Little Miracles II

Well if you can imagine from the title God has blessed us again with another child.  It is unique that for  2 people who would like to plan a family in our own time that God has a different one in mind. The really funny thing is, when I was single and planning out my life (as I'm sure a lot of single women do, or not it might just be me) I had originally thought my children would be roughly 1 to 2 years apart.  I wanted a large family if I was to get married and apparently God thinks that is my calling as well.  But now that I am married and have one child already...a large family all at once can seem overwhelming.  But can I really be upset when God gives me what I asked for.  How did I know when I was single that being a wife and mother would have its challenges.  I guess the saying goes, "be careful what you wish for" But I am glad that our children are going to be close in age.  I do hope that they will be close friends, as there is nothing like have a brother/sister as a best friend.

Speaking of Baby #2 what a little stinker.  We were all excited about our ultrasound as we were going to find out if we are having a boy or girl.  Well as you can imagine that did not happen.  Brian and I both like to know what is coming our way as it makes it so much easier to plan for a new baby.  I know some people prefer to wait until delivery to find out what they are having as it is a beautiful surprise from all the hard work of labor. It just makes it hard for a person who likes to plan and be organized...and no surprises!!!  But I resign the fact that Baby #2 is just as stubborn as her mother.  We are 90% sure of the sex as only one is difficult when it comes to behavior at the ultrasound but without the last 10% I cannot give myself over to naming the baby.  It is frustrating not knowing for sure but like all challenges of this kind I know not to get too worked up about it.  It is just another one of those "go with the flow" moments.
