Join in on the excitement!

You read it correctly!

Chris and I are expecting our second child towards the end of the year.

My official due date is Jan 1st, however with my history this baby could come anytime from the end of Nov to beginning of Jan.

This pregnancy was not planned. Chris and I were completely surprised.

If I am going to be very honest, when I found out I cried out of shock.

Not because I did not want this baby but.....

I just had Nash
This was not fair to Nash
I have not forgotten the pains of labor(everyone promised I would)
All the baby weight gain from Nash is not gone (still had about 10 lbs)
Pregnancy was not kind to me with Nash
How in the world are we going to handle two babies that are 13-14 months apart
What is everyone going to think

After the first few phone calls...to my Mom and my friend Dianna

and balling my eyes out. They reminded me that ALL children are a blessing from God.

"Behold, children are a gift of the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward" Psalm 127:3

I should view this pregnancy as a huge blessing.

After the trials, drugs and years of trying to get pregnant with Nash,

God blessed us with a perfect gift when we least expected it.

Dianna told me that with your second baby you will always wonder how you could love another baby as much as your first. But once you hold the baby the love is there.

It is amazing how God works!!!!!

Chris and I are now completely over the moon about this baby.

The fears are still there:

how will we handle two small babies

what does this mean for Chris's baseball career

what do we do about my job once the baby is born

financially...(why does money not grow on trees?!?!?!?)

But the one thing we know,

"I Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Strengthens Me" Philippians 4:13

So please join Chris, Nash and I as we celebrate the new life that has been gifted to us!

We would love for you to join us in prayers for the little one and our family.

Praise be to God!
