Housing a Soul

Last Sunday, we found out that we are expecting our fourth child. But, I wonder if that's the right way to say it. We are so exited at the thought of adding another "arrow to our quiver", but has God really promised us that? All we have is this moment. Tomorrow is not a guarantee for anyone. All I can know for sure is that God has chosen to use my body to create and house a soul right now. That is such an honor. We did not have the oppurtunity to share a life on this earth with our first baby. God created that precious soul in me. I housed that soul for 6 1/2 weeks. Then God took our little treasure right up to is arms. Now our child worships at the feet of Jesus for eternity. We chose to name our baby Faith because we felt that was what God was teaching us through our loss. Since then, we have had a boy, a girl, another boy, and now I am housing another soul. Yes I say I'm expecting. I'm just challenging the wording. Should I be "expecting" or should I just be thankful for each moment God lets me share with this precious soul whose body is growing within me? Thank you Jesus for this moment.
