BIG, CRAZY, EXCITING NEWS!!!

Okay Bloggers:
What is the craziest thing you have ever done in your life? I can think of a few things that people think are crazy that I already do... riding my own motorcycle, for instance. No big deal to me, but to some it is ludicrous! My career is pretty crazy at times... no one ever thought I would last this long working EMS. Just traveling to Mexico several times a year raises some eyebrows because ignorant people think you will get raped or killed every time you enter the country!

Well, I think I have done it. The craziest thing I've EVER done in my life. I will need tons of prayer so I don't lose my sanity. I'll definitely need an endless supply of patience...(I've come a long way having step-children!) And I need my blogger friends to talk me through it.

So, here goes. I AM PREGNANT! I will soon be 36 and am pregnant for the very first time. I have struggled with the decision to have a child for so long. About a year ago, my hubby and I decided to let the Lord decide. I believe that children are a gift from God, as the bible says, it's just in my previous experiences with other people's children, it hasn't always seemed like such a blessing at times. I know, everyone says, "it is different when they are yours". I can't count the number of times I have heard that! So now we will know. I am thankful to have the opportunity. I am thankful that God thinks I am ready and capable of being a mother. I sometimes think He has more faith in me than I do!!!

Congratulations! How exciting! My mom was still having kids into her 40's, and we were all healthy, strong babies (all 4 of us!) I'm already looking forward to baby pictures. :)
