So the rumors are true, I am pregnant! I figure everyone who reads my blog reads Dan's so you already know, but I still wanted to post about it!
What the heck right! We are still in shock about it a lot of the time, 4 months into it and we still get huge smiles on our faces when we talk about God and his surprises!
It is so cool to look back on our journey and see God's plan woven throughout the whole process. 7 years of trying to have children and just when we think our little family of four is complete, God blesses us with this desire that has been deep within us. I love that each of our children are miracles, with different stories and that all along God was orchestrating each and every detail.
I am so absolutely thrilled that I have this little person growing and floating inside me, that she(dan keeps saying he so I am gonna go with she) that she has all her little organs and fingernails and I get to carry her around with me, it is really amazing to me. We have heard the heartbeat twice now and each time I get the chills, it is just like wow, this is really true, finally.
Anyway I just wanted to say thank you to all of our family and friends who have traveled this crazy journey with us, so many of you have been praying with us for literally 7 years and a friend just said on the phone the other day that it was an answer to their prayers as well. How cool that so many people are rejoicing with us in this miracle.
How cool is our God that knows the desires of our hearts and he gives them to us when we least expect it!

Wow! I just got goosebumps too. I am excited for you guys! What an amazing God.
Are you going to wear midriff tops now and stop with the bulky layering? You will be pregnant in the middle of summer...
And nobody likes a guy with bangs!
I should not have done this but I checked your blog at work to see if you had written anything (I read Dan's late last night) and of course now I am sitting at my desk crying.
Oh Alyssa I am so happy for you! And can't get over how God has woven your lives together. I can remember sitting on your couch in Riverside and both crying as we talked about how hard it is to wait and trust God's timing and love.
I am SO thrilled that I got to be even a part of your story.
Congrats you guys! I cried when jon told me...then i ran home and looked at your posts...God does answer prayers...im so thrilled and overjoyed for your family...
alyssa, you look adorable by the way!

Hey Alyssa, I just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS to you guys. How very exciting... isn't God's timing just crazy? Well you look great. Yay for baby Lance #3!!
i can't even begin to say how happy i am for you guys. i just start crying.
i can't wait to see the happy family of 5!
crying again...
can I just say you take the cutest prego award! you look adorable with your little bump and your new haircut is super cute!!! Eli is going to need an adorable girlfriend someday (even if it is a long distance relationship), so tell dan I'm going for a girl too!
God is good!!!
We're so excited for you guys! God is so awesome! What a miracle! I can't wait to meet Moses or Mosesina.
Mosesina? No, it's not a name I just made up. :]
I understand what you mean when you hear the heartbeat. I was so overwhelmed that I could have cried, but I was trying so hard not to that I was speechless. I new I would get choked up if I said or did anything.
Pregnancy is such a miracle. It is a constant reminder of who God is and how we can't wrap our little minds around his plan and design.
Once again...I am so thrilled for you and thanking God for how he has blessed you and Dan with this gift!
So exciting! I am so happy for you!
You are adorable. I wish I could wrap my arms around you and see you every day. I can't wait until you visit. Are we going to dinner to celebrate?
congratulations.
Some friends of mine just had a baby after struggling for a while as well.
Congrats again.
Alyssa, I know this is way late, but I am still so blessed to hear about your little miracle. I am so excited for you!!!
