Friday-  I had a stomach bug that kept me on the couch for the better part of the day.  TGIF!

Saturday- Improved but definitely still there.

Sunday- The sickness is mild but this duration is like none I've seen.

Monday-  I've never had a bug for four days.

Tuesday- Strange that the sickness just comes and goes.  It's mostly in the morning and the evening.  Kind of feels like...

Wednesday- Tummy is still upset and now I'm tired a lot, too. 

Thursday- Last night I had to go to the bathroom so many times.  Shouldn't my period be starting today?

Friday-  A week later.  Symptoms are as follows:  morning sickness, tiredness, no period, and frequent urination.  HMMM....

By 5:00 P.M.  Friday- Casey and I are huddled in our timy bathroom staring at a little stick that holds our future in it.  The stick is shaking wildly because it's in my hand.   We've done this before, too many times to count, but somehow it all feels unfamiliar.  "OK, this spot should have a line no matter what and this spot should show a neg. sign or a pos.  Alright, I see the negative and..... if I squint, I see another line running across it.  Do you see that line, Casey?  Is it there or am I just imagining it?  Now I know I'm seeing it and I'm not squinting anymore!" 

Oh my, we're going to have six kids!  Not all in this one pregnancy.  See, we have five already.  This plus sign makes six.  Half-a-dozen.  WOW!

All week I wondered if I could be pregnant.  I wondered in my dreams, I wondered when I woke up, and I especially wondered when I put my head on the pillow at night.  Physically, I felt it.  My head knew it.  But somehow, my heart just couldn't grasp the fact that the Lord would, once again, allow such a miracle to take place inside of me.  The idea of part of Casey uniting with part of me and creating a new life, that, just by it's existance in me, would mean that the Lord was trusting it to us, was beyond my comprehension.  The crazy part is that it's happened five times.  Miracles are difficult to fathom, no matter how many times they're done.  This is a miracle and I'm so thankful that the Father would perform it in our lives and in such a way that we can only be in awe at the process.  I am humbled that He would choose me, an ordinary mom with daily struggles, to be a part of His great plan.  I will do this as many times as He (and my husband:) will allow.  There's nothing like it.

What fun it was to read your post and I felt like I was there with you. Congrats! Children truly are a blessing aren't they? I liked the little performers you have as well in the top blog too. How adorable. Bless you as you enter this time of preparing for a new little one to enter your home.
