Ok, I am a little bit hesistant to share this, but I hope that through this God receives the glory!

Josh and I thought about a year and a half ago that we were ready to have another baby. We started trying in December of 2007, and after 13 months, 2 rounds of Clomid (fertility drug) and Metformin to help me ovulate we finally stopped trying! January of 2009 I decided that trying to conceive was consuming my life, and I was missing just enjoying life and all it had to offer. Josh and I decided that this would be a good time for me to go back to work teaching, so I have gotten my certification renewed and am currently working at the YMCA. Our plan was that we would start trying again in August or September that way I could complete a full year of teaching before we had the baby, God willing that we would have another one.

God's ways are not our ways, and he is TRULY the ONLY giver of life! I took fertility medicine for 6 months and was not pregnant!

However...

To our surprise, we are now expecting our second child!
~
We are really excited, unsure of how the next year is going to unfold for me regarding work, blessed beyond measure, and full of wonder and awe at a God so great and amazing!

I am fairly early, but if you know me you know I CANNOT keep a secret! I went to the doctor today, and I am 6 weeks and 2 days. I am due February 3, 2010. Hudson will be almost 3 1/2 when the new baby comes. He is really excited even though I don't think he fully understands what is to come. Tonight he laid his head on my belly and said, "Hey baby." *sigh* He melts my heart!

I am still a little bit heartbroken for those of you that I know who are struggling with infertility. I remember how hard it was hearing (from everyone it seemed) that they were pregnant when I wanted so badly to be pregnant. Know that I am still praying for you!

Our precious baby #2!
*Being that it is still so early, I have not told work yet, so if you happen to work with me please keep this a secret. :-) Thank you.
