Wow!

Okay, I had no idea we were pregnant when I started this blog. Now that I am getting over the initial shock I think I can focus enough to get started on this.

In case you don't know we found out we are pregnant last Sunday. After 4 years of heartache and frustration God has decided it is the right time to bless us with another child. At this point we are 5 weeks along and I am praying that our child makes it through these beginning stages of life. I seem to be having more pain in the early stages with this one than what I did with Jeffrey. Or maybe I don't remember since it's been so long ago! :) It's nothing major....my body is probably adjusting. And I am 8 years older this time around...maybe that's part of the cause. The first appointment with my doctor is Oct 10th...we get to do an ultrasound on that day! We are excited! I hope my mind will be put to ease once I know how the baby is doing...I've been worried that something will go wrong. In fact I've been hesitant about making this announcement since we are only a few weeks into the pregnancy. Please pray for my peace of mind and that our child is healthy and developing normally. It's probably just the hormones taking over!

Jeffrey is so excited about being an older brother and of course he is hoping for a baby brother. Shane and I, on the other hand, are secretly wishing for a girl....but would also be totally happy with another little boy.

We have no idea what to do about the adoption. We have still not heard from our case worker from Gladney but we do know they did receive our file. At this point we still have another 2 years of waiting for a child. Why did God lead us to adopt and then decide to give us a biological child? If we did continue with the adoption both this child and our child from Taiwan would be about the same age. Does God think we are capable (physically AND financially) to handle that? We will definitely be doing a lot of praying...more than usual!

Thanks for reading and I will post updates soon!
