MERCY AND THE BOYS

Wednesday, April 1, 2009

Well...

You would think that 3 boys is enough for one family. But then, what's one more? And maybe this time God will choose to finally give us a girl. Not that I would know what to do with a girl since everything we have - toys, clothes, experience - is with boys only. If you haven't guessed by now, I'm expecting our 4th child. Funny how God tends to do things so unexpectedly in our lives, isn't it? I'm not usually into these kinds of surprises, but I guess that doesn't really matter, does it? :o) Seriously, though, whatever our 4th child will be, I will be thrilled because ALL children are a gift from God, even 4th boys. :o) What would it be like with 4 boys running around our house? Well, that would be twice the number of boys running around than I have currently (since Micah is not yet running, though that probably won't be long in coming). This soon would mean a definite playmate for Micah since they would be so close in age (Micah is not yet 9 months). Speaking of 9 months, I'm not so sure how I feel about being pregnant again, especially so soon. I already feel like I'm getting so old! Carrying around 30-40 extra pounds (not including carrying Micah also), is not an easy task. But God will give me the strength I need to do what I need to do. This is just so unexpected... He IS the giver of good gifts!

Was I convincing enough for you? April Fool's! I am so not pregnant. Sorry. I just couldn't resist today. :o)

  3. We almost had a heart attack. You got us real good. Not that we wouldn't be happy but we just thought you were rushing things abit. We mostly were concerned for your health since you have had a struggle with these infections. Dad said he is ready to whip you.
    We are glad this was just a joke at least for now. We love you but just remember we're getting older by the day and our hearts aren't what they use to be so try not to give us too many jolts.
    We look forward to our visit with you soon.
    Mom and Dad

  4. Wow. I was reading this just today, so I was totally buying it and thinking, oh man. 4 kids. That's A LOT! And I'm all convincing myself that it's okay and you're okay and it will be so great for you, etc. Then I read that it's april fools. Gosh, I think if I'd read it on 4/1, I would have guessed that, but nearly 2 weeks later. Well, let's just say that you fooled me. Good grief.
