As much as you want to plan your life, it has a way of surprising you with unexpected things that will make you happier than you originally planned. But it is exactly how God planned it. 

Baby number 2 due December! 

We couldn't be more nervous and excited! 

Oliver turned 6 months the day I found out I was 5 weeks pregnant with this little one. One question I know many will ask us is, "we're you planning on another this soon?" The answer is, absolutely not. Yet after feeling off for a week or so and then walking past the pregnancy tests in Walmart, I just felt like I should test just for piece of mind. I held off until that night because I knew there was no way I could be pregnant. I took the test then went and check on Oliver who was asleep in his rocker, and when I returned, sure enough there was a very pronounced positive on the test. I instantly started shaking and this knot built up in my chest. Tyson was outside and I opened our backdoor and called out for him in the shop. At first he told me to come out to him. And in a stern but soft voice I asked him to come inside again. He quickly walked up the stairs and nervously I handed him the test. Tears were in my eyes as he asked me what it meant. I said that I was pregnant again and with a grin on his face he excited but nervously said really?! I burst into tears and asked him to go get a digital test just to make sure. While he went back to Walmart, I took another and without hesitation the test immediately turned positive. I sat there on the bathroom floor shocked and patiently waited for my dear husband to return. Upon his arrival I took that test and we both watched as the timer spun. After a few minutes it popped up positive. I asked him, how could this happen? We were on the pill, Oliver is way too young, this isn't possible. I'm not ready for another child. I mean we joked about it all the time and always asked Oliver if he was having a brother or a sister next, but I never thought it would actually happen to me. The rest of the night we talked about the future and how hard it is going to be, I'm never going to sleep again, and it's like we are going to have twins. Sick to my stomach still, I prayed. We prayed together. Tyson told me that as hard as this is and as judgmental as people will be, this is the Lords plan. Not mine. Over the past few weeks I've thought long and hard about how I will tell people. At first I wanted to keep it a secret, but I knew the word would get out one way or another. Tyson and I know and feel the love that we already have for this baby, and know that our Heavenly Father knew this baby needed to be down on earth and he chose us to be it's parents. I am honored to have been given such a great calling. We cannot wait to meet this precious baby and to have our family grow another two feet. Even though this has been very unexcpected for us, we try not to to get discouraged and know for a fact that things will work out. For this is the Lords plan.
