The best things in life are worth comin...Hey there! The best things in life are worth coming by accidentally. Says the mother of two very big accidents! You will never regret giving your first child a playmate and friend for life - well, maybe only during diaper changes and midnight feedings - but those things are only for a season. You are so blessed! I remember being so scared - how are we gonna PAY for this? How am I gonna do it? And somehow, both of my kids are still here! And their mostly crazy momma is none the worse for wear! Hang in there! You are gonna do just fine - these things have a way of working themselves out!beautiful chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12510392872344409451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8928557274332783549.post-62283056020159446922007-06-12T22:44:00.000-05:002007-06-12T22:44:00.000-05:00and i couldn't have said it better myself! 28 year...and i couldn't have said it better myself! <BR/><BR/>28 years later, 3 terrific children here on earth with me, one in heaven waiting on me, and a wonderful new daughter and son, and the most perfect baby grand in the world, those memories and thoughts are as fresh today as 28 years ago this journey began and i can asure you all it does all work out and God does know what he's doing. just relax and give Him the reigns!marmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09688697412816923732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8928557274332783549.post-65983019620970454812007-06-12T15:57:00.000-05:002007-06-12T15:57:00.000-05:00You wrote things that I think every pregnant woman...You wrote things that I think every pregnant woman, planned pregnancy or not, 2nd, 3rd, or 8th child, young, old, thinks at this stage in life. Having a baby, a human being that you will be responsible for, is downright scary no matter what! But, Crystal, I have absolutely no doubt, no doubt in my mind that this baby will be a great blessing and that you and Jerry will continue to be the awesome parents that you are! You amaze me with what you have done with Jacob and working and how together you always are. Yes, having another baby will be an adjustment, but I know no one more equipped or ready for the challenge than you. <BR/><BR/>And Jacob will fall in love with this baby and you and Jerry will continue to look at your two adorable children with love and then look at each other with even more love. Children do that to you. <BR/><BR/>And lastly, God's timing is always better than ours. We may not get it ...ever. But we have to believe that. Mason, as you know, was quite a shocker my Junior year of college, and I will be honest, even though I love him more than words will ever express, there were many times, I thought, "What were you thinking, God?" I felt incompetent, horrible, young, stupid, but I survived. This baby is coming in God's perfect timing. And therefore he will work out all the kinks. He will. <BR/><BR/>Plus, I will have a three month old ish baby so you can call me in tears, and then we can cry together !! and then laugh together and talk about that glorious time in our lives when we had time to scrapbook. <BR/>Love ya!no_ifferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06051258006626301918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8928557274332783549.post-59246561127560793022007-06-10T21:50:00.000-05:002007-06-10T21:50:00.000-05:00I feel you! While I haven't been in your same exac...I feel you! While I haven't been in your same exact situation, I can tell you the news that I was expecting #3 was quite a surprise and not so very welcome at first. I didn't tell anyone until I was about 4 months because it took that long for me to get happy about it. =) After having had three unplanned children in a row, I've decided that God doesn't really care what we do to try NOT to have a baby. He gives us these things in His timing, and somehow it will always work out. And not just work out - it will unfold to be part of the purpose and destiny you were called to. I can't wait to see what my three little "accidents" will do for the kingdom of God one day......<BR/><BR/>Oh, you will be dog-tired and not always feel like reading that book to Jacob. You won't shower as much and your house won't be sparkly clean. You'll mostly just hope that neither you nor your house smells too offensive. You and Jerry won't have as much alone time either. But these are all things that will pass. And it's not all so bad in the middle of it either. It's a very sweet chaos. A wonderful mess of life that you will love. Seeing your firstborn love your second is indescribable. So take heart. As your belly blossoms, let your spirit soar with excitement over this new little life! I'm so happy for you!
