it's so silly that i post something on Facebook and assume everyone knows...
We are expecting again! we're actually 29 weeks today. Due at the beginning of May. The tech decided we should find out this time and blew our surprise...it's a boy!
It's actually good she blew it because Ben our almost 8 year old was dying to know. He even suggested that he come with us and have them just tell him and we could still be surprised. :) He's such a problem solver. :)
It has been a little weird to know what we're having, in fact I forget to tell people that this baby is a boy. It's been fun to know though. We've had some good laughs about it and it's all good. I love a good story anyway. :)
so, i read over the last few posts and so much of my emotions have come from this pregnancy and i just haven't included that minor detail. :)
it has been a roller coaster ride. lots of ups and downs, pits in my stomach, and times that i wonder if i'll ever get off.
i am getting so excited to meet this little man! i love him already and can't wait to get to know him!
i've been to the Temple and felt Lily close. i know she is watching over me. i still feel so far away from her and wish i were a better person...ya know, more spiritual i guess. i want to know her now. i don't want to wait. but, all in due time.
i volunteer on a marriage committee that plans a marriage celebration at WSU every February and the gal that is the chair of that committee and i were both expecting a baby in May of this year. well, she emailed me and told me that she had gone into labor early, her water broke and the baby was too small to live. it broke my heart to read her email.
just like that, i was on the other end. the one with a baby that's still kicking and so so, sad for my friend.
i spoke with her for several hours a few days later. it was crazy to me to be on the other end. listening, sharing, aching for her. it is probably one of the hardest things we have to do here...see others pain and not be able to take it away. it still was a blessing to be able to talk with her and feel like my experiences could help someone else.
a quote i've come to love by Elder Maxwell comes to mind. "trials...are to increase our capacity for happiness and service".
i was able to, in a small way, serve my friend. i also can't even begin to think about the happiness that awaits when i hold this little guy. i feel like i might burst, i feel so grateful.
(Most pictures of me are blurry because my kids take them. This one was taken by my Valentine. He is good to his girls.)

Congrats!! I am so happy for you. We'll have to get these little boys together to play as I'm about 8 weeks behind you.
