Keeping Our Sense of Humor

It is no secret that Martin and I have kept our lives open to the will of God for our family planning. Although I am very content now (and extremely happy that my jeans are fitting really nice !)

Last  Wednesday however,(day after the elections, mind you), I was feeling like something was awry.  I asked Martin to please get a pregnancy test just to be sure..  He discreetly leaves the house and brings home the test.  I run upstairs and take care of my business during our snack break (we are watching Dancing with the Stars). 

I do my thing and sure enough...TWO blue lines!  AAHH!!  A brief moment of freaking out and I return to find Martin waiting at the bottom of the stairs.  I look at him and he knows the result without a word..done this enough to know THAT look.

  So we return to the living room to watch our show and I blurt out to Wendy and LeRoy that we are pregnant!!  (Perhaps this is why I have been struggling with my emotions etc recently right?)  Ususally we wait to tell people for a few weeks while we adjust to the news and make sure that everything is okay.  For some reason, Martin calls the kids down from bed to share our news with them.  They are ecstatic.  

Later that night as I am getting ready for bed, I finally look at the test box to put it away.  (We got the box with two tests)  I realize that the two blue lines are for Negative as in NO BABY!!  Not "Yahoo!  Your"e pregnant!! "  How in the world did I miss that?  Come on, I mean I must have taken at least fifty of these  since we started having kids.  I must be losing my mind!  Who doesn't check the box first to find out HOW to interpret the results?

Next morning I clarify everything for Wendy and LeRoy and break the news to the kids.  The kids are devastated,especially Abbie.  She wanted to help mommy "get her new babies from the doctor".  In fact, she has had several tearful moments this week trying to understand the confusion.  Today, she was telling her brother the things she was thankful for and she said "the babies."  He told her mommy is not having another baby right now and she began to cry again.

So we have had a good laugh, knowing that God too must be chuckling a little bit.  I KNOW, I KNOW,  some of you are not laughing at all about this, in fact it is probably causing You to have a freak out moment............

I am laughing out loud

That is SOOOO very funny. I am glad the children took the (second) anouncement (fairly) well.

I pray the you are all healthy and happy. How are things with Martin's job hunt. We will keep praying for that to remedy itself (quickly).

Have a great Thanksgiving and CHRISTmas season. I sure hope that we get a chance to see each other soon and spend some time together. Maybe we should just head your way. (Hey, that is an idea. When the weather starts to warm up.)

Blessings my friend; Carrie
