New things in the new year

Well, we have some fun and interesting news in our family. Last month we decided it was time to continue to grow our family. Since Jacob and I have been back together, we really struggled with the idea because we were scared of us not making it. We have finally made it to a point where we are both actually trying at the same time. It makes a world of difference!! Things have been going really good with us. So, we decided to give it a shot. And well, it took. The first time!! We are pregnant. Barely, but pregnant. I am only about 4 1/2 weeks right now so it is still so early to be talking about it. But, I have faith that this precious little baby will continue to grow and develop. It was really hard in 2006 when I miscarried at 12 weeks, so it is really hard to get my hopes up. I haven't been to the OB/GYN yet, but I did confirm it with my regular doctor... gotta get referrals with the great Tricare insurance... So, from what I can tell, my due date is September 25th. The thing that stinks is that Jacob will be gone the ENTIRE pregnancy. He will be gone to Ft. Sill for 6 weeks and then to Missouri for 12 weeks. He gets back right before the due date. So, this summer, if anyone wants to come visit me and hang out, I would LOVE it!! We are soooo excited. We weren't going to tell the kids this early, but Jacob spilled the beans to Garrett this weekend. And get this... funny... Garrett's mom is pregnant too. She is 4 weeks ahead of me, so Garrett will have 2 new siblings within a month of each other. He is excited. He said that he hopes at least one of them is a boy. Well, thats it for now. Please pray for us and this little precious baby!
