Another Moore is on the Way...

Well for those of you who have not heard. We are pleased to announce that Baby Moore #5  will be making an appearance the 1st week of August 2011. Say What!? Yes it is true and we are just as surprised as everyone else. Those of you who know my husband Scottie were probably aware that he swore up and down that our little family was complete with the arrival of Dillon our 4th son. He had his 4 boys, and he was happy, and content with moving on to the next phase of our lives. Me on the other hand I had a hard time grasping this idea he had. He told me that I was just so use to having babies and taking care of them for the past 7years that of course it would be difficult for me. But that I needed to get past that for we were FINISHED! I really wanted to feel this way as well to look forward to what comes next to have my body back as my own again and not feel like a brood mare or dairy cow. Either growing a child or feeding a child for 7years gets a little tiring. I anxiously wanted to move on with my life and reclaim MY body back for myself. So a few months ago after having several discussions with my husband and trying to figure out if my feelings of not being complete was just my crazy mother brain or if there was really more to it. I decided to do some serious praying to find my answer, and receive the comfort I needed to know that it was OK to say I was FINISHED having children. Whenever someone would ask me if we we had our family and if we were going to stop. I could NOT give them a straight answer it tore at me inside to say, Yes we have our family. I could not bring myself to say it out loud and would stumble over the words when I would try and say what my husband wanted me to say and come to accept. One night in October I was fervently praying after reading my scriptures to know and feel what my husband was feeling. I prayed asking my Heavenly Father to help me to know if our family was complete and to find the peace to move on and be able to accept this. As I was doing this I heard in my thoughts "There is another". Not expecting to hear this I thought I was CrAzY! I continued to pray asking if that was just me making things up in my head or if that was the spirit trying to tell me something. An overwhelming feeling came over me  my chest burned and I knew that we were to have another Child. When this would occur I was not sure of but I knew our family was not complete yet.I then thought in my head well then Father if this child is suppose to come there had better be some Divine Intervention to occur cause there is no way my husband will believe me on this. A month had past and I hadn't discussed this experience with Scottie. I was still trying to figure out how to tell him. I went to the Temple the beginning of November with some friends and as I was attending a session clear as day in a voice that was not my own I heard " It is time."  I was thinking "It is time for what?" And then it hit me." Ohhhhhhhh riiigghht." Well I guess I should talk to Scott. How did I approach him you might ask? Well it was 3 weeks later when I surprisingly found out that I was PREGNANT! Ya lets just say I laughed hysterically for a good hour while Scott sat there in complete shock. And now I can say that the surprise has passed and WE FEEL like our Family is NOW COMPLETE! There will be no chairs left empty in our home.
