Who goes to bed at 8:30?

My wife does, that's who.
I can't believe how crazy that is. By the time that she gets up around 6 tomorrow morning she'll have almost 10 hours of sleep under her belt. Almost 10 hours!! I can't remember the last time that I actually got 10 hours of sleep. It was probably when I was in high school. Its not that I can blame her though. Apparrently, that is what happens when you're pregnant! That's right everybody! Stephanie is pregnant! She is only about 9 weeks along, so it is still fairly early on, and she should be due sometime in the middle of January or so.
I can not even begin to describe how excited we are. This is truly a miracle. Stephanie and I had talked about our family planning, and the Lord really laid it on our hearts that we were over-planning to the point that we were not relying on God. Amazingly, God showed us immediately that he wanted us to start raising up a covenant child. We were caught off guard, but not surprised. Ocassionally, God has a way of vividly showing his will, and Stephanie and I could not be more excited. We look forward to sharing our buddle of joy with all of you.
With this great news brings a great need for prayer. Please pray for Steph as she experiences the joys and the sorrows of pregnancy. We also ask you to pray for our child as s/he develops. We are not going to find out deliberately what we are going to be blessed with, but it will probably be tough not to find out.
Thank you in advance for your prayers. We appreciate them, and we appreciate y'all!

I'm soooo excited for you two. Of course, this makes me want to have kids too but I have to find a spouse first which has become my #1 priority recently.
