About three weeks ago, Luke started praying for a baby brother. That was apparently the perfect timing, because we found out that I am pregnant!!! I didn't want to tell everyone this early, but I am not good at keeping this kind of thing a secret and Luke has started to tell everyone, anyway. We asked my sister-in-law to watch the kids while we go to the doctor and I knew she'd be suspicious anyway. We are really excited!!
The baby is due on February 12th! That is a great time to have the last part of a pregnancy. I'll make my own warmth and not need an air conditioner at full capacity!
The problem is that Luke is CONVINCED that it is a boy! I hope for him that it is. We have already started explaining about how prayers are answered and how they are not. Yesterday, I said that it might not be a boy and he said, "Did God not hear me?" It breaks my heart. He is such a sweet & trusting little guy! It is so nice to see his faith in action, but it is hard knowing that we may have to work really hard to help him understand.
If I ask Belle whether we should have a boy or a girl baby come live with us, she always says "Booooyyyy." It is really cute. I think she'll be easier to convince that a girl would be okay, too!
