Cat's Out of the Bag

Well, it's been a while...

Well, it’s been a while since I’ve done anything around here and I’ve got good reason for it.

I suppose I should let you in on it since the cat’s out of the bag anyways!

Truthfully, I’ve thought numerous times about how I would word this post…

The dreams and desires of my heart crashing into reality…

The excitement over here is real.

Did you guys guess it yet?

The Simpson gang will be welcoming our newest and littlest member to our family come mid-January!

I know! It’s thrilling! Are you excited? Beaming with joy? Jumping up and down with pure exuberance? Truth is, me too.

But one thing is for sure, the first trimester is hard.

Just a few things come to mind….

1. I forgot what nausea is like, now I remember.

2. I forgot what true exhaustion is, now I remember. If I could cat nap all the live long day, I sure would.

3. We are moving into a camper in the middle of the mid-western summer, (thankfully after the first trimester) and will be building a house that will *hopefully* be completed come baby time. I’ll sure miss you, bathtub & ice-cold AC.

4. Keeping a house clean while it’s on the market and living with a tornado (not talking about the toddler here, I do in fact mean myself) during this time is all too stressful.

5. I’ve gagged at nearly every sight, thought or conversation of food. Sad indeed. Makes feeding the people all too hard.

6. Did I mention the toddler?

7. Help please.

Oh, but goodness, a child is a blessing indeed! As many of you know, this has been a journey & we are all too excited about expanding our crew over here.

Right now, it truly all seems to be impossible, but we serve a great, just, forgiving, loyal, and perfect God who holds us, and this new one, in his protective hands.

Thank you, Father, for these gifts.
