I thought that through this whole adoption process, and observing that of others, we have learned this truth pretty well. Apparently, we need some more lessons :-)
We did not plan to move this soon after Josiah came home, but we know this is where we are supposed to be.
We did not plan to be still in a temporary housing situation, but we know God will provide in His time.
We DID plan to begin our next adoption process as soon as feasible. We were hoping to start the homestudy at our 6 month visit. Obviously, with all the transitions, that was not the right time. So we have been thinking that the year post-placement visit would be a great time to start. Well, it seems that is not God's timing for us as we are....
Pregnant!
I'm sure you can guess we did not plan this! It was a BIG surprise!!! We don't know the due date yet. With all the craziness going on around us, I am not remembering certain important details ;-) And I have not gotten to the doctor yet...I have my first introduction meeting with the nurse Thursday. Then a meeting with a doctor next week. I believe we are at least two months along, though I'm kind of hoping it's a little more than that ;-)
I have been feeling pretty well. I really have not been sick, except when I'm very hungry. I've just been very tired, especially in the evenings. The kids and I have been taking naps more regularly.
Elizabeth is very excited! I'm looking forward to blogging some of her comments and assumptions. Josiah doesn't really seem to understand yet, but we'll be explaining more and more to him. Any good book or video suggestions???
So now you know! And I don't have to keep remembering to not post the cute things related to the new baby. By the way, the plan right now is to not find out the baby's gender. So....no need to ask. :-D

He also has a very interesting way about Him, doesn't He?? Only God could come up with some of the plans I've seen of late. :o)
How EXCITING (and I agree, I'll bet you do need a nap!;)... can't wait!!! And indeed can't wait to read all about E's comments and assumptions.
And not to worry - this didn't take God by surprise... He's still got it all planned out when your next adoption might take place too. :o)
Blessings for a healthy journey,
