I am so glad to see that you have connected. I cannot even begin to imagine all that you have gone through an are still going through. For me, the hardest part about life is the wondering, what do I do now. Pretty much nothing has ever worked out the way I planned, and it’s so frustrating! But the peace always comes later (sometimes much later) as I see God’s plan is so much greater than mine could have ever been. (not easier, but better). We love you guys!

After I had June I felt like I was completely done having kids; the thought of letting a new baby come disrupt our balance was so off-putting. But eventually I started thinking of a new baby as less of an intruder and as more of a child of my own I would love as much as Evan and June. Of course, now that Christian has come and gone, any other baby would be a very unwelcome intruder. If I stop feeling that way eventually, maybe I’ll be ready for another.

But maybe not. Life has gotten confusing, hasn’t it?

And unfortunately, there is no right answer. But I have no doubt that the same God holding sweet Amelia will bring another child to you in Hos perfect timing. Not that that will be easy(if that is His plan at all, I won’t dare to assume), but if He brings you another little one, He will also be present to provide you the strength to go through it all! Praying for your heart, you beautiful mother!
