A Surprise and Blessing from God

So check out this picture...this is what we saw Wednesday afternoon....

Yep thats a POSITIVE pregnancy test!

This was a complete and total shock and surprise to Jason and I. We were not planning on trying to get pregnant for a while but it looks like God has other plans. Now just to be totally honest Wednesday I was not handling the news like I should have. I should have been just thrilled and excited but I honestly just felt scared and anxious and just dumbfounded. I mean sometimes you can try to prevent but nothing is 100% fool proof. Who would have thought that this would happen? We were told just a few years ago that we wouldn't be able to have children on our own without medical intervention. Well miss Addison Grace is proof that wasn't so, but still. Because it took us so long to get our sweet baby girl we never would have thought that we would get pregnant so soon and without even trying. So that alone is in and of itself a great miracle. Today I am truly excited and feel so extremely blessed to have God give us yet another miracle, another child. For Him to entrust us in the care of another life is scary and awesome! We would ask that you would help us pray for this new miracle and pray for our family. It will be an exciting rest of the year!

Here is a picture of Addison wearing her "Big Sister" shirt. We put this on her and took her to see my mom, (Mamaw Joan), and sent a picture of it to my dad, (Grandad), and my brother, (Uncle William), and thats how we shared the news with them.

Yeah, she looks so thrilled to know she's gonna be a big sister! LOL

I will keep you updated and posted as the pregnancy progress. My first doctor's appointment is May 7th and they will do an ultrasound. Thanks in advance for your prayers! Love to all!
