Baby #2!

I found out a HUGE surprise today. I'm pregnant with another baby! Houston and I were wanting another baby, but were planning on it taking a lot longer to get pregnant. We have always wanted our kids about two years apart and love being parents. This past fall session of conference we weren't really thinking about getting pregnant again until a specific talk. "Children", by Neil L. Anderson. The talk was about how the timing of children is up to each couple but recommends putting children first, before work and education, and Heavenly Father will bless us. I got one of the clearest spiritual promptings I have ever received and was told we should have another baby. Corbin was just over a year old when we heard this talk, but after talking with Houston we decided to trust Heavenly Father. The next few months I prayed to Heavenly Father and told him that we were ready. It took a long time and was difficult to get pregnant with Corbin and we thought it would be the same the second time around.

This morning I woke up and I couldn't believe how tired I was. I thought, "I haven't felt this tired since I was pregnant". Then I remembered the night before getting sick and being disgusted by the chicken we had for dinner. "I'm just going to see if I'm pregnant so I can stop thinking about it", I thought to myself. I went and took the pregnancy test and was so surprised to see that I really was pregnant!

I wasn't prepared at all with a cute way of telling Houston, but I couldn't keep in the good news. I gave Corbin a little jewelry box and put the test inside and told him to go give it to Daddy. He walked down the hall, shaking the box. I said that Corbin had a present for Dad, and Houston said he thought, "Oh maybe it's something she forgot to give me for Christmas". He opened up the box, smiled and said "REALLY?" I told him, "Yep, we are pregnant!". We were both so surprised and so happy to have a new little person joining our family. We can't wait to meet you and hopefully see you in an ultrasound in a few weeks!
