Some Little Monkey is Going to Be a Big Brother

Written 9/24/11 - It's true!  A few days ago I took not only one but 3 pregnancy tests. And you guessed it, they all came back positive!  The first two had such a faint blue line that I didn't believe it. Nathan even asked "what do these lines mean" and I said, "I don't think we're pregnant".  I guess I'm the 1 out of 4 that incorrectly reads a pregnancy test :)  I calmly went through the next day like no other and picked up a digital test that would read "pregnant" or "not pregnant".  I couldn't believe it!  I covered the reading and revealed it with Nathan right there.  We are so excited for Micah to have a little brother or sister!  We were hoping for another addition to our family, but weren't sure what would be the best timing. Our life has been so hectic these last few years with Nathan in residency.  I was beginning to think there would never be a "good time".  We decided right after Micah turned 1 that it might be a good time to start trying for a little brother/sister.  So we had about 2-3 months of "trying" before we would have to put a halt to our efforts.  My OB said that it wouldn't be wise to transfer care or insurance after 32 weeks.  This means we'd have to have a baby before June 30th and guess what?  Looks like we're due to end of May or beginning of June.  Still not quite sure of the exact date.  I figure I could be anywhere between 4-6 weeks now.  Looks like God's time is just perfect!  Micah will be such a good big brother.  He's so helpful and always loving on Champ our dog. I can't imagine how sweet he'll be to a little baby sister or brother.
