So we were planning on having another baby in a year or two, but looks like something else happened instead...We're pregnant and entering my second trimester. Our baby is due March 11th. I spent the first week in disbelief - not sure if I was ready to take on this new responsibility. Our oldest boy has really taken me for a spin lately. Keeping up with his terrible two's has just about done me in. I think the thought of doing the same thing every year for at least the next couple years with two more two-year-olds is enough to make me crazy. So as I was writing myself this crazy tale a few things occurred to me:
The first is- there is no greater gift on this earth than the gift of a child. The blessings each child brings into our lives are endless. The relationship we enjoy with each one is priceless, and the love we get in return is never ending. We feel so blessed to be bringing this child in our home. We pray for the power and ability to provide the best opportunities for this baby and our other boys. As we pray for this confirmation the Lord has helped us feel like He will provide- as they are His children too.
We are grateful and overwhelmed right now. We feel dwarfed by the enormous responsibility that is before us. Now more than ever- we close our eyes and believe. We have faith in the future. We know we can do hard things. We are grateful that we don't have to do those hard things alone and that soon we will have three (instead of two) beautiful children lending us their smiles and holding us up in our most difficult of times. We know the Lord will sustain us and we pray for his strength as we try to be worthy of His care.
