Yep. We have a little surprise on our hands. Truth be told, I am pretty excited about it. I heard my friend Ben talk about having kids, and he said that every time his next child was born, he felt an enlarging of his heart, and caught himself saying "I didn't know that my heart had this much capacity to love." Another of my friends says they doubled their joy with their second, and hope to triple their joy with their third someday. I'm going to test the joy math for him and let him know how it works.
And so, I'm excited. I worry a bit at times, as we currently have a 3 bedroom house, and will either be giving someone a roommate or looking for a new house (which isn't in the budget, but then #3 wasn't either. they're a surprise baby!). But I know that in this we will struggle, we'll plan and see some of the plans succeed, and that our family will grow, and that we'll see our love for each other deepen in our capacity to love and care for each other.
The moral of the story? Don't put your maternity clothes in the garage sale box. You'll find yourself digging them out quickly.
Live deeper.
