Announcing Baby #5

Well I went to the doctor yesterday and it’s confirmed, we are having another baby. Kyle and I have actually known for a few weeks now, we were just waiting for the doctor appointment to get an official due date before spreading the word. The due date is 28 June 2009. That makes me about 7 1/2 weeks along. We are very excited, and Ethan has been asking for another baby for awhile now, and the kids of course are excited. Dinah as expected is oblivious, but that is ok. We announced the news to the kids on Sunday and immediately Tyra ran over to me and asked “where’s the bump?” we had to explain that the baby is no bigger than one inch right now and is hiding in my belly.

We weren’t planning on having another baby at this current time, but obviously Heavenly Father has His own plans and at times they differ from our own plans. And when they differ, that is when Heavenly Father’s plan is chosen over our own. We know that this is what course our lives are to be taking at the current time and therefore we will be blessed for our faithfulness. I know that life is stressful for us right now with just the four kids, and Kyle working two jobs. But I know without a doubt that this is Heavenly Father’s plan. Another spirit is waiting to join our family and NOW is when that needs to happen. I know that Heavenly Father will help us through our trials, and they will seem as a small moment when we look back on them. I am excited for the future, and look forward to whatever the future may hold.
