Happy Mother’s Day!! This year is extra special for me. In 2014, I found out I was pregnant with our son in August. In 2017, I found out I was pregnant on Memorial Day after a discouraging negative test result on Mother’s Day. Two of my friends announced their pregnancies that day and I was happy for them while dying inside. Two weeks later, our prayers were finally answered.
After struggling for 18 months to conceive and crying over 36 negative pregnancy tests, we finally had our baby girl. After having a second c-section, my husband and I were quite content to just have two. We decided to leave our family planning in God’s capable hands. I didn’t stress out. I didn’t take a pregnancy test or two each month. I left it completely up to God.
That being said........
Baby #3 is due in December! We are so excited! We found out the week after Easter! I knew right away that I would be keeping it secret until Mother’s Day! I have succeeded!!
Ruthie will make an excellent big sister! Just 22 months will separate them in age unlike the 34 months between Sonny and Ruth.
Reality is setting in and we still can’t believe it. Two years ago we thought that it was just going to be the three of us. Now we’re going to be a family of five!!
Thank you, Baby, for loving me and for being such an awesome husband and father! These have been the best 5 years of my life!
We are looking forward to the arrival our little one in time for Christmas as a family of five!!
