Not knowing that God had blessed us again. That the baby was there for us I was finally happy with what God given to me. Shortly after this God blessed me with a baby I was so excited I couldnt believe it, Tim wasnt home he was at church so I couldnt tell him the good news. It was still a shock to me in the last 6 years every month we would hope and pray even to the point we had a little hope. But all of a sudden when we were excited and started to let others know our hope and excitement was taken away from us. I was very scared and worried that this one too would be taken from us so I waited for a while to tell anyone. I even kept it from Tim just to not cause it to happen all over again of being disappointed again.
I took another test it was still positive so I finally reveled our secret to others around us. God so graciously let me keep this wonderful blessing. We then told the kids that they were going to have a little brother or sister. All of them were so excited and just couldnt wait. Except Sarah she was our little princess and didnt want anyone else to take her place. She was so upset that she ran to her room screaming "no I dont want a little brother or sister". After I while she was finally use to it and was happy we were all going to have a baby.
All of the kids wanted a little brother so bad. Lena would sit with me every night and talk and sing to my belly. As it grew the hope and glimmer in their eyes for a baby brother was their. I would take the girls with me to my appointments 1 at a time. They would listen to the heartbeat with excitement to know that inside me was a little baby. The time finally was here for us to find out what we were having so while the girls were at a girls scout camp I went to the doctor. I would soon know and be able to actually believe, trust and know that the baby was safe inside of stomach. On this day I found out that our baby was a little girl I was excited to know that she was safe and looked great.
I went back to the camp to get the girls and at that time told them they were going to have a baby sister. Sarah and Hayley were so excited someone they could dress and hold just like a dolly. Lena on the other hand had her mind set to have a little brother and just didnt know what to do. So she fussed at my stomach and refused to talk to the baby anymore because she was a girl not a boy. After I think a full week went by she finally was able to except the fact that she was going to have another little sister. She came up to my stomach and to the baby she was sorry and that she loved her. She began again to sing and talk to the baby.
In the month of october I went into premature labor 1 week before my ceasaren and 3 weeks before she was suppose to be here. Our doctor went a head and delivered her she was beautiful she weighed 8 pounds and 15 ounces healthy as could be. We named her ALISABETH JAYDE CLARK. Hayley picked her middle name and her first name just seemed to fit the baby while i was carrying her and it still does today except we call her ALI.
Today is her birhtday October 22 we are so happy to have in our family and have be part of the clark family.
