My grin melted into laughter as I stared down at the parallel purple lines. Pregnant? As my laughter gained momentum Josiah (who of course was in the bathroom with me) started to get the giggles too. We just stared at each other erupting in unbridled laughter and joy. It was a moment I will never forget.
Next, we decided that we needed to make Daddy laugh too. I snagged one of Josiah's white onesies and a permanent marker. On the front I printed "big" and on the back "brother". When Jason got home Josiah was asleep in his crib. I urged Jason to get Josiah up. He was dumbfounded and kept saying "how did this happen?" You'd think he'd know by now.
Together we gave thanks to Jehovah Rapha (God heals) for this precious baby growing inside of me. It is by God's healing touch that two years ago my ovaries were miraculously cleared of dozens of cysts. It is his goodness alone that brings life.
I am 9 weeks along and will not see my doctor for a couple more weeks, but I have estimated the due date March 27th. I am very sick and tired (another blog for another day) but for now join us in rejoicing in this precious gift!

Sooooo thrilled for you guys :). Cute way to tell Jason. What a wonderful surprise. That's funny I was asking you about getting pregnant when you were in CA and you probably already were. I hope you will not be as sick as last time. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Congratulations! That is very exciting news. I hope everything goes well and that the sickness passes soon.

Hooray!! What wonderful joyful news. I hope you have some time to enjoy and celebrate before you get too exhausted. I will definitely be praying for you during the first few months - that sickness is brief and mild. Praise the Lord!
