Baby #5

I sit here to write this post and the tears start falling.

How can I ever express how grateful I am?

My husband and I recently found out that we are expecting baby #5. While my emotions have been tender, the deep feeling of gratitude I have surpasses all other feelings. I can already sense this sweet spirit that will be joining our family and I am in awe of the blessings my Heavenly Father has given me.

Very early in my pregnancy, we realized we had two choices. We could either be scared, fearful, and nervous for what could happen, or we could be hopeful, happy, and have faith.

Either way, it's in the Lord's hands.

So every time I feel sick, I smile and think of the miracle growing inside of me. Every time I get tired during the day, I remember why I am exhausted and suddenly, it's not so bad.

I cannot tell you all in words how grateful I am to you also. There are many people who have prayed with me and have supported me through these past few years. I know I will receive continual support and that means more to me than I can ever say.

Thank you.

  1. Krista, I am so excited for you. I loved reading your post... you have so much faith. "Either way it's in the Lord's hands" and it's so true. I love your words on how you will be hopeful, happy and have faith (instead of the opposite). I need to be better at that myself. Thanks for your sweet post.
