Funny? You think it could never happen. But when it does, you are in shock and awe. I have intentionally waited to blog about this because I was trying to process this one. What happens when 1.5 years after the surgery that should keep your family from growing - doesn’t work? Well, it’s true. I’m 41 and my wife is 42 and we are expecting our third child (go ahead, you can laugh – it’s really funny if it’s not you). Shock doesn’t even begin to describe it. I know God’s will is perfect and His timing is perfect but I still haven’t wrapped my brain around this one. It didn’t take me long to add it up. I’ll be 60 when the baby graduates from High School. Boy, do I feel old!
“All things work together for the good…” is more than just a verse. We are living it. Even though I don’t see it, I am walking by faith and not by sight. Our faith is strong and our family resilient.
Did you know that there is only a 0.1 % chance of failure in that surgery?
Wow!!!! There is no way that is not a God thing, but I am sure you two are indeed in shock. I know this is a stressful time for you with Lori having been layed off and all, too. God has such a sense of humor, but He is always faithful to provide for us. I am super happy for you guys. I bet the girls are ecstatic! Do you know a due date yet?
This is so amazing!! I’m sure you guys have so many emotions right now, but you said it, God’s timing is perfect. We don’t understand sometimes, but you know it is God. We love you guys, and can’t wait to hear what you are having. Another sweet girl, or an outstanding little guy. We may have to make a trip to meet this little one!! (We didn’t know about Lori getting laid off, we will be praying)
How wonderful! Just wanted to send our congratulations! We are in a bit of a shock too – only we were just told we are going to be grandparents!
Luv you guys!!!!
