16 1/2 Months Apart

That's right. We are expecting, again! Our expected due date is February 18, 2010, but since I will be having another elective C-section, the baby will come about a week early.
"Do you want a boy or a girl?" Well, it really doesn't matter to either Greg or me. We just pray that the baby is healthy and his/her life will bring glory to God. If the baby is a boy, well, good. If the baby is a girl, we have everything. It actually offends me when I hear, "oh I hope it is a boy." God is the only one who gets to decide, and his decision is always best.
"Where you guys trying, or was it an accident?" I don't believe that the conception of any child is an accident. God has a plan for every child even before conception. Greg and I have been ready to have another baby since Izzie was born. We love parenthood. Since it took us a while to get pregnant with Izzie, We started trying right away.
So far, this pregnancy has been completely different from my first. The major difference is the reactions we have received to our "good" news. Everyone was excited as could be when we got pregnant the first time, but everyone thinks we are out of our minds this time. I have gotten reactions like "You are crazy," "What were you thinking?" and, my favorite... "You stupid bitch."
Needless to say, I have been pretty emotional and sad the last couple of weeks. NOT because I am pregnant. I want this baby. I feel extra blessed that God has allowed Greg and I to create life again. I am proud that Izzie will have a sibling close in age. I am not concerned about 2 kids in diapers/daycare at the same time. God will provide. He always provides.
We are only 6 weeks along, so we have a while to sort out the details. Those of you who read my blog, if you have any advice or have been in a similar situation, please feel free to leave a comment.
