About 3 months ago, Mom and Dad told us something we had almost given up hoping for...
We are expecting our 10th baby!
This may not sound like a miracle to some of y'all but the reason it is to us is that 2 years ago mom was 6weeks pregnant with our 10th, and un-known to us it had gotten lodged in one of her fallopian tubes.
As the baby started to grow it caused the tube to rupture and because of hemorrhaging and loss of blood mom almost died in the emergency room.
After it was all over the Doctors told us that there was very little to no possibility we would ever have another, but God has showed yet again that nothing is impossible for him.
She is d
ue in late May, so hopefully we will be all moved into our new house before the birth.(we think it's a boy)

I was thinking about the baby the other day too, and was thinking it was a boy. I guess we'll see. :-)

Oh Jacqueline! All of us Smiths are so excited for your whole family! That is such wonderful news! Six months before our mom became pregnant with our youngest the girls started praying every night that she would have another one. Isn't God wonderful! Your mother will be one our prayer list for mothers with child.
Love in Christ~
Heather for the Smiths in Oregon
P.S. Say hi to everyone us!

The news is truly terrific - and of course it will be a boy... but if it were twins, we could have a soccer team with two subs!!!

Hello Jacqueline!
Allow me to introduce myself. : ) My name is Lauren. I am engaged to Tait, one of Daniel's fellow Vision Forum interns from 2006. Tait's sister, Esther, gave me the link to your wonderful blog.
I loved reading through your profile; it almost looks like mine! : ) Same books, same interests....
Congratulations on the new baby! I have a 9-month-old baby sister who is 19 years younger than I am.
It would be such fun if you'd come down to the wedding with your brother. My sister and I would love to meet you, and I know Tait's sisters would too!
Just wanted to say 'hi!' I look forward to reading your blog further, and hopefully seeing you in May!
Your sister in Christ,
Lauren
P.S. Our family's blog is www.thenamefitz.blogspot.com.
