Where Do Babies Come From?

Well Friday Fiction didn't get written this week, but I plan on having Bob's story continued next Friday (or maybe sooner), so please stay tuned!

The reason it didn't get written was because my household has been crazy this past week with some big news. Namely news of a +1 increase in family size with my wife announcing to me on Monday night that she is pregnant.

She came home with a blue bag and inside the bag was a onesie (spelling?) that said "Daddy's Little Sweetheart" and a pregnancy test with a + sign on it. We both shared a brief cry and kind of sat freaked out and silent not sure what to think of the situation.

She told me that she took two tests and both showed up positive. You would think that a double positive equals a negative, but I guess it doesn't work that way in baby land. So after getting over the initial shock and freak out moment, I finally got to the place where I could become truly excited about the news.

Where do babies come from? They come from God, and apparently they come when He is ready for them to come whether it fits within our plans or not. I'm just giving Him thanks since there are so many couples unable to have kids who really want them. I guess falling in the .1% chance of conceiving while using preventative measures means we are blessed, and I sure plan on giving this baby all the love I can possibly give it. It's going to have a kookie daddy...kookie but full of love.

You could have written an award winning piece for Fiction Friday and it will would not be as good as this post. Congrats to you both, God knows EXACTLY what He's doing. You are going to be fabulous parents.

I just realized that last comment was not at all grammatically correct...and I call myself a writer :)

Anyway, be blessed, my friend. You're in for an awesome ride!
