6.

i apologize for my lack of blogging.

there is a reason for that.

life has been hectic.  that is an understatement.

life has been crazy.  that is an understatement.

life has been unpredictable.  that is a major understatement.

don't ever say that you have a plan, because God laughs at those of us who plan.

just as He's laughing right now as i tell you the big news:

i am pregnant.

completely unplanned, total surprise pregnancy.

hello!

3 weeks after sweet elsa came home, i started puking.

i took a pregnancy test to confirm the news.

sure enough...a small little positive sign.

mr. anderson and i have racked our brains around how this could have happened.

i mean, we know how babies happen, but we aren't sure how this baby happened.

i'm waiting for an angel of the Lord to appear and tell me i'm pregnant with God's second son.

just goes to show that we really don't have any control over our lives.

that it's all in His hands.

i know and trust that in His eyes, this little life was no accident.

so here we sit.

7 weeks pregnant.

with another little asian nugget.

that is making me completely sick.  i have hyperemesis...the most severe type of sickness you can get while pregnant.

nauseous 24/7...throwing up most of the day and night.

i've already been to the hospital this week to get IV fluids and meds.

blah.

please pray for me---that this sickness would pass and that i could possibly have an easy time.

PTL for good friends here who have stepped up and are taking care of our family...cause i can't do it right now.  and mr. anderson is going crazy having to be dad and mom right now.

thank goodness i'm married to a good man.  otherwise, i would never survive this.

so yes.

our big news.

we know it's early to tell people, but because i get so sick, we have to tell immediately because we need the help.

we trust God and whatever His plans are for this bean.

know that we are excited...and thankful.  we just need to get past this hard time of sickness before we can fully embrace the fact that we'll have 6 kids, ages 7 and under.

so, please forgive me for my lack of blogging.

it's gonna be pretty random for a while...hang in there with me, friends.
