For those of you who haven't already heard the big news, we recently found out that we are pregnant with Baby #4! I realize that I could've just as easily posted this as my Facebook status to get the news out, but I thought I would write a post to answer a few inevitable questions.
1)Were you surprised?
Answer: This is always an obvious "yes" and "no".
Yes, because no one gets to choose when God will create a new baby inside of them, He is the author of life and no one else, so yes, we were pleasantly surprised to find He has chosen to bless us again in this way!
No, because anytime you are doing what married people do (whether you are actually married or not) you have no real reason to ever be surprised...that's just how it works!
Which leads me to the next question...
2)You know how this happens right?
Answer: Seriously, this is rude, and you should never ask this when someone tells you they are pregnant, even (in fact, especially) if they have a lot of children. Just be happy for them!
3)Are you done now?
Answer: We have no idea...and also, kind of rude. It implies that someone has exceeded your "perfect" number of children, which happens to be different for each family. A more appropriate question would be: "Do y'all want to have more children after this?"
Okay, now that I got all of that taken care of...here are some answers to some real questions.
We are looking at an early September due date. We haven't been to the doctor yet, so I don't have a specific due date, that's just an educated guess.
Nathan probably will not be home for the birth.:( This will be the first one he will have missed, and, of course, it makes me sad to think about it, but we are trusting God to work everything out just as He has for all of our other births.
I think that's all for now...we will post information as we get it!
