WE ARE HAVING ANOTHER BABY!!
After three full years of not being pregnant (which was so strange, because we had three babies in three years), we were feeling that it was time for another baby. I actually took out my IUD at the end of July and I figured out I was pregnant in the beginning of January. I was feeling a bit nauseous and just knew that I was pregnant. It was so exciting to take a pregnancy test and to see it being positive.
I haven't had any appointments yet, so I have no idea how far along I am right now, but if I were to guess...I'm about 16 ish weeks...at least...and baby is due sometime at the end of August/September. I think in the next few weeks we will set up an ultra sound appointment so we can get a better estimate of how baby is doing and how big he/she is. Speaking of he/she...I am 99.999999% sure we are having a GIRL. We'll be so happy with whatever we end up having, but for Kyra's sake...I hope we have a girl. I'm sure she would love the baby if it was a boy but wow...she NEEDS a girl to dress up because Max just doesn't cut it and soon he probably won't let Kyra dress him up anymore. hehe
We are not finding out the gender this time around and are going to be surprised. I am 100% firm in that decision and actually excited to do it that way. We'll be having the baby at home. I have always wanted to go that route and now that I've had at least one kid naturally, I think I feel a little bit more prepared for what to expect. I have been watching a ton of videos on natural labor and wow...not going to lie...I am remembering the anxiety I felt while giving birth to Max. I am going to start preparing mentally NOW to have a peaceful birthing experience.
I am a bit nervous to birth baby at home but a dear friend send me this text one day that has really stuck with me and gave me great comfort. She said, "This is the scripture that got me through all those times of everyone telling me to go with modern medicine because it's so much safer...." Trust in the Lord with 'all thine heart' and lean not unto ' thine own understandings' 'in ALL thy ways acknowledge Him' and He shall direct thy path!" What people tend to forget is labor and birth is 100% in the Lords hand whether you have the baby at home or at the hospital. People forget that His hand is in it all, that He is the one that keeps the baby safe and healthy... Not modern medicine. I'm not saying I don't agree with modern medicine or that it doesn't help, but in the end the lords will be done. Sorry it's so long. Hope it helps and makes sense! love you! You'll make the right decision. Doesn't matter what that decision is it will be right for you! Just remember that!"
One of my favorite things about being pregnant is feeling the baby move. I felt Max really early on and same with this baby. It's like a fun little secret between just the two of us. It'll be fun when baby gets bigger and the kids can feel the movement. I LOVE that the kids are so excited to have another baby in the family. They are always asking me how big baby is. I am sure that 9 months to a little kid is an eternity! We kind of had "that" conversation with the kids about how babies are made (daddy plants a seed in mommy and the baby grows) and they had the funniest comments. I wish I had written them all down at the time but it was priceless. The next day, Ethan came up to me with an apple seed and said, "look! It's a seed that is going to be a baby!" haha
Not only is it fun to feel baby movements but I LOVE seeing my tummy grow bigger. I have always loved baby bumps!
Happy to be welcoming another precious spirit into our family. We have felt a little spirit hanging around us every now through out the past three years and letting us know, "I'm here...but take your time." I am thankful for the time that we had to focus on our three kids but it's definitely time to add another baby to the mix.
