Finally . . .

Finally everyone is fixed, and life can slow down! Sort of except . . . get ready for it, you may want to sit down . . . We're expecting again! Wow! What a shock to us. It's a miracle! This is our 5th pregnancy, and this is the 1st time we haven't had any fertility treatments. I'm only about 5-6 weeks, so we haven't been able to confirm by ultrasound that all is good. However, my HCG level (hormone present in pregnancy) is great and so is my progesterone. The doctor is comfortable that everything will be fine, but we just have to pray and have faith that it will be. We decide to fully rely on God in hopes of more children, so he brought us this far and we're going to continue to trust in His will. It's such a miracle, we just can't say that enough. We want to give all of the glory to God for this AMAZING blessing. Please pray for Baby Wicker; he/she is due mid to late March. Another March baby for the family! (Bradley's birthday, Austin's due date- so his adjusted age dates back to March, and Lisa's birthday all fall in March- not to mention both of Lisa's parents, the boy's Aunt Beth and Aunt Melissa too!) So, now that is finally out! Bradley and Austin are recovering nicely. Bradley is doing great except for when he goes to the bathroom and his ointment has to be applied. It has been amazing the difference in him since his surgery and no accidents! Yay! Bradley did so well at the hospital. He climbed in a little wagon and off he went with the nurse- no tears at all! It was such a blessing. Mama on the other hand had a few tears, but I think it was mostly because I saw just how old he is getting! He didn't even look back, but they did rush out to get me after he woke up from anesthesia. He was crying for his Mama; so sweet! Once I got back back to him he was fine. Praise the Lord for allowing everything to go well for Bradley. Austin is doing well too. His arm is healing nicely along with his private area too. :-) There is a lot of swelling down there, but we think that is expected. Austin's pain seems better and the clear bandage is starting to come off his arm. He is finally getting back on schedule and seeming happier everyday. Another amazing miracle in our life. God is so good! I go to my high risk OB on Monday for my first prenatal, all the bloodwork and exam. Then, Austin's EI is coming on Wednesday. His physical therapist may be coming too, and he should have a followup with his surgeon in the next week. Thank you all for your prayers!
