BaBy NeWs!

Micah wrote my this sweet letter a few weeks ago!
(I love you mom, I can't (kat) believe you are having a baby)
My master plan was to have all my kids (4) just a year or two apart and be done by 30.
Well plans quickly changed. Sometimes I wonder why, and other times I am grateful.
My kids couldn't be more excited for our new baby to come!
This letter wouldn't have happened if my "master plan" would have worked!

WE CAN'T BELIEVE IT EITHER!

After a nearly 3 year fertility nightmare
we are thrilled to be expecting a new little baby!
It has been a long rough road! We have done everything but invetro to make this a reality. After medications, shots, "procedures," surgery, and even an artificial insemination failed we finally found out we were pregnant in July of this year, only to find out a few days later that the baby did not make it. We were devastated to say the least and gave up all hope. Micah and Halie did not understand. Their repeated questions about why Heavenly Father would take our baby away were heart wrenching.
Well apparently someone knew I was at the end of my rope! I couldn't take the heart break another month! We found out a month and a half later that I was 6 weeks pregnant!
What a miracle!

It was touch and go for the first nine weeks, we were scared and worried that I would miscarry again, hence the reason we have not told many people until now that I am pregnant!
Now that I am passed the miscarry stage I feel like
we can finally share this great news!

So we took the kids to the doctors this week to find out
wether we are expecting a boy or girl!
Someone was bound to be devastated! Halie wants a girl...
Micah just knows its a boy!

Family Guesses:
8 Boy/ 7Girl

ME: Boy (I am always wrong so I thought that meant it would be a girl!)
Jeff: I don't know
Little Micah: BOY (Since day one!)
Halie: Girl (Until we found out then she changed her guess!)
Grandma Ruth: Girl (last minute change)
Papa: Boy
Grandma Rhea: Boy
Grandpa Jim: Boy
Matt: Both
Becky: Girl
Megan: Girl
Mike:Boy
Marc: Boy (don't even need an ultra sound he was so sure)
Janelle: Boy
Micah: Girl
Whitney: Girl
Cara: Boy
Ashley: Girl
Tennille: Girl
Cooper: Boy

IT'S A BOY!

And we couldn't be HAPPIER! Now on to shopping for this new little guy!
