It's a boy!!

Had the gender showing ultrasound yesterday and the parts were there to see. When we went in for Elizabeth's, they could not tell. We both are very excited to know and plan. The planning part got me up at 6 am this morning. Besides coming up with a name, we need to come up with more space, boy things and a bigger car. Man oh Man.

The cool thing is Adam and I have really learned to rely on God and His provisions for us. We are in a place in our lives where each penny counts. We do live paycheck to paycheck but by choice. We choose to put a name or home to every penny earned. In the past, we would pay off bills and then wonder how much we could spend on ourselves. Now we know exactly how much for every bill and anything and everything else. With only one salary, buying a house or car is not something we can decide to go and do. For one thing, in a car we don't want any payments ever. As for a house, we want to pay a down payment. And yes, we know it is a buyer's market but we are waiting for the Lord's timing on that one. The Lord has taught us discipline and to live with things we need and not what we want. What a hard lesson but one we can't wait to pass onto our children.
