Will and I have been married for a little over 3 1/2 years and last year was the first year of our marriage that we did not have an addition to our little family. The 1st addition was Rory, a little grey 6 week old kitten we adopted at the Humane Society. After Rory came Maddie, our big, sweet Newfoundland. And then on a whim one day Will came home from work with Gidget, a really sweet, mellow 6 month old dilute-tortie kitten.
During the past 2 1/2 years, Will and I have been hoping for a not-so-furry addition to our family. After a lot of disappointment, tears, specialists and surgery we were ready to pursue an adoption of the human kind. We decided to wait a little longer and take some time to mourn the loss of our dream of having our own biological children.
In light of all of that, we are so thankful to God to be able to announce that we are expecting. I am 14 weeks pregnant! (15 weeks tomorrow.) God willing, we will be meeting our little one somewhere around June 29th. We are hoping to find out the sex from my next ultrasound on January 31st. Will thinks it's a girl and I think it is a boy. So, at least one of us will be right :)
There's a lot that we need to take care of over the next 25 weeks and we covet your prayers. The main thing right now is that Will needs a better job with better hours and significantly more compensation. We are both beginning to feel the pressure of the time-crunch and are starting to experience more anxiety and stress.
Please pray:
1) For a healthy baby
2) For a better job for Will
3) That we will look to God and trust that He will be faithful to provide for ALL of our needs
Thank you!
