Our family found out earlier this week that our 11th child is on the way. Of course this discovery was met with much weeping and gnashing of teeth from me in absolute terror of what has been the past year. But, after falling face down on the ground and sobbing it all out and realizing no one could make this better or make me feel better I clung to the line "Jesus is still Jesus." And He is. And that's so good. So I wiped my face and got back to the laundry and kids.
Today we lovingly nicknamed this tiny one "Shark bait" after the new name given to Nemo in the movie "Finding Nemo". That movie has made me laugh recently even through the trials so "Sharkbait" it is.
And we are hopeful. My first labs came back. This pregnancy is unusual because first off, I ovulated very early this month, which enabled me to get a positive test at only 3 weeks 2 days. But second, because for the first time in a year my progesterone levels are awesome: 45. And at only 3 wks 2 days my hcg was 32. I'm getting more draws tomorrow to make sure it's doubling as it should.
So we wait, and pray, and hope. And in the end, Jesus is still Jesus. Nothing will snatch us out of His hands, and He loves us with an everlasting love.
