I am guessing that if you are reading this right now you probably already know that we (James and Heather Blewett) are pregnant. (I never really understood that because my wife is the pregnant one) We found out on Wednesday October 15, 2008, and it was one of the greatest days of my life.
Heather has had a few pregnancy tests around the house, but she had them hidden because she was tempted to try every day. She had some symptoms and some real suspicions this time and so before school she was looking for the test that she had hidden. She couldn't remember where she hid it. Luckily I had just ran across it the week before. She took it and I was preparing myself for the "It's okay, you'll be pregnant one day" speech... but to my utter surprise and joy, she had two lines. (that's a good thing)
I was teaching chapel that morning and so I was trying to keep my mind fresh on how Jesus talked in Matthew 13 about the Kingdom of Heaven being like yeast in bread that spreads throughout the loaf, but all I could think about was babies. My wife took another test (never can be too sure) and then she went to get blood work. The doctor was to call at one in the afternoon and I could not concentrate. Heather got ahold of the doctor at 1:01 p.m. (he was late) and we found out that she was pregnant in the back of her classroom during naptime at NorthRidge Christian Academy.
We now understand that our lives will never be the same again, and we couldn't be happier. Our prayer right now is very simple... that our child will love God and love His Word. Please pray that along with us if you are led.
This blog will be updated with news like official duedates, sonograms, and we will get a Heather before and after picture. (for the sake of our future child) We hope that you will comment and subscribe and become one of our followers and walk alongside of us on this beautiful journey called parenting.
Thank you all and check back frequently for more.
