It is with a little Hesitation, yet the Loudest SCREAMING that we share with you, our prayer warriors, some FANTASTIC GOD-SIZED News.
The kind of News that will force Everyone who hears to Stand in AWE of our Great and Mighty Savior!!
It is for THIS REASON that we just can't bear NOT to Share of HIS Good Works!
We are 9 weeks Pregnant!
I know......... Shocking........... believe me..... we are still beyond ourselves in shock.
We have been told for 12 years, 12 YEARS HEAR ME, that this day would not likely EVER come! We were told in 2001-2003 that if I ever did become pregnant, that because of my kidney condition... I would likely miscarry quickly and never carry to term... OR in the "RARE" chance I ever did... My kidneys would quickly fail and then I would be on dialysis!
These were the last words that we heard in 2003 that sparked our passion for adoption! We started process for Caleb within MONTHS of hearing this news.
NOW...... My kidneys are SO much better than they have ever been. We have seen very slow progression of their healing over the past 12 years.... HOWEVER, AGAIN, the thought NEVER entered into our minds to even try... after all "Chemo had likely killed any eggs that I had to begin with."
On October 30th, the night after we shared with many of you in Caleb's Baptism, I informed Chris that I had missed a cycle, but really thought nothing of it. Other than being VERY tired and heading to bed at 9:30 or 10 every night... I had no clue! Of course, my PRECIOUS husband was insistent on a pregnancy test to which I completed really only to humor him as I "knew" it couldn't be possible.
WELL......... I was WRONG! By a LONG Shot!!!
I called my GYN and got an appt for this past Friday. My doctor was very excited!! It was still all so surreal for Chris and I. Disbelieving even being in that office. We persistently asked... ok... let me be correct... CHRIS persistently asked for the Ultrasound.
AND THERE OUR LITTLE PEANUT WAS!! What a precious one!!! We even got to see her/his little heartbeat beating so fast. S/He is still too little to be able to HEAR the heartbeat. Chris and I both about started BAWLING!! We've been constantly texting each other "Eeeeeeeeeeee" as our little SQUEAL for excitement!
So here we are...... Another GOD-SIZED Story in the Making..... So Unbelievable that it MUST be our Lord and Savior!!
The boys are very excited!! Caleb is probably the most excited as Negash simply flippantly says "I saw that one time inBonosha!" LOL!! Love them!!
***PLEASE pray for the Continued health of the Baby, my health, my kidneys, Chris and the boys, and all of us together as we embark on UNCHARTED Territory for our family!
*I laughingly say that "Only in OUR family would a biological child actually introduce yet another culture!!!" :D
We love you all so much!! We couldn't fully decide if we should tell this right now or not..... but just as Luke 19 says "if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”
It is just TOOOOOOOOOOOO much of a Testimony to the LORD'S Greatness to be Quiet!!!
*We Covet and Cherish your prayers for us during this time! You guys have been such Warriors for us during our adoptions and Brazil and now!! We thank you so much!!
~Beverly - for the Fryar FIVE!!!!!! :)
