God has Blessed us again!

It's 6:30 am and I'm listening to the silence of sleeping children, the hum of the dishwasher, and enjoying a cup of coffee.
I am tired.
But it's a good tired.

Because we are expecting again!!

I know shocking right?!
I had huge signs the weekend before, remember when I was saying I couldn't get warm? Very typical of me when I'm first expecting. I have had an endless appetite and insane cravings already. I had sushi (cooked) Tuesday night. It was so flavorful and delicious!! I knew I was that day, but the test was still showing negative. I took another one on Wednesday and the most faint, practically not visible line appeared a few hours later. Mike said he couldn't see it!
So took another one Thursday morning and the same faint line showed up in 3 mins!!
And so typical of me, I took another one Saturday morning and it's a wonderful bold line immediately showing that my HCG levels are doubling like they should ;-)
I was in complete shock Monday and Tuesday and was a bit snappy because I was constantly thinking about it, but children are a direct blessing from God. We are so happy and excited!
However come Oct 2nd, my due date, I won't be able to ever leave my house again! LOL
We are still going to do Disney in December. The baby will just be sleeping all the time and when he/she is a bit older it would be harder. So on with the plan!
I have split intiution on what the sex is. I would really like it to be a complete surprise in the deliver room.
I'm hoping too since Grammy and Papa are retiring this year, that they would want to come down around the due date and Grammy can see a grandchild be born ;-) How neat how life works out this way.
I'm PRAYING for my sister Jennifer to conceive, my SIL Amy to conceive, and my friend Tracy to conceive. They all three came first to my mind with our wonderful surprise and I wanted to protect their hearts. I know how I felt when I was trying to conceive Riordan and then my friends around me were being successful. I'm just very sensitive to that. So I let them all know before I posted this. They were all, of course, so excited and happy for us and it was reassuring.
How fun it's going to be for this baby to have cousins so close in age!
Caden told me two weeks ago that I had another baby in my tummy. He did that with Teagan as well. Children are so amazing, so intune and a direct open wave link with God.
We went to Chris Tomlin Friday night, and even though we couldn't stay for the whole performance, it was an amazing chill bump experience. I have a hard time explaining the details because I get lost in it. But Pastor Louie Giglio showed an embryo at 8 cells and I began to weep. How amazing! I have always known how life starts but to see it on a 15ft screen was breathtaking. Even Mike was moved as he began to nudge me.
So here we are, already planning if it's a boy, if it's a girl names, where he/she will sleep, and thank God I found Kate who is my other blessing for helping with the children. We told her Friday when we got home and she was so excited. She loves little babies!
Caden by the way told me it's a girl but I don't know if that's because he wants another Teagan, which are his words.
So keep us in your prayers for a healthy, happy, beautiful, baby AGAIN!
My 1st appointment is February 20th, and I will be 9 weeks exactly.
