Our BIG News!

May 31, 2012 by Sarah

Yes, you probably guessed it…….Kevin and I are expecting baby #3!

And we happen to have found out a few weeks ago that baby #3 is a precious little BOY!

Needless to say, we are so excited about this newest blessing!  I have had a few ultrasounds already, and this little guy looks super healthy so far.  We are so thankful and are praying that good health will continue!

As I’ve mentioned to a few people, I know God’s timing has been perfect with the order of our children.  I believe 100% that He knew my heart was not ready for another boy when we conceived for the second time, and we have been so blessed by our little Savannah.  I love being a mom to a little girl!

In God’s great love and mercy, He has chosen to give us another little boy and we are thrilled!  This third pregnancy hasn’t been without it’s share of fears, but the Lord has been faithful as usual.  He has reminded me of scripture in those moments, and we know He is mighty to handle me and my hormones!  🙂

We are officially due October 20th, but will most likely deliver early as we did with Savannah.  Keep us all in your prayers if you can!   And if you have any original baby boy names, please feel free to leave a comment!  Kevin and I are nowhere near coming to an agreement, so we need all the help we can get!

    I'm still so excited for you!!! I understand about the names– Jason and I didn't agree on names until about 10 weeks before our babies were born. I finally broke down and just started reading a baby name book aloud to him!

    Hi, I don't normally comment on blogs but I wanted to say congratulations! I found your blog after my second little boy was born, he passed away while I was 37 weeks. We have since had 2 other little boys and they are such blessings. My pregnancy with my 3rd son was so very difficult and scary. We did almost lose him too but God was so good in suistaining his life until his birth. Then with my last pregnacy it was scary but notthe same. I felt like I was able to enjoy it again and was much more excited. I didn't have as strong of a fear of coming home from the hospital without a baby. Then when he was born it was precious. When my 3rd was born my emotions were so different because I was still grieving the birth of my Nathan. I was so happy to be holding a baby but I was still grieving (I don't know how else to say it). Then with this last birth the pain of Nathan's loss wasn't as strong and made our new son's birth so much fun. All that to say, I hope that you will be able to find so much joy from this pregnacy and birth. I know that Savannah has brought healing and this little boy will be such a blessing also. I will pray that the Lord will protect him and it if it is the Lord's will you will have the joy of holding your precious little boy.

This house was built in the 1940s and likely housed a family our size, or maybe larger.  It's amazing to think how our concept of wants and needs have changed since then.

"The answer to the purposelessness and hollowness "The answer to the purposelessness and hollowness we feel is found not in us but outside of us. The solutions to our problems and pain aren't found in self-love, but in God's love.

The God who created us, who created the universe, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever, is the one who provides us with the purpose and satisfaction we're seeking. While self love depletes, God's love for us doesn't. He showed us his love by sending Jesus to die for our sins so that we could be forgiven and live forever with him. Self-love is superficial and temporary. God's love is profound and eternal."

"The first myth that you are enough. My counter was this: you're not you'll never be enough, and that's okay, because God is."
