God is Good...All the time... publishing from July 25, 2014

All in God's timing and for his GLORY!

     We are due with another little blessing in December, and couldn't be more excited! After my not so wonderful pregnancy with Hunter, we gave the thought of a second baby to God. It had to be his timing and straight from him for us to be ready to face the challenges coming our way.
     I am 20 weeks today with a  sweet baby girl! She has already proven herself to be outgoing and very feisty. Her almost constant movement keeps me going each day. I am amazed how she has completely filled our hearts more than we ever thought possible. I think each parent initially wonders if they can love another child like they love their first, but I truly have no doubt that I love her just as much already. My prayer recently has been that my body provide a safe and healthy environment for her to grow in until her due date. So far so good... she is growing right on track and I feel really good!

A few things Hunter has said about his Baby Sister... he is so incredibly sweet.

-Every night he asks to love and lay on her. He cuddles my tummy and just grins.

- He of course has asked "why is your tummy getting bigger"

- He talks about things he wants to do with her "when she gets bigger and comes out to play"
The other night he asked "when baby sister gets bigger, can I swing her in my swing?" I said "of course"... H said "She will go really high, and she will like it".

-He truly amazes me how he puts things together and the full sentences he comes up with like...
"You love me and you love my baby sister".

-He thinks it is "so funny" when Poppy calls her Sally (not her name by the way).

*When we first found out we where having a little girl, I thought of the "brother/sibling bond" Hunter might miss out on. My brother and I are not really close, but aren't real close in age ether. Also a few of our friends only have boys or only have girls, and I knew he might miss that. But now after seeing the way he already loves her and cares for her I know they will have an amazing bond. This little girl is so lucky to have H as a big brother, as he is to have her as a little sister. I cannot wait to watch them grow up together.
