Since I am taking the time to blog tonight...

I figure I should take the time to make a blog announcement about our current news.  Especially considering my dear husband made a Facebook announcement almost a week ago which pretty much makes it official to the whole world.  Here I will announce to anyone remaining that was left out of that round.
























I am...

(Yes that is a fuzzy picture of a plus sign.)

Everyone around here is very excited.  We would appreciate your prayer for this little bugger.  This is very early and announcing this soon breaks all the rules of pregnancy announcements but we would rather Christian brothers and sisters know and pray for us than to walk the journey alone.  I calculate that I am due between 1/21 and 2/05/13.

I found out that we were expecting just shortly after I became very blue about the fact that I should be holding a newborn right now.  The baby we lost last September would have been born in March or April.  But God is good and has a perfect plan and his plan for us now is, we pray, to carry this new baby to a healthy full term.

If you are tempted to make family size comments, don't worry I've already heard them all...three children ago!!  http://blogginbridget.blogspot.com/2007/12/large-families-faq-with-come-backs.html  (I didn't laugh at all of these...some are not called for and not funny but I have to say that I have been tempted with all of them.)
