Baby #4 is on the way!!!!

Just had to announce the pending arrival of our newest addition to our family! Yay! I am so excited! I've been waiting for my husband to say, "OK," for nearly 2 years now, so this was a long-awaited gift. We give thanks to God for His gift of this new life. The girls are SO excited! Lydia's our little Mommy-in-training, so she insists she's going to help change diapers and hold the baby. Rebekah is excited but not exactly sure what to think as far as what it will do to her status in the family. Abigail has no idea what's going on, but she does know "baby Mommy tummy." :P She's so cute. Not everyone has quite figured it out yet, or even seen the announcement in their emails, but fortunately, no one checks my blog, so it's not a bad thing. :D

Anyway, so I am tired, hungry, and cranky (husband says "very cranky" but I don't agree), sometimes crying or on the verge of crying for no apparent reason, and my back aches occassionally. That and I have to pee a lot... LOL But it's all worth it. Yippee! I love being pregnant, and while I don't like the pain that goes along with birth, I actually do love that, too. Just seeing (and feeling) the tiny miracle emerge that God has graciously put into our hands to love and care for, the trust that He has in us that we can do this (and with 4, I'm a little nervous), it just makes me think, Wow. He really loves us and creates us exactly how He wants us to be for our whole lives, exactly perfect for what He has in store for us here on earth, with a soul that is ready to serve Him. He trusts us to lead this child, to teach him/her the way he/she should go, so that he/she will not turn from God. That's a big responsibility. We are responsible for our childrens' faith.

OK, anyway, I must be tired. I'm babbling and my eyes are closing. Bedtime for me!
