So, Today I got some very exciting news. I went into my OBGYN for a follow up for some cysts that I have been following. It has decreased in size that was was very good news. After a blood draw, and about a 2 hour wait, they called to confirm what I already knew. I am now officially expecting baby #4! I am so excited, and so scared at the same time. You know, the new Mom scared, where you wonder if the baby is going to be okay. That is all I want - a healthy baby! We will be telling my family this weekend and waiting until we go to England in April to tell my husband's family in person. They tested my HCG level today it was 55.8% and they will retest it in 48 hours and than once I reach 2000 iu/l we will have an ultrasound. That way we will have a picture to show to everyone in England. We hesitate to tell anyone in case something goes wrong, but we have no reason to believe it will. I guess no-one thinks that they will until they do, and than that all changes. I pray that we won't have that to deal with.
We await my Andy's testing next week to figure out what is going on with his stomach and I pray that all remains well. God is Good and truly knows the desires of our hearts. Amen!

Been a while.......
So it has been a while since I have last posted. There has been a lot going on and time just got away from me. We had 2 of our babies turn 5 within the last few weeks, so that was exciting - in case that looks weird - my stepson and my daughter are the same age - exactly 1 week apart, so they both turned 5 recently. My mother had to have a cardiac procedure done yesterday, but thank God, it was nothing. The latest is that my husband is having some issues that we are tackling head on, and though it is scary, and I will share more later, and only what he allows me to, I am confident God will bring us through this as well.
We made a decision a few weeks ago that we are going to bite the bullet (even though we really can't afford to) and take a trip to England. My husband's grandmother is not well, and we need to get to see her. This brings up a few issues - we cannot afford to take all of the children, but we also have no-where to leave the baby for a 2 week trip. My mother works so she can not have her. My stepson will stay with his Mom, while my 2 from my first marriage stay between my parents (on weekends), his parents and his place. We have decided to take the baby, mainly because we have no-where to leave her and because we do not need to pay for a ticket for her - she is under 2 and will be on our laps for the 8 hour plane ride to England. A few days after we made up our minds that we were going, we got word from England that Nana had a heart attack and was in the hospital. It appears that she is going to pull through as she is doing much better, but is dealing with other things on top of it. She was also diagnosed with MRSA yesterday, I am asking for prayer that she heal and recouperate so that we can spend loads of time with her whilst we are over. So I am excited and terrified all at the same time. I have never flown this far, nor been away from my babies for this long, so please pray for me as well.
In other news, we have had more cutbacks at our work, and it is not going over well. I have not been effected directly, but lots of friends and associates have and that is a hard one for the team to take. Because the positions in our department have not been effected, there are a lot of forced smiles and a lot of tension, so please also pray for that situation. God be real to all of us!
