Joshua Called It

This has been a crazy, but exciting week. Andy had to work late every night this week (so it's wonderful that he has a 3-day weekend to spend with us). On Wednesday night, while Andy was still working, the kids and I were eating dinner, when Joshua said, "I think this one's going to be a boy, Mommy."
"What, Joshua?"
"You know, the baby...in your belly. I think it's going to be a boy."
"You mean if God blesses us with another baby, you think it's going to be a boy?"
"Yeah...or a girl. But I think a boy."
"Ooookaaay"
That night, after Andy got home and the kids were in bed, I told him what Joshua said a dinner.
"TAKE A TEST!" said Andy.
"I already took one a couple of days ago and it was negative. I don't want to waste another test yet."
"TAKE A TEST!"
"Ok, I'll take a test."
And, of course, it was positive :) YAY!!!! Won't it be cool if it's a boy too! I haven't been to the doctor yet, but I figured out that I'm due September 21st, right between Brooke's birthday (Sept 15) and Joshua's (Sept 27). Our anniversary is also on Sept 29, so this is a big month for our family. It might have something to do with Andy having vacation time during the holidays every year :)
I am a little nervous about everything, because our last pregnancy did end in a miscarriage at 12 weeks. But as soon as we found out we were pregnant again, Andy told me he has total peace about this. He just knows that it'll be ok. I've been fervently praying that God will give me peace as well with whatever happens and that I'll trust in His perfect will and plan. So I ask that you keep us in your prayers too, because I wholeheartedly believe in the power of prayer...

And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. (Jesus speaking) John 14:13-14

If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. (Jesus speaking) John 15:7

Our other excitement this week came from the Steelers' big win tonight against the Ravens, which means "Pittsburgh's going to the Superbowl...Here we go..." Will that song ever get out of my head again? Definitely not for the next 2 weeks. Here we go...
