3 is a good number

If you are still reading my blog, you know that the Moody family has made many changes in the last few months. We are now living in Knoxville and Jeff has started school. It is an exciting time for our family and, to add to the excitement, we are expecting baby #3!

This news came as a complete shock to Jeff and I as we were packing to move to Knoxville. We prayed after Savell was born and decided we would not prevent another pregnancy but "thought" we knew it wouldn't just happen. If you know me well you know that getting pregnant with Ollie and especially Savell was hard and I was told by my doctor that it was impossible without IVF, which we weren't willing to do. (I think it is a great choice for many families but we have been lead by the Lord to live a debt free life and we couldn't do IVF and be debt free)

So when I was a few weeks late I decided I should take a test and I died laughing when it was positive! Don't get me wrong, we want more kids. My plan was to have O and S with us at school and when Jeff was finished with school and had a job we would adopt 2 kids from Uganda. Jeff and I both want to adopt from Uganda and I thought that was a great plan. Well as always I make a plan and the Lord says, "Hey Mandy, you forgot that I make your plans for you!" And so here we are in a new town, new jobs, and a new baby on the way. I am beginning my 2nd trimester so I am hoping to feel better soon!

If you have time please pray for our family as we settle in to our new normal in Knoxville and as we prepare for baby #3!
