In January, Josh and I participated in a 21 day corporate fast with our church family. We chose to fast from television over the 3 week period. During that time, God taught us so much. We grew as individuals and grew as a couple. The fast will be a milestone in both of our spiritual journeys, but it will also be a milestone in our journey as a family.
Towards the end of the fast, we found out some exciting news...
We are THRILLED that God has given us another precious child! What a sweet, sweet blessing.
Our big news was starting to get out and since we wanted to be the ones who got to share about the baby, we are telling a couple of weeks early. :) We are so happy to finally let our secret out! I think it will feel more real now that people know.
We are THRILLED that God has given us another precious child! What a sweet, sweet blessing.I am 10 weeks today!
We are due on September 27th!
Brody is so excited about being a Big Brother, even if he doesn't have it all figured out yet. He will come up and hug my belly and say, "ooohhh babeeee!" It is too precious for words.
In case you were curious, the baby is due just 6 days before Brody's 2nd birthday!
Our big news was starting to get out and since we wanted to be the ones who got to share about the baby, we are telling a couple of weeks early. :) We are so happy to finally let our secret out! I think it will feel more real now that people know. I seriously cannot believe WE ARE HAVING A BABY!!!
Thank you, Lord, for this sweet, new life!
The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.

Congrats!!! That is SO exciting!! =) Your blog looks great too! Oh, and PS - We did date 1 this weekend. It was a BLAST! We went to a local pizza place and told the girl we wanted half the pizza to be one thing, and the other half something else (that was our stipulation)...and that she had to pick what each side was! We tried some new things, had a great talk, and really had such a good time! Thanks again for passing on the great date information! =)
Congrats! Thats so exciting! Love the new blog header too! Very classy!

Well looking here! Congrats!!! 2 babies are fabulous! Mine are 20months apart and I love it!
Congrats! that is great. I am expecting our 3rd Oct 4th. I will be 10 weeks on Thursday. I love it. I will also have 2 birthdays in one month. My son will be 5 Sept 4th and I am due Oct 4th, but always go 9 days early. I hope you have been feeling great. Congrats.
Congratulations! So exciting! I am a little biased but I think 2 year spacing is perfect! Infact, I liked it so much we did it again with #3 who is due in August! Actually, we were a little too acurate and our daughter turns 2 on August 14th and I am due August 12th! You will love being a mommy of 2. Children are such an amazing blessing!
Yay, congratulations! How exciting! My brother is almost 2 younger (23 months) and my sister is 4 years and 2 days younger than me. It's a great age difference!
That is so exciting! Especially because your kids will be so close in age! I wish your family the very best!!

Your family situation is so close to ours...we live in NWA, have a 20 month old son, and are expecting our second baby (a girl!) in June! (2 weeks before our son's birthday!)
