The Good News

My wife and I were cooking dinner the other night and I noticed that she was in a different mood then normal. I asked her what was going on and she replied with this weird grin on her face, "Oh nothing." So right then I knew something was up.

I guess I had to play the guessing game with her. I asked her if she got a raise at work, she said no. I asked her if her favorite band was coming to town, she said no. I asked her if she took the rest of her vacation for the year, she said no. I had no idea what was going on. Jokingly, I asked her if she was pregnant. Her weird grin became this huge smile and right away I knew that she was indeed pregnant.

This overwhelming feeling started to come over me. I had a million thoughts race through my mind all at once. I wondered if we could afford another child, I wondered if we had to get a bigger house, I wondered how much more daycare expenses would be, I wondered everything. Then I realized that it doesn't matter about any of that stuff. The only thing that truly matters is that my wife was very happy and my life again was blessed just a little bit more.......
