This blog is seriously overdue. I apologize... the silence was unintentional. Anyone who knows me can tell you - it's like that saying about the tree in the forest. Just because you can't hear me, doesn't mean I'm not talking somewhere...to somebody. :)
So here's the news: Just in case you didn't hear this already from some other reliable source. Herb and I are pregnant. Yeah. You heard right. We're pregnant. Okay... stop gaping at the screen. I know it can be a bit shocking if you're just hearing it for the first time. I know it was for me. But I've had 19 or so weeks to get used to the idea and trust me - it gets easier to take with time.
But seriously, Herb and I are very happy. Yes, we were surprised by the news. Well okay, not that surprised. We know how these things happen and that's a good thing! But we had just got ourselves used to the idea that having a baby together was not something we were ever going to share. A little sad about it - but we had come to terms with it. After all - we are getting older. I'm turning 40 next month after all! And Caleb, my oldest just turned 16. 16? Hey! There IS light at the end of the tunnel! We actually went and looked at RV's and began talking about our exit strategy. A retirement plan was being formulated. I joined Herb on the truck and we began to sell tools together. See more customers in less time and maybe make more money in less time, reduce our outgoing, increase our incoming... well - you get the idea.
And yet - here we are. God thinks he's pretty funny.
At least I've stopped being so sick and can now really begin to enjoy the prospect of this new, old adventure. So I say all that to say this...
We're having a baby. Due mid June. And it's a boy! ^-^
