So, after a week of wondering if we were pregnant, it is confirmed! We have 4 positive pregnancy tests, as if 1 or 2 was not enough! Lance and I found out Friday night that we were expecting our first child. I do not know a due date yet, and I don't really know how far along I am, I just know that we got 4 positives! We told our parents, our siblings, our grandparents, our greatgrandparents, our friends and each were elated!
We shared the news with Lance's mom and dad first. They were thrilled. We then went to my mom's and shared the news with her and RG! They could not believe it! I went to tell my dad and Donna and my dad jumped with joy! My mom went with me to tell Ali and she cried tears of joy! More were told yesterday and each response was much the same. Our grandparents found out they would be greatgrandparents and our great-grand-parents found out they would be GREAT-Great-Grand-Parents! God has blessed us with 4 grandmothers, 1 great-grandmother and 1- great-grandfather!
I cannot even begin to explain what I am feeling other than a huge mix of emotions. I feel good; I feel beyond blessed! I know that this child is God's will for our lives and that we will somehow learn how to be parents. We are parents now to Kirby and she has been our baby for 6 years so hopefully a baby will fit right in to our mix. I start my new job tomorrow but I won't be sharing this news right away. I think I will wait till I am about 12 weeks along to tell them.
ANNIE!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am SO excited for you and Lance! You definitely win the award for the best first blog post ever! :)
ReplyDeleteHi darling, it's papa. Kus want to drop by and tell you how thrilled I am that you and Lance will become parents. It is a journey that is full of extremes, joy, curiosity, growth and plenty of opportunities to ask for guidance from above. We dont get instruction manuals with the little darlings so expect this, Wonder, Wonder what we do here, Wonder what we do there, the wonder of new life and wonder of how that life changes us and how life chagnes the new born.
ReplyDeleteI have faith in you and Lance, this will be an excellant addition to the earth and with it, God says, I wish to grow the right chilren up.
Love ya,
papa
