Over ten years ago, Brian and I decided that we were ready to start a family. We figured since we were ready, we'd get down to business and have a baby in the next year. Little did we know that life doesn't work this way. Just because you want something doesn't mean that you get it. We were still waiting for a baby, while everyone around us was popping out babies left and right. At least, that it how it felt.
Three years, one month, and seventeen days after we decided to start trying to have a baby, we were finally blessed with the pregnancy the resulted in our oldest daughter, Emma. Not that we were counting or anything..... Fast forward to 2010 and we find out one random Friday afternoon that we are about to have baby number four. Imagine our shock - the IUD is missing and a baby is chilling in my uterus. It is really almost comical. First, we can't have a baby. Later, we can't stop having babies.
Today, I had the thought that maybe there was a backlog in the prayers we'd sent up ten years ago. God is just now getting around to answering them for us. Maybe I need to put in a stop order? Make sure God realizes that we are QUITE happy with four and we REALLY don't need anymore?
