Bob and I enjoyed a great 5 days in Emeryville at a hotel compliments of mom and dad (and Aunt Kay for groceries!!) and while we were there we went into Baby Gap. I was looking at all the adorable baby clothes and Bob held up this precious little girl's outfit. As we were leaving he said, "You know your pregnant, right?" "HA" I believe was my response! I just told him that he was funny even though the thought had crossed my mind.
Unfortunately I had no idea when my last period was so there was no way for me to figure out if I was late or not. Plus, with Cade it took FOREVER (okay, I was like 3 days late) for that second pink line to show up! So, when we got home I knew I had a pregnancy test in our medicine cabinet. I thought, this is dumb for me to be taking this because even if I am pregnant, it will not show up yet. Well... sure enough!!! Less than 60 seconds later... 2 PINK LINES!!! I think I have looked at the test like 100 times... it seems so surreal. I think my immediate excitement is more extreme the second time around only because I had NO CLUE what to expect with Cade. I wanted to be pregnant so badly and was so stoked that I was, but I almost didn't believe it! With this little 'Sweet Pea' I know what to expect and I know how much love is going to overwhelm me more every day! It is so amazing!!
Okay, back to the story... So, I immediately ran to the top of the stairs and yelled down at Bob (I have no idea how women wait and wrap a present!! I am entirely too impatient for that!) "Baby can you come here?? QUICKLY!" He said, "Well, I don't know about quickly, but I'm coming." I'm literally bouncing and head into our room. He follows me in and I (shaking like a leaf) hand him the test. He immediately looks at me, I squeal and we hugged... like 4 times. Cade wasn't sure what was going on, he just knew he was getting squished!
We skyped in with mom and dad... grandma screamed and grandpa asked if we knew what caused that! LOL! So, after calling Grandma (Redding), Aunt Kay and a few others... on went the BU2 picture!!
Esther wrote Surprise on my belly and we took the picture!! Rolf said, "Well, this is proof that something amazing is on the horizon!"
We are so overwhelmingly excited to be having another baby! We all so far think it is a girl (including daddy, who is rarely wrong!) but just like with Cade... we will be SO happy with either! The kiddos will be 18 months apart, we think! I believe that I am due at the beginning of October, but I don't know that for sure. If that is true, I am 5 weeks pregnant now!
We have no idea what the next 9 months hold or what our life will look like when this little one is born. That aspect of it is a bit scary, but we know that God knows and that he is in control. We are going to start speaking truth and life over my belly daily. We continue to contend for Cade's perfect hearing and believe that this little one will have PERFECT hearing in Jesus name!!
We love yall and thank you so much for the prayers, support and encouragement!
