What a Week

I remember being with my sister the day before I was going to tell my mom that we were expecting our first child. I was planning to tell Mom first, of course, and then my sister said, "Well, I wasn't going to tell anyone yet, but we are expecting a baby." I couldn't believe it. And, naturally I couldn't hold in my news, especially when she told me that her baby was due within days of mine! I was so excited to get to go through that special time of pregnancy with my sister. We didn't live near each other. They were actually traveling on deputation, and we didn't see one another often, but we were experiencing the same things at the same time, and it was special.

When we began to tell Jeremy's family the news, the plot thickened. His brother and sister-in-law were expecting also. Due within days of our baby. His sister was also expecting...you guessed it, just days from our due date. Our family was going to gain four new babies!

It was quite a week when on Monday, Thursday, Friday, and the following Tuesday four precious babies were added to our family.
