Nate and I found out on Friday that we are expecting a new baby. This is not a fertility baby either. I went to the doctor a few months ago and he verified that I should not be able to get pregnant on my own, so when we are ready we could start the fertility process again. We had decided to wait until the girls were almost 2 to start trying and by the time they were 3 we would hopefully have another set of twins (boys hope, hope). Well, god had other plans. I had been sick for the last week, but we both thought it was just the flu. I had been joking around with Nate whenever we went to the stores and passed the baby/maternity sections, just to get a rise out of him. It didn't work, but I still tried. On Friday I decided to just take a test on a whim. When it turned out positive I had to check the directions, the expiration date, and jump in and out of the tub at least 3 times before it sunk in. I tried to call Nate, but his cell phone was dead. I went to the doctors office that afternoon and they confirmed it was true. Since I am a bit irregular we aren't sure exactly how far along I am. We'll get an ultrasound just before Thanksgiving to help determine how many (ha ha) and how far along. Yes, I know I'm done for, I'll have at least 3 kids under the age of two, no hair, and no sanity. What an awesome life and experience!!!! The girls will be turning 1 in 1week and we are very excited to say that both girls are now walking. Abigail is sure footed, while Alyssa just started on Saturday to finally take 5 steps on her own. They are great joys and royal pains all in 2 packages. Wish us well, we may need it.

YEA!!!!!! I thought for sure you had gotten a dog or something but I am sooooo happy for you guys!!! That is amazing, but not uncommon! I have had friends in a similar situation that had to adopt because even fertility wouldn't work and then they got pregnant on a whim! Congrats! I'm hoping for a boy :0)
Congratulations!!! I'm SOO excited for you guys! Let us know when you're due when you find out. Say hi to Nate!
Oh my gosh!!! I am so excited for you. I agree, you might need a padded room to lock yourself in. j/k You will be fine. Isn't it amazing how our heavenly fathers plan reveals itself to us sometimes. I know that I live kinda far away if you ever need anything just holler.
Shannon- congrats! Your family is beautiful. I can't believe you drove through Des Moines! I wish I would have known you were going to be in the area. It would have been fun for you to come over and catch up on life. Hope you're doing well.
I can't believe you are going to have 3 kids under 2. You deserve an award or an all expense paid vacation. You've done such a great job with your twins that I don't doubt you can handle it. We are really excited for you. Congrats!
