We are expecting the next puddle in the Lakes' family to join us the first of February.  We are blessed to be expecting.  I know that word "blessed" is so over-used it sounds almost fake, as in "How are you?" ... "I'm blessed."  So, I think I'll clarify what I mean by the word.  By "blessed" I mean...excited at times, scared silly at others; completely at peace that this is God's plan, yet wondering what the heck He's thinking; confident in pursuing His plan, worrying about all those who think we're nuts; happy to add another to the mix, anxious about short-changing the others; physically feeling better than ever, wondering if everything's ok.  You get the idea.

I did have an ultrasound yesterday that dismissed my fear of twins.  Love only seeing one bambino in there!  What a relief!
