Round Three

This is NOT what I planned. This is not what I expected. This is NOT what I'm ready for! My last post consisted of the amazing journey of welcoming our second child into this great big wonderful world. It's been six mos. Nicholas is 11 mos old now. I should be preparing for a first birthday party for our little man. I should be getting ready to hit the gym hard core to get back to my pre-baby body. I should be planning on our summer trips to tube the "Hooch" and paint Nana's house and camp in the Redwoods and be in a wedding and...you get the idea. It's amazing how our plans seem to get pushed aside by God's plan. We are pleased to share the new plan! Evidently, The Lord feels it best to add another member to the Slegers family. We will be welcoming another baby into our family some time in the late fall. (Oct-Nov) I've got to tell up the thoughts that flood through my mind at this point are totally pregnancy thoughts. Crazy, irrational, selfish thoughts. Yes, I'm sick. Yes, I don't do pregnancy well. But, as my dear husband reminded me, I am pregnant and there is a reason. So here we go for round three. The whole family is excited! Collin keeps praying for mommy to not get the throw ups anymore. He thinks its going to be so cool to have TWO babies in the house. "'Cause Nicholas is going to be a big baby and the new baby is gonna be little!" Obviously, Nicholas is indifferent on the matter as he still feels the world revolves around him. Chris is excited for new life,but concerned for his bride's well-being! (Aww) Gramma is excited and already suggesting we give each child their own room! She's so cool! 'Sure! Take over the whole house!' Haha So now you have the news. Good news. What a blessing to know The Lord entrusts us with his children.
