My Life Rhapsody

Supersized Blessings

I notice the last time I wrote that I hadn't birthed our son yet. Well, on December 5th (11 days overdue) he finally arrived. And get this - he weighed in at 11 POUNDS 4 OUNCES! He is huge! Now at a little over 2 months old, he is over 15 pounds and in 6-9 month clothes. He is one BIG BOY!

The last two months have been typical of life with a newborn - very little sleep, hormones out of control, jealousy issues with DD as she adjusts to not being the center of the universe anymore. Until the last week or so, I haven't felt on top of my game, but rather have felt behind on everything. But DS has just now begun sleeping for more than 2 hours at a time, so I too am getting a little better sleep now.

We are just thanking God for this blessing. A year ago we had no idea if we'd be able to have any more children, if we would forever be a family of three. But here we are now, with a big bundle of joy in our arms. We had new family pictures taken last week - now have our family of 4 shot hanging on the wall. What a joy! How blessed we are. And how we continue to desire more children, but certainly feel that we have been blessed and could be content with our DD and our DS if they are all the babies we ever have. God knows the future. And we know He has our best in mind.

God is good. All the time!
