Splash in the Rain Puddles

Another super long blogging hiatus!! I have no excuse for myself! Wait, actually I do. As most of you know by now, there is a third little Willin on the way :) In spite of the seemingly never ending morning sickness, and multiple other not so lovely pregnancy symptoms (sigh), it has taken me all of these last 13 weeks to wrap my head around the reality of this little miracle. In the past, my body has been unable to produce pregnancy hormones making it nearly impossible to get or stay pregnant without the intervention of hormone injections along with many doctor appointments and very close monitoring. Due to all of this we had concluded that we were perfectly content with the blessing of our two boys and decided to not pursue treatment for a third. And then back in February....completely out of the blue.......surprise!!!....a positive pregnancy test. Holy smokes. Definitely the closest I've ever come to hyperventilating. Not really, but it was quite a shocker. Immediately I went to my specialist to figure out if this was real and how my numbers looked. To make a long story a little shorter, we have not had a single issue so far. My hormone levels are right where they need to be, the baby is growing well, and not a single shot has been needed. The doctors are scratching their heads wondering how this is happening. And I can only smile and say "that's just how big and amazing my God is!!". Another miracle. Another mind blowing realization of the power of the God we serve. So we journey on into the second trimester praying I start feeling better soon and making plans for the new arrival in October. And we are thrilled!.......but yikes :)
