And we had both agreed - we’re done. We have everything we have always
wanted - and we had long since come to acceptance with this being our
“last” of each milestone. Our youngest is almost out of diapers and
we’re ready to move on! Time to make that official...
But God disagreed. Days after getting the doctor’s number to arrange the “official” part, we learned that I was carrying another life. Child #4. Talk about disbelief! Wowza. Four. That’s a lot. This can’t be happening. Somebody wake me up!
But this is no dream, and just as quickly as the panic set in, God reminded me that His plans are better than my plans - ALWAYS. He also gave me the overwhelming reminder that this was already a life - one that He already knows. One that He has set apart and created for a purpose. What an amazing and humbling thought. He has breathed life into these cells and caused them to grow and multiply, creating someone that He already has plans for. And I get the immense honor of carrying and mothering this beautiful life.
So it's official... we are going to be a well-balanced four kid family... with an even two girls, two boys in July 2018. Party of 6. It would be a lie to say that we are not still stunned, scared and in disbelief... but we know that God has a greater plan than we can imagine and I choose to be thankful, grateful, honored to carry this life. I can’t wait to meet this little guy.
