Maybe it's for my own mind's sake, to get this off my chest, or maybe it's to clear up a few rumors...
Yes, the Lord has blessed us with a pregnancy!
Nothing is wrong (that we know) with our child, as a someone asked a friend of mine.
We are all so very excited!
And I don't mind talking about it, (as I heard today I did). If fact if you are with us, one of my children will most likely bring it up! But read below to find out which questions I find really annoying.
What I dislike is the comments people say, the questions they ask and why they think it is any of their business. So if I have offended you by not offering all the details, I am sorry. Don't get me wrong, I am very appreciative of the amount of people who have contacted us out of a sincere heart to congratulate us. I am humbled by the people who have said they have been praying for us, I am blessed to have so many wonderful Christian friends.
I will not be adding to 'My Story' until this portion is complete. Someday though, I promise, I will write it all out. I will include the verses I held on to and the verses God spoke to me. It is an amazing journey we have been on. I have prayed for many years for God to open my womb. I new deep with in my heart He would. I didn't know when, but I never gave up hope!

Now, maybe you need a laugh, because we have laughed over these comments many times...
What never to say to a pregnant mom or a mom who is pregnant after 10 years of infertility...
*Wow, you finally found something that worked. (yes, if you'd really like to know we did it upside down, hanging from the lights, with my fingers in my ears, just kidding)
*Did you do it naturally this time? (no comment, just don't ask that question!)
*You're gaining weight (duh I am suppose to)
*How much weight have you gained? and Is that normal? (is that your business???)
*Did you just find out? (yeah, had no clue, this tummy bump looks completely normal to me)
*How did you know? (a pregnancy test, duh)
*When did you find out? (if you must know, after the positive test when 'aunt flo' didn't show)
*Can I rub your belly? (no!)

Congratulations! What wonderful news. Thank you for sharing it warmed my heart on this chilly Friday morning. It also made me chuckle with your answers to the "stupid" questions people ask. You just have to wonder if people actually THINK before the speak! Congratulations again and enjoy this WONDERFUL journey.
Congratulations! I was so excited when I saw the "baby countdown" and I quickly scrolled down the blog to see if it was true. Why else would you have it on the blog right?! Duh.. I love your list of comments. It is truely amazing what kinds of things people allow to come out of their mouths.
I love your comments. People really don't think before they speak. It is really hard to let questions like that go!
Thanks for sharing...and I am TRULY so excited for you. That is so awesome!
