Empty Nests? Bah-humbug!

The other night we attended a Community Independence Day Freedom Celebration at our former church (one we went to for close to 15 years) and we run into quite a few couples that we've known for years but haven't seen in a while, and we hear gloating upon gloating about "empty nests". My dh and I teased that we'll not have that experience in our lifetime, lol! Here we were with all our bundles of joy ranging from almost 2 up to age 22, grandson included!

So the real funny moment came when. . .wait for it. . .wait for it. . .the next day we learned we are expecting again! I just had to smile  :)

Empty nests? Bah-humbug! That's what we have in our tree after the Robin's eggs hatch and the birdies fly away!

Please join us in prayer that this pregnancy goes well and that this baby develops healthy and strong! We've been through 2 miscarriages in the past nine months, and it's nervewracking to have that in the back of my mind, while trying so hard to be positive and know that God is in control!

Praying for you...I'm expecting number 5. My oldest is 10. I have had two miscarriages in the past. I am 17 weeks right now.
