Party of 5 (taken on Sunday, September 21, 2008)After 5 months, Richard and I got our prayers answered. I woke up earlier than usual on the morning of September 11th and crept into the bathroom. Over a month ago I bought one pregnancy test for this very moment. I had taken several in the months before, but I already knew that this result would be different. I was feeling very strange and I thought I knew the reason.
I thought about that commercial that said this was the most advanced technology you will ever pee on and I laughed. I read the direction and it said to take the test and then wait at least 2 minutes to see results. But, to my delight, after about 20 seconds I saw the most beautiful plus sign I have ever seen...and I've seen a lot of those in my days as a math teacher! I laughed out loud and instantly thought about how I could tell Richard. I had nothing clever in mind, so I just walked to the bedroom, gently woke him up, and gave him the news. We celebrated and laughed and cried and prayed. It was one of those moments in life that never leaves you. I will always remember that morning and that joyful feeling I had all day long.
I decided that I would start this new blog to keep everyone up-to-date and in the loop on all the latest belly news. I will also try and upload a belly pic each week:) Let the growing begin! Pray for us and the new little heart that is already beating inside me. What a wonder! We have our first appointment on Thursday, Sept 25. We should be due sometime around May 17. I'll know more after the first visit. Thanks for your prayers and encouragement!
In other news, my twin sister, Lyndsey (pictured above on the right) is only 28 weeks pregnant with twin boys and is already on bed rest, so pray for her and the little ones (Chase and Andrew) that the Lord would let them bake a little longer and grow to be strong and healthy at delivery. Also, pray that Lynz doesn't go insane with all the laying around and that her husband, Jonathan, doesn't go crazy building their new house.

This is so exciting! I know you and
Richard will be great parents. I hope your little Doty will need one more set of Grandparents,
because when Lynz became part of our family so did you. (You can't separate twins you know)We are praying for your tiny little Doty and for you and Richard.
love you,
Georgette
