If you haven't figured it out
We are expecting our 4th child. We are ecstatic. I'm 9 weeks today and I'm due September 12th. Eden is 6.5 months old, so when this belly bean baby is born, the age gap will be around 13 months apart. FUN!! Right! Right. I guess is all in a matter of perception. To me, I feel mentally prepared to handle this challenging task. Where how our society is now, society in my opinion thinks that 2 kid's is just enough and anything over that is a headache. Well, I do get headaches but I LOVE being a mother more than anything. All comments I have recived have been pleasent, I think people are more shocked that we planned it. Ava and Gabrielle are 22 months apart, as I certainly know that is not as close as 13 months. It was quite challenging for me. Going from 0 to 1 kid and then 1-2 kids was the most challenging and I'm still alive I made it thru that challenging time in life. Going from being a single couple to then having a little princess who does not sleep at night 3 hours on a good night and Cry's all day and I have no friends or no one to come visit. That was challenging for me. Once I had Gabrielle, I then had a newborn and a VERY NEEDY toddler. Well, my Big girls are older and are very independent in thier own respect. They clean, dress and can feed themselves. They play well with one another and they play and keep Eden company. Things have feel into place nicely so far. They have been such a GREAT help to me and I'm very appreciative of it.

I'm super happy for you! I know you might *feel* the need to somewhat "explain" your reasoning for having another so soon, but you actually do not have to explain, to anyone :) Regardless of all the great reasons, the important one is that it is what you & Aaron want. Period. End of discussion :) But, adding in the other reasons, I think it is great and a smart plan. You Go Girl. I know you can handle it. Prayers for a healthy pregnancy all the way <3
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you and Aaron. You are great parents! As for having them close together, Bill and his brother, Dave are 15 months apart and their mom loved it! She says she wishes she had had their other brother, Robert closer to them. He's more than 5 years younger. Anyway, your girls are beautiful and the baby dedication was so sweet! ♥
