I know the three of you that read my blog already know that we are expecting another baby, but there may be a few that don't. It is actually a pretty neat story that I wanted to share. When Shelby (my youngest) was about a year old we were playing at the park. I saw a little boy running across the play ground and I had a feeling that there was another little boy that needed to come to our family. I immediately put that out of my mind and could not believe the insanity of the crazy thought!! We were absolutely DONE having kids! I had 4! 2 boys and 2 girls. About as perfect as you could get, NO stinkin' way I was having another. You could ask anyone, I had told them. I told Jared about this ridiculous thought that had crossed my mind and we both laughed.
I started nursing school. With 4 kids, going through nursing school, another baby was the furthest thing from my mind; but a funny thing happened, after I finished, I started to think about it a little bit. I still was not going to have another one, but I have to admit the idea did creep into my mind every now and again. Then the dreams started. I had several dreams that I had another baby BOY. This really got me thinking. I thought about it, but once again, NO WAY!! This went on for several years. It would come into my mind, I would think about it a little bit and then it would go away and I would move on. Jared was not at all on board with the idea of another. He had not had these dreams, but he told me if I felt we needed to we could. I would immediately say no, the last thing I wanted was for him to not want one, but do it just cause I did.
Finally, this last winter we had an awesome experience at church.. I won't go into that, but I just know the Lord is aware of us. We knew we were supposed to have another baby. This was not an easy decision seeing that my baby is 5. I, however, knew that I would never regret having another child, but I would regret NOT having one. We found out in January that we were expecting and then yesterday,,,,,,,The best news of all.......This baby, the one that had filled my dreams for the past 4 years, is indeed a boy! And NO one is more excited than his daddy!
