So a guy walks into a bar...

Actually I don't have a joke to tell, I just can't get over God's sense of humor. I am pregnant again and our little Squirt the 2nd is due October 14, 2010. Whoa. Still can't believe it!
I really struggled with when to start "trying" again. I didn't want back to back babies but I also didn't want them 4+ years apart (in case we struggled with infertility again). Ben was ready for 10 more kids the day Thatcher was born, and he made that very clear every day :) They will be 21 months apart, which isn't that bad, I was hoping for over 2 years but I'm not going to complain. I am super anxious, extremely excited, and just a touch scared. The ONLY thing that really scares me is trying to fit another human being into our tiny home. So, I'm hoping that my family and God will work on Ben's heart to agree to try and sell our home and find something a little bit bigger.

I've been nauseous all day every day and extremely tired, I don't remember being sick with Thatcher at all. And at my ultrasound last week, which was amazing by the way, the baby's heartbeat was 171. Do these signs point to girl? Who knows. I'm not banking on either one. Ben really wants to find out the sex this time, I'm hoping I can talk him out of it over the next few weeks. But I must admit it would be a little exciting to find out this time. We'll see.

Thatcher is doing well, he's had diarrhea the past few days that he caught from church, but his poor little tooshie finally seems to be doing better. Tonight he started something new, coming to Ben and I when we call him for a kiss, and giving us that kiss. MELTED MY HEART.

Thank you Jesus for our struggles and blessings, especially the blessings that come in baby form :)
