How did it get there?

So there is a life inside of me....totally random to think about. "How did it get there?" one of my student's little brothers asked me. I simply said "It came in through my belly button" and smiled sweetly.

How did it really get there? Mexico.

As many of you know I went to Mexico on Spring Break with Mom, Sister, The Aunts and a cousin. We stayed with a couple who are snow birds and had a great time ( even after the locals stole our luggage and Mom broke her ankle)

Included in my luggage was that little item I take each and every day. After returning home neither I nor Cody thought much of it until after the deed was done...then a week and a half of wondering, 2 pee sticks later and VIOLA - the hour glass stopped blinking and settled on the word PREGNANT!

I am a Christian and I believe all things are done by the Lord with purpose...but did this have to be so dramatic and involve so many people? I have this image in my mind of Jesus and God looking down at us girls as we step off the plane and Jesus hollers over his shoulder in a comical way "Hey Peter, you better come watch this...she has no idea!"
Welcome to my world. Nothing too exciting going on here....I am a teacher and enjoy telling my friends about the interesting things that happen in my daily life. I find the most pleasure in the simple things that occur daily. Like the brilliant sunsets as I drive home from work or the way Maggie whimpers and paws when she dreams in the kitchen or the way Cody starts my car when he leaves for work just because he knows I don't like to be cold.
