Surprise, surprise!

Apparently, Joshua has a little pull with the Big Man Upstairs. He decided that since it was difficult for Mommy and Daddy to get pregnant with him, he'd ask that they'd have an easier time with his future baby brother or sister. Well, apparently little ones get what they ask for and more.

You see, Mommy and Daddy didn't know that a new little baby was on the way, and it came as quite the surprise. They thought they'd have a tough time again, and hadn't started the planning. But, Joshie apparently decided it was time! He put in a request and it was answered immediately. So, he's going to be a big brother come September!

We are all very excited and grateful for this unexpected blessing--our own little miracle. We would truly appreciate your prayers for our new arrival and for our family. We are planning to deliver at UNC with the Midwives, which I am very excited about. And I think Joshua will be a wonderful big brother, even though he won't quite be 2 years old when his little sibling arrives. I guess our little family will be getting a little bigger soon!

Josh and your new little one will be almost exactly the same difference in age as my niece and nephew (they're 22 months apart)...he's only 2 weeks old but things are going well for them so far! She's had no problem adapting to the change at all.

Congratulations!!

THat is so so so great Erin! You will love having kids so close in age. I will admit that I was a little worried and nervous myself, and though its only been a month with 2 kids it has been amazing! Congrats Congrats to all of you! I hope you are feeling okay.... and Josh will let you rest as you get through the next couple months :)
