So, you've all been told the news! We are expecting numero 3 and it came as quite a shock to me. In fact, it's still hard to believe and I probably would not even remember that I was knocked up if it were not for the constant feelings of nausea and pure exhaustion. UGH! However, I must say that this one has been the "easiest" as far as throwing up goes. Maybe that means we'll get a boy?!?!
To be honest, the thought of 3 kids under 3 (well, Addison will be ALMOST 3 1/2 when the newbie arrives) scares the crap out of me. I mean, we're outnumbered then!!! More kids than adults in the house? Not to mention that I'll have an 18 month old...keeping in mind that Addison didn't even walk until 19 months! I wanted to have another baby in May or June, when the weather is beautiful and I have Joe home. My due date is DECEMBER 1st! How on earth am I going to do this?
The answer is: I'm not. I simply can't. Not on my own. Not without His help. I don't know how some folks manage without the belief in our Heavenly Father. There are days that I find myself saying "Children ARE a blessing" over and over again just to convince myself that I haven't made some huge mistake.
But, then there are the days (and honestly, MOST of our days are this way) that are pure bliss and filled with a joy that I know only children can bring. My girls are sweet, to me and everyone they meet. They are polite, obedient and just fun. We get compliments everywhere we go about how beautiful Addison's curls are, how pleasant Emerson is, and just about everyone comments on how they both listen so well and how "lucky" I am (luck has NOTHING to do with it people, and that comment just ticks me off, but that's for another post).
And these are the times I find myself saying "Children ARE a blessing" and wonder why we don't have more!
So, bring on the babies............well, at least this one!
Be Blessed,
Melissa
