8.9.12

just a few months after baby calvin was born, i longed for another baby.. crazy right?
 i have always wanted a large family, and to have my children close together.

with that being said.. 

tonight we had some family pictures taken and i had the thought to take a pregnancy test because it would be fun to look back at these pictures and know that was the night we found out about baby #2. i took a test a few days ago and it was negative.. but decided to take another one tonight (thank you dollar store for cheap hcg tests). well, it was slow to show, and pretty faint but there was a line. i ran downstairs to show josh because i wasn't sure if i was looking so hard, it made the line appear.. but he saw it too! it was real.

the estimated due date is april 14th.. which will make them 21 months apart.

we are so excited and feel so blessed. 

like we did with c, one of the first things we did after seeing the positive test was kneel as a family in prayer and thank our heavenly father for this sweet blessing.
