due in May. We had just sold our house, quit hubby's career, and moved to another city so my hubby could attend art school. With much tighter restrictions on budget, time, and space, we decided that we simply must wait before getting preg again...but God had other plans. I spent most of September and October going, "Um, God, are you sure about this??" And now, our sweet one is sleeping peacefully beside me as I type this, and we have been asking ourselves, "How did we ever get along without him??" You are a *very* blessed woman, and I can't wait to see who this little cutie turns out to be! :-)
ReplyDeleteVery creative announcement Becca!! Very exciting news indeed!! Lots of love, Auntie Sass and Uncle Scott. P.S. Remember, we also babysit!!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone you are all so kind!
ReplyDeleteMarla that is crazy what is your due date than? Even though I am delivering around May 10th I am due on June 7th..you? Our girls are like five days apart I think :)
Arianne can I come to your house and sit on your couch and have a heart to heart :)...those are basically the exact ages mine will be and I am delivering in May...your a true kindred spirit!
Congratulations, Rebekah! I was just starting to follow your blog when you created that sweet little nook for Josie's crib. All good wishes to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet post, Beck. So thankful for this season even though it is tough! I love watching you parent...it is beautiful, full of grace and joy! Can't wait to meet this little one in May. What about May 2nd?! ;)
ReplyDeleteThis very much fits in with the saying, "if you don't think God has a sense of humor, try planning your life" What a blessing! #4 will be an unbelievable blessing to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely thrilled for you! Babies are such a blessing.
ReplyDeleteWow... congratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteOh Rebekah, you CAN do this!! It won't always be easy, but someday you will look back and wonder why you ever doubted. The fun is not even imaginable! I promise. AND you might even choose to deliberately add to the brood through adoption when they get bigger. :) My firstborn was just barely 5 when #4 was born...now there are 3 in college, a senior in high school, and the bonus boys in 1st grade. Life is good, God is awesome and He will provide exactly what you need.
ReplyDeleteThe door here is open and the water for tea is hot if you ever want a seasoned (old!) mom's perspective. My boys would delight in a playdate with your boys.
