Here We Go...Again

Okay. So I don't think I quite done the job of expressing just how huge these last few weeks have been for us...that is between thinking we know what lies ahead for us to having that completely blown into another direction, taking a new HUGE job, finding out I no longer have to work but can relaxingly stay at home with my little man...a lot of big changes for us, all ones that we are incredibly excited about and feel overwhelmingly blessed by God to have a chance at some of these new opportunities.
But perhaps there was also another "change" I have yet to discuss till now. A change that was also brewing in the midst of all the above...did I mention we had our next 5 years planned??? Scratch the planning folks, cause I now want to introduce you to something that keeping us consistent with the latest trend in our lives:
To backtrack, Jason came home from work (in Siloam) one day a couple of weeks ago and exclaimed with a smile on his face "Babe - I have some news for you!"
My response was "Funny, cause I have news for you..."
His, of course was that Bentonville had called and wanted to negotiate his coming there as head coach.
I smiled cause his surprise fit in perfectly with mine. So what was my surprise that day????



No joke people. I know it feels like two months ago I was as large as a barn, sweating and peeing out my ears, and waddling like a fat duck, but it's true. I'm pregnant AGAIN!
Now check out God's timing: We always said no matter what, when we had an other kid, we would MAKE IT WORK so that I could stay at home. And the same day I found out I was pregnant was the SAME day God made that work out with Jason 's new job. God is GOOOOOD!!!
And for those of you doing the math, our little tiger's will be 15 months apart. I like to consider it the best of having twins without having to carry them at the same time. :)
So here we go again!
Today was my first appointment.
I'm 9wks 2days
Due date: February 10th
Starting weight: 114
And everything looked perfect so far!!!!!!!
