A Heartwarming Story

The Good 
Ol' Days

The Faith of a Child

When David (my oldest) was 7 months old, I had an appendectomy and they also removed one of my fallopian tubes. I was told by my doctor that I had 50% less chance to get pregnant now.. When our son was almost 4, we wanted a baby brother real bad. We tried everything. I tried the basal thermometer method. One day I dropped and broke the basal thermometer I had. Needless to say, it left me frustrated. That same month, my son told me he wanted a baby brother. I just sighed and said, "You're going to have to pray, David, because we're trying!" He just put his hand on my stomach and prayed, "Jesus, please put a baby in Mommy's tummy." That same month I got pregnant and had a boy! After that, David told me, "I want a baby sister now." So, I told him, "Well, you know what to do." And he prayed the same prayer. I got pregnant again with my daughter!

When Joanna was born, I was just not ready to have any more children. So... David again wanted to pray for me... and I just told him kiddingly, "Don't you touch me!" LOL!
