Our thoughts about our "news".

A few of you wanted to know if we were happy with our news, so here goes:

Yes! Of course!

A lot of different emotions come across, especially at first, but simply reflecting on my pregnancy with Kira helped me get a handle on this. I had a hard time emotionally when I was pregnant with her - it happened after a difficult time in our lives, and I did not want to be pregnant. But - when she was born, we #1 were delighted she was a girl - our first girl, and #2, she has brought so much joy into our lives, we couldn't love her more.

During child rearing, I often am amazed at how much enjoyment kids can bring, to me. No one else is around most of the time that they are being so sweet, interesting and funny - it's truely like a gift personally for me to enjoy. That of course is on a good day, right?

Realistically there will challenges, but we know that we will love the little squirt.

Stu and I couldn't think of any reasons we wouldn't be happy to be pregnant again, except for selfish reasons - (vacations will be harder to take, more work at home, etc.) So besides those selfish wishes, we are happy - surprised, but happy.

Psalm 127

1.Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain...
3.
Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from him.
4. Like arrows
in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth.
5. Blessed is the man
whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend
with their enemies in the gate.
