As the last month has arrived, and I’m about to go from a mom of two, to become a mom of three, I’m overwhelmed with emotions.
Sad: Olivia will no longer be the baby of the family, and I’m beginning to notice my sadness with realizing she will be a big sister. As I sat and cuddled with her tonight giving her numerous kisses, I know my time is running out with her being the youngest and it’s quite bittersweet.
Exhausted: My body has hit 9.5 months of pregnancy now, and it’s pushing until the very end. The days of preparation are exciting and yet exhausting because, well, you’re nesting and cleaning everything possible in your home! My body does exceedingly well most days, except it’s preparing for labor, and so it also can have challenging moments.
Anxious: To push through and endure in labor, which I know will be a battle in and of itself, but worth it to have my son in my arms. I’ll finally be able to see what this little guy looks like, his personality, and to learn all about him!
Excitement: Just wanting to finally meet the little one who has kicked me for so long & enjoy him within our family. Getting to watch Leeana & Olivia enjoy him and spoil him with love. To know that all the work in preparing will be worth it when we can finally hold him!
Thankfulness: That the Lord saw fit to add another precious life into our family. To begin this journey of parenting yet another child with my wonderful husband! To have the family and friends we have, that loved us and supported us along the way and are just excited to meet this little boy!
Overall, pregnancy is such an amazing gift and I’m beyond grateful to have made it thus far. We’re almost at the end, and yet everyday seems so surreal to know that we’re going to have another baby in our home here in a few short weeks. It’ll be exhausting with a newborn, yet I’ll love every moment of watching him nurse and sleep and everything else that comes along with this amazing journey! God has been gracious to us, in continue to fill our home and hearts with children! Something I would’ve never imagined years ago would be having 3 kids at this point in my life! Gods plan is always better than my own, and I’ve learned to trust in His Will and not my own throughout all my pregnancies.
We cannot wait to meet you soon Baby G#3! Your two big sisters are going to love spoiling you, and so will your daddy and I! Olivia continues to point to her belly when I ask her where the baby is, and also come up and give you kisses on my belly all the time! Leeana loves to feel your movement and give you kisses too! She frequently will talk to you and remind you that she’s your big sister and loves you! See you soon sweet boy!!
Love,
Mama
