Journal 9 - 1 + 1 X= 2

This is the big week. It's our first real chance to get pregnant since we decided to have another baby (since I'd already stopped ovulating by the time we decided last month). I'm really excited but so, so nervous. I talked with Leah yesterday and she informed me (see subject line) that one plus one does NOT equal two as far as the effort it requires to take care of two babies. That wisdom came courtesy of Allen. I was complaining that I no longer have time to be thoughtful towards friends and family. I would love to send little notes and gifts just to let friends know that I'm thinking of them or have Ace make craft projects for his grandparents but time just runs out every day between working to pay bills, exercising to relieve stress, cleaning to stay sane, cooking to stay ALIVE and studying God's word to know how to accomplish it all. But I want time to be thoughtful. Maybe I need to stop sleeping altogether.

So, despite no time for it, I am hoping that by next Monday, Ace will have a brother or sister on the way.
