If you thought 3 at once was tough...

Last year at this time, I was washing the floors of our kitchen in Siberia with angry tears streaming down my cheeks. I had just miscarried for the second time. At this rate, thinking we would be in Siberia another 3 years, I would never have kids. Now, a year later, I am amazed how the Lord can bless in such a short time. He does give and take away...
Turns out that I am pregnant! Ah! I am due at the end of August and am currently 15 weeks along. We can't really believe it.
The timing of the Lord is amazing, really. First of all, I am just coming out of the first trimester, which means I am starting to feel better and am not throwing up all the time. Definite plus. So, I will have the energy to run around after 3 Ethiopian girls. But I'm not far enough that I don't get some good time with just them. We will have 5 months together before the baby comes and I hope that will be a very focused time on just them.
We have had a lot of people, who have kids, smile, laugh or just stand in shock. Do we not know what we're getting into??
We've also had a few smile and say they can see the Lord's hand in this. Those who have adopted talk about how this baby can be such a bridge between us and them. How they might very much feel like this is their baby and will attach with us through him/her.
Regardless of why the Lord chose to bless us like this at this time, we are grateful. The Bible says that children are a blessing. I hope so. We'll have 4 this year.
