There has been a roller coaster of events since 2012 has started. It has been such a wonderful year so far with Aaron's CSO graduation on January 6th, our big move to Arkansas on January 9th, and now our surprising news on January 22nd that we are expecting another baby. It is interesting how life turns out sometimes. Life comes with planning and surprises. During our years of marriage, we have learned to take things as they come and plan accordingly. One thing that we have made a plan for was our children. It took us 6 months before we were able to get pregnant with both Lilie and Marlie. We had actually come to almost a full consensus that we weren't going to have any more kids. That choice is obviously not what is in store for us. We are definitely thrilled and a little shocked that one time of not being careful resulted in a big surprise. This experience has just confirmed that Heavenly Father knows what is in store for us and his plan is far greater than our plan. When I took the pregnancy test, as I sat it down on the cupboard to wait for the results, I could see no sign that it would show up positive. Aaron pulled me away from it and sat with me for the full 3 minutes. He asked if he could look at it first and see if I could guess by his expression. I thought, 'of course I'm going to guess that it's negative because that's where I saw it going'. After the 3 minutes, he went over and picked it up and stared at it blankly not trying to give anything away. I told him it was negative, then I noticed his eyes were welling up with tears and I said, "NO WAY!". I ran over to look at it and it was clear as day POSITIVE! I could feel the rush of emotion hit me and we both hugged each other a cried. We couldn't believe it, how crazy! We are super excited and can't wait for another baby in our family!
