Processing....

I'm pretty sure that as soon as I start to make plans for my life, God decides to change things up on me!

I know I haven't blogged for quite a while.  To be honest, I haven't felt like it.  Our whole family has been in a state of 'processing'.  There are some big changes coming our way.   

Yes, that's a positive pregnancy test!

Baby #4 will be joining our little family sometime in May.

This baby was a bit of surprise, but definitely a wonderful surprise.

We currently live in a parsonage (a house the church owns...it's part of the pastor's pay package).   The house is great, but a little small for 4 kids.  We could definitely make it work with 4 kiddos, but we've been thinking about buying a house for the past few months.   It's a scary prospect because as a pastor's family, there is no guarantee of how long we'll live in one place.  I keep thinking that baby #4 is God's way of pushing us towards buying a home....making us take that leap of faith.

I was also thinking about getting a part time job because, honestly, being a SAHM has been really hard for me.   But who wants to hire some pregnant lady who's going to have to take maternity leave in a few months?

So that's what is going on in our household.  I'm about 10 weeks along and feeling pretty gross.  I have no energy, I could sleep at any time.  I'm have nausea off and on most of the day, but I've only vomited a few times.  I just feel gross.  Tired and sick. 

The twins are absolutely ecstatic about a new baby.  They said we should name it Olivia.  I told them we already have an Olivia in our family...they said this would be "baby Olivia".   Ha ha!

I'm going to have four children 4 years old and under.  Deep breaths, deep breaths, and lots of prayer.
