Expecting...
......A 4th bundle of joy! Yes, it is true. Buddy and I just found out we are having another baby. This has been with a lot of prayer and consideration. Some of you may know that Aidan and Mattea were both VERY planned but Zane was not, by us anyway. I felt done with 2 and a 3rd was tough, although life wouldn't be as fun without Zane. But, being done with 2, having a surprise 3rd, I definatly wasn't thinking about a 4th! Well, God never let me say "I'm never having more," obviously because He had plans. Buddy, of course, wants a whole houseful. So, yesterday I took the test and lo and behold, it was positive. I go Monday to the doctor. Apparently, sometime this month, my husband and I happened to be in the same room or something, because 1 month was all it took. We have never understood "trying." (Thank God) So.....that is what is going on. I will be excited, right now I am still in shock. Blessings!

About Me
- Shea
- Gadsden, AL, United States
- I am a lover of Jesus Christ! I aim to make our home a sanctuary for my husband and 3 children. I know God has called me to be a wife and mother and each day, I thank Him for giving me the ability to stay home and be JUST that. I homeschool our daughter, Mattea using ABEKA K-3 and several wonderful websites. Although Aidan really enjoys going to Christian school, Mattea prefers to be home. Fine by me!!! I love being apart of the women's Bible studies through our church and strive to learn more about my Lord and grow in our precious relationship. I give God all the glory and have learned to praise Him no matter what the circumstance.

Yay!
Get ready...I think 4 was the clencher for us. Even though she is the best of babies, the days are TOUGH.
You're in my prayers...
I heard somewhere that 50 years ago the birthrate per family was 4, 50 years before that it was 8, and today it's 1.2 children per family.... so get ready for wide eyed questions like "are ALL those kids yours??" everywhere you go.. :p I like answering "Hmmm... I THINK so..."
Congratulations! Having a house full is amazing! you'll love it! :)
Congrats! Wow! I think it's a trendy thing to do right now so not that many people will be suprized, ever since the Pitts it seems a lot more people are open to having a big family! (not that it's the reason you guys are) =)
Hope you're not too sick these first few months!!! Congrats!!!
Heya! CONGRATULATIONS! Such happy news! ! !
I think 4 is a wonderful number!!
Very excited for you guys. I will add you to my 'expecting' list that I regularly pray for.
Jack and I have the same 'in the room' issue. After 2 surprises and 1 planned, I like to think I am now pretty on-the-ball with family planning :) But you never know what God is going to do.
Dont know if its fashionable...over here the average is 2.3 kids but I bet up in Bonners Ferry its about 6. :P
God has a different purpose for each and every family whether there are 0 kids or 10 kids...I will pray that you guys can raise your children to know and love Him and that their hearts would be mouldable to His purpose.
Lotsa lotsa love!!

Congrats!
How exciting. Although I must admit, I'm so glad my pregnancy is over! =) What's your actual due date?
I don't know as though Jay and I will venture a fourth...but I'll never say never! It's just too amazing to see what God creates. I love Avril so much already that I can't imagine saying I'd NEVER do it again. I do know it'll be a while.
It is funny how people think that more than two is just sooo many. I had countless people ask me if I was going to get my tubes tied now that I finally got a girl.
Yaaahh!! I am so excited for you guys..never in a million years did I think you would have another one LOL...I'm so happy!! I can't wait to find out what your having. Do you want a boy or girl this time?? I think Mattea needs a little sister!
