Surprise! The Clarks are Growing (Again)

 

This year has been a year full of changes and excitement for our family.  (Read about some of them here and here.)  And, it seems that God has decided to bless our family in a BIG way as the year comes to an end.  Yes, I’m expecting! 

 

But, that’s only half of the story.  Literally.

 

 

 

This picture is what I like to call “the biggest surprise of my life.”  It seems that our “fourth and final baby” is actually TWINS!!!  Yes, we are going to have FIVE kids.  I have to keep saying that to myself so I’ll actually believe it.

 

To say that we were shocked is an understatement.  We’re also a little scared and a lot happy.  I feel undeserving of this wonderful blessing.

After our ultrasound, my husband and I went to lunch and had a 30 minute conversation that went something like this:

“Oh my gosh.”

“Oh my GOSH!”

“Oh. My. Gosh.”

(You get the idea.)  We even took pictures of each other with our phones to capture the moment.

 

 

 

 

This is my shocked + severely nauseous look. . .

 

I’m so glad to be able to share this with you.  The last couple of months have been challenging, to say the least.  I always have a rough first trimester and this time was no different.  Add three other kids and way too much work on my plate. . . it’s not been fun.  The good news is that I’m feeling much better and clearing a lot off of my schedule.  I’m officially due in June (if I make it until then). 

 

As far as I know, this is the last big announcement I’ll be making on the blog this year.  Prayers appreciated!  :)
