A Special Announcement

I just want to scream it from the roof tops, because I am so completely thrilled!

I am expecting ...

a baby!

This will be our 8th baby and I am so happy! :)

My 3 year old knew about a month ago. He kept telling me that I had a baby in my belly. I just smiled cause I thought he was commenting on how I gained a little. :) Nope! He really did know. When we told him, it was like ... "Finally she believes me!" He is a sweet, tender hearted 3 year old that really is so special.

I am praising God for the wondrous miracles and bountiful blessings.

Why do we have so many children?

I think this is a sacred, personal decision for each couple. I recently read a blog post from another blogger who weighed in on the subject. You can read it here: Here

This is the best response I have ever read because it is filled with responses from the Prophets of God. In our family, we follow the Prophet. So it isn't anymore difficult than that. It really isn't. 

Before I read this blog this morning though, my whole idea was simply this: PRAY, SEEK, RECEIVE. For us, this is the method we have used to know if we were to have another. Every time we have prayed to know, we have received a positive confirmation, we have been thrilled!! I am very happy the Lord has so abundantly blessed our sweet family. It is a sacrifice and it is a blessing.
