I took four pregnancy tests and had convinced myself I was in that small pool of women who get positive pregnancy tests when they start peri-menopause. I cried, and cried (and cried). I still wonder about the how/when. Yet, there came a point, when I began to laugh at all the craziness and know that God has a plan for it all. A beautiful plan. Since Thomas came home, I still worry some how it will all work, but in the end I know that God has got this all and will carry us all through the transitions.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11571439982499787798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039084287472642442.post-34316686187490833042016-03-08T14:26:38.619-08:002016-03-08T14:26:38.619-08:00This post-AWESOME-and SO what I needed to hear!

My husband was much calmer than I and our 4 boys were super excited and now every day they fight over their 2 month old little sister, whom they prayed for. God certainly knows what he's doing. I'm thankful for that.

As overwhelming as it all felt, I had to just smile through because I wanted a big family to begin with. But I felt so much the same. Thanks for sharing.

I think it is so important to have that little "freak out" and admit that we don't have it together, rather than bottling it up inside under a shield of pride. God likes it when we're honest and willing to give it all to Him. Thank you for being open, honest, and seeking to follow God's crazy path!

I grew so much through that pregnancy and now this little nine month old is pure joy incarnate. He has brought so much beauty and joy and hope and healing to our family in a way that only God could design. Thanks for sharing your story and encouragement because I'm sure it's needed for someone out there right now. May the rest of your pregnancy be healthy and may you have a wonderful birth <3Mary @ Better Than Edenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05409924891343767874noreply@blogger.com
