It's that time again!

BABY TIME!!

Ian and I are excited to announce the "baking" of Mader child #3!! Yes, we're only having one this time. ;) Ian fondly refers to this little one as "Bean"(baked bean...partly because that was one thing I was CRAVING before even knowing I was pregnant). 


We found out on May 3rd, and you can imagine, I was a little anxious to know the quantity so that I could begin emotionally preparing for a major life change. Even though we completely surrender to the Lord's will, we are thankful that it was in His plan to have a single child this go 'round. I am thankful that He is in charge of every detail and appreciate His grace in easing us all into this adjustment...especially my girls! I was a little worried that if it were two, I would have very limited time with my toddlers. Praise be to God for "knowing the plans He has for us...to prosper & not to harm...plans for hope & a future!" Jer.29:11


We're not sure if we're going to find out the gender of this li'l one. We would love a boy, but would be happy with whatever the Lord has already prepared for us! Definitely keeping the name a secret! ;) Aside from morning sickness, I'm doing good. Thankfully, the girls have been sleeping in til 10am, so I have a chance to get over it before they wake. 
I'm 8 weeks along with a due date of Jan.10th. Your prayers are welcomed & SO appreciated!!
