Every one I know is pregnant or just had a baby. My “little cousin” and his wife just had a precious baby boy earlier this month. A sweet blog friend just had a precious baby boy – she killed me with this video! Another sweet blog-friend (but since we’ve met in person, I guess I can just call her a sweet friend!) is due in November! With a boy!
THREE friends at church are pregnant and all due in January/February/March. Oh, AND I just found out that one friend is pregnant with TWINS! How amazingly awesome is that?!
A bunco friend is due in March.
Who else??
Oh, Kelly from KellysKornerblog.com just announced they are pregnant and due in March.
The old husband and I have not come to any conclusions on what we’ll do. You see, it’s hard. We have two beautiful, healthy, adorable, loud, almost in big-school, daughters. They are wonderful (99.9% of the time-ha!) and why wouldn’t we want to multiply that?
With that, though, comes multiplying the funds. We’re a one income family. We really believe that we’re doing what’s best for our family by my not working outside of the home. Our income will go up with raises, but would that be enough? Some days it seems hard as is to do the things we’d like to do for our family.
Also – I do not do well with newborns. Postpartum depression is a downer. It takes me a while to get out of that fog.
Plus – did I mention our girls will be 5 & 3 over the next few months. Big Sister will be 5 at the end of this month! Little Sister,3, in October! We’re out of diapers, done with breastfeeding, done with huge diaper bags to tote around. We can buckle ourselves into our carseats! Oh, life is a little (lot!) easier than it was with little bitties.
But (oh, I hate buts), my heart’s desire is to have a large family with craziness and chaos, huge Friday Night Family Nights – HUGE Christmas get togethers when our children have their own families.
I just don’t know what we’ll do. I imagine we’ll be praying more and more about it. Don’t worry – you’ll be in the loop after we figure things out!
And who knows? Maybe God’s plan is to cherish what we have and not to bless us with more biological children. Maybe He has other plans to multiply our brood. I’m excited to see what God’s Plan is for us. I’m in prayer over our family daily, hourly. Minute by minute some days!Whatever God has in store for us, I know I will praise Him.
The Lord has done great things for us and we will shout with JOY!
