19 Weeks

It’s been many weeks since I last posted. I’ve been through a lot of wonder over you. Mainly I wonder how to navigate in this world of naysayers. . . those who tell me quite frequently that I shouldn’t have had more than 2 children. . .3 at most. And here I am nice and round with my 6th child on the way. It pains me, angers me, that people tell me you and some of your siblings should not be here. What a twisted, crooked, evil, perverted, sad, sad point of view. . .because I love you and I know the treasure that you are.

I am happy, your father is in complete bliss, your siblings are bubbling over with excitement. We love you already and are awaiting your arrival. And some how, the world doesn’t understand–that you are a gift, a miracle, a reward from God. Not that we deserve it, but our God is gracious, sweet one, and He is full of blessings, and that includes you.

19 Weeks

your 8 year old sister is my photographer.
her idea to pose in front of our snowman door.

 

We found out this morning that you are a girl. . .people get excited over these kinds of things. But, boy or girl, you’ve forever been loved. But, I like to know so I can envision you in my mind and whisper words like, “Hey, baby girl” when I talk to you throughout my day.

Time for a bit of pink, bows and ruffles. . .

Six Weeks

I am six weeks pregnant. It sounds strange to hear that for some reason! I found out I was pregnant on a Thursday night; we just got home from dinner. It was an unexpected feeling, unexpected news, new life again. . .just trusting in God.

Daddy had a good feeling that you were in my tummy, but Mommy was surprised.

Your older brothers are 6 yrs, 21 months and 6 months old. . .new baby on the way. Your older sisters are 8 yrs and 10 yrs. . . new baby on the way.

Mama is sleepy right now. I’m thankful that God has graced my womb with life again.
