A Very Important Update

Dear Friends and Family,
We have some wonderful news to share as a side bar to our adopting. I am expecting a baby in April!!!!!!! We are absolutely thrilled. This does not change our plans to adopt. We have been hoping for this pregnancy for quite some time. I was signed up for a PRACS study and did the screening. It is a place where they pay you to test medications for them. You are actually testing how they break down not how they work. I only do drugs that are safe and on the market but they always pregnancy test you every step of the way. I had the screening on a Friday and the next Wednesday I got a call from the Pracs nurse which has never happened on any of my five previous studies. I was so excited and she was trying to break it to me carefully. There are a lot of college kids doing these studies. Anyway, I called Kevin and told him I couldn't do the study. He was so happy. When he got home I asked him how many people he told. He said just a few:) I knew he couldn't keep it to himself. In church on Sunday, Darrell asked if anyone had something special happen they wanted to share so Kevin wants to tell. I kind of want to wait until I'm 9-12 weeks along. He told everyone but decided to wait on telling family. Well, we have three families from Wyndmere in our church so it did get back to his family and we feel terrible but are happy to be free to spread the news around now. So God willing we will expand our family by four this next year.

Other good news is we are having the second part of the home study on Thursday evening. We are happy to make it past another step of the process. Pray for me as I try to decide what is important to clean and what to let be. I am trying to can tomatoes and pack for a camping trip we are going on Friday through Monday. Yikes! Another busy week. I think I thrive on it though. God Bless You for caring to read this.

For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are your works and that my soul knows very well. Psalms 139:13-14

Congrats to you. God has blessed you indeed! I came across your blog through the bentons blog. I have one too if you want to check it out. Wow are you busy. I am so blessed my mom does all the canning at our place. I am gearing up for preschool as well. Do you use a currc. for it or a little of this and that? Have a great day your fellow agathelian Aimee S.
