The equation may look funny, but would be correct. Our family will soon become a family of six! Even though this comes as another major surprise, we couldn't be more overjoyed.
Starting in January, Nate and I began praying to God about what we were going to do regarding children. We were deeply into praying, looking and asking people about foster to adopt an older daughter. Every night we prayed that God would open our eyes as to what He had for our family. Here's the amazing part, Elyse told me around that time she did not want a bigger sister but a baby sister. She specifically asked, "Mom, how do I get a baby sister instead of a bigger sister?" I told her to take it to God in prayer. She did just that everyday at least three to four times a day. The most amazing part is four days after Nate and I took a test, Elyse came up to me (not knowing anything) and said, "Mom, your tummy looks bigger, I think my baby sister is in there." WOW! Yes, we will be finding out and hope that God answers her prayer; but we will be beyond thankful and thrilled with either gender.
Again, we would love to express how we were told by our IVF doctor in 2007 that my eggs were dead and it would be impossible to ever conceive a child biologically or through in-vitro fertilization. So once again God is showing us that He is the one in control and so amazing.
Overall, we are excited to become a family of six in December. We ask that you please pray for a continued healthy baby and pregnancy.
