and then there were three!

It looks like we will be having a third baby in October!! My test finally came up positive, but I feel like I knew almost immediately. I have never been nauseous so quickly and inconsistently. Chad and I are both very excited! It is so amazing how God works, and I have seen him work so closely lately. It is amazing! He has answered so many prayers and it has been awesome to watch. First off, I asked him to change my heart and to really bring me to a place of contentment and satisfaction with my two boys. I had made having a daughter an idol and it is awesome to see how genuinely my heart has changed. I started really appreciating my kids for who they are and their unique qualities. It has been awesome learning to really love them for all that they are, and not be so focused on that they aren't girls. Before and after having Jude I was determined to get pregnant this month and sadly it was all for selfish reasons, I mostly wanted to just try for a girl. So, after having a content heart that pressure was no longer there and I told Chad we should just give ourselves time and continue to let us all adjust to eachother, especially since Pierce has been experiencing a lot of jealousy towards Jude. Well, God apparently had his own agenda anyway. Funny how it works...

Also, we will see if he is completely right(which would be creepy) but last week before we had a positive test, Pierce came over to me and started rubbing my belly. He said, " you have a baby in your belly" I laughed and told him he was crazy, with the suspicion already there. Then he said, " I want to touch the baby." " It's a baby sister."

It was so weird! It was out of nowhere. It would make a good story, but I guess we will see. Either way, I won't be crying out of sadness when we find out the gender of this baby, only tears of joy. I have a content heart and only my Jesus can do that! Such an awesome God we serve. (:

Now if only I could learn a little patience... I won't go to the dr. For at least 3 more weeks. Eeeek!
