That's right: Swish swish swish swish!
We're growing another little fish!
Our hearts are thump thump thumping with more happiness and anxious anticipation than you can imagine.
Even Lucy is starting to catch the vision. I happened upon her creating this masterpiece the other day:
For the untrained eye, a little assistance: from left to right, Lucy (note the curls) and Mom (note the straight hair and the exceedingly long toenails) with babe in arms.
SMILE.
Our hearts are assured that there is a God in heaven who works miracles.
Our hearts are so grateful for this miracle.
And let's pile on a little more good news to this post. Wes and I just (barely) read this email:
3/10/2008
Spencer Truman
Dear Spencer,
I am pleased to inform you that you have been admitted to Brigham Young University as a graduate student. We look forward to having you join us for your graduate studies and trust that your graduate experience will be both challenging and rewarding...
Interpretation: Wes was admitted to BYU's MPA program!!! We've been biting our nails and saying fervent prayers for MONTHS now!
Don't know if any hearts could be happier than ours today.

Congratulations all around. What relief and joy. We are so happy for all of you. Lucy will be such a great big sister!
That's phenomenal! Wes, you must feel like Will Smith at the end of the movie that shares your blog's name. Years of emotional beatdowns followed by moments of exquisite joy. Congrats!
Congratulations to the whole family! Another lil' Lucy will make this world an even better place. And Wes, I knew you could do it man! Way to be! And Lori, so not to leave you out, way to be pregnant. From all the pregnant ladies I have observed in my life, that is a pretty incredible feat! Keep up the great work Trumans!

Dear, dear friends and family:
We are so grateful for all of your encouragement and love!!
THANK YOU FOR SHARING IN OUR EXCITEMENT!! Thank you for all of these happy, thoughtful comments. WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I guess since bad things can come all at once, good things can too! I am glad you are getting your well-deserved share of good things! Congratulations!
Yeah! I am so excited for you and Wes. How far along are you? Are you feeling okay?
Awesome! I was rooting for you guys all along. Heck, I would have admitted Wes if it was my program. Good luck and have a great MPA program!
Also, congrats on the new arrival! I actually just skimmed the post the first time because I was in a rush, and I only saw the last thing mentioned, but the other glad titing was no less (indeed, it was more) important and wonderful. Congratulations!
A big congratulations from the Bjorkmans! I really am so happy for you guys. Your little family is so adorable and I've loved catching bits and pieces of what's going on with you guys through your blog. Congratulations on both again!
And thanks for the birthday wish Lori. :)
I am so excited for you! I must agree with Amy, your mom, and Wes's mom. You truly are blessed for your faithfulness! Let us know when you are due! Hope that all goes well for you. Congratulations Wes!
We should plan a time to get together. Let me know when you aren't busy with life!
I have to comment one more time on the 38 comments! Wow. That must be a record. :)
Thanks SO MUCH for all the love!!
We're so grateful for friends and family members who care so much about us and who rejoice in our happiness.
We love you all so much!!!!!
For those curious parties: Baby is due around Sept. 12
Oooo... September 12 is a great day to be born :)
Jeanine: I KNOW!! (And Heather!) I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high...Lucy was so late! But...possible. Definately possible.
YES!! Congratulations on all the developments and accomplishments. Good luck with the little one and with grad school!
(Ron, even though it says Marji. It's from all of us)
What can I say to add to the love here? I am so happy for you guys! You deserve happiness and I'm glad that you're wallowing in it at this point! Congrats to all of you!
Such wonderful news!! Congratulations to you all! So excited for your new little one, and Wes "WAY TO GO"! We love you guys!
CONGRATS ON EVERYTHING!!! Dad called to tell me about getting into the program and I think I left him a little more deaf in that ear (if possible, love you dad :) that is such good news!!! Hope you are feeling better Lori! Love you guys!
Yeah! for the 12 of Sept. Let's hope she/he comes on that day!!!:) Didn't know that Jeanine's birthday was that day also. Still as so over joyed for you. Has it been rough thus far?
NO WAY! Hurray! I can't believe I am just barely reading this! Yippie! Wahoo! Congratulations! Seriously! I don't know what else to even say...
Congratulations! Both announcements are so exciting!! What a cute little video too! Little Lucy is adorable!
Hooray for baby! +
Hooray for the MPA acceptance=
Double Hooray!
What a happy equation!
Remember that one time when you got 51 comments on a single post?
I am so thankful for miracles and especially for yours. Congrats! My heart is thumping for you, too. Love you!
Congratulations!!! What great news! You might get a baby for your birthday, Lori! If I remember correctly, your birthday is right before mine...and heather's is right before yours! My mom saved the 1981 newspaper clipping of our birth announcements =). And...HOLY COW! You have a lot of fans of your blog! I've never seen so many comments on a blog!!!
One more thing! I think you have a future artist on your hands! That is a very advanced drawing for how young she is!!!!
congrats!!!! you are miss popularity!! :)
LOVE the new quotes! Too too funny... and nice that Lucy thinks you guys kissing is good... William tells us that kissing is yucky.
Thank you so much, friends!!!!!
Jeanine - does William already think it's gross?! That cracks me up!!
Wendy - we've often thought Lucy was a pretty talented little artist...but we're much more confident in your artistic opinion than in ours!
