So, we are expecting our second child. Really, I’m not just pushing my stomach out in that picture. I’ve only just begun to get more excited about this baby as my tummy begins to round and desires for food have increased, it has become more real to me that there will be another one. When Ana is having a “bad” day I feel overwhelmed by this knowledge. I think, “Really? Two! That will be a lot of work.” Or “How in the world will we afford two!” But, then I am reminded of the many ways I am blessed. I have a wonderful husband who is incredibly supportive. Recently, he has made various efforts to meet my food desires, whether running to the market or attempting to make fried pizza rolls from scratch. He reassures me in my panic moments, lets me cry when the hormones are too much, and keeps me laughing (or lets me sleep) when I’m weary of running after a one-year old. I also have a beautiful daughter who is funny, outgoing, and smart as she learns to interact with the world around her. I look forward to seeing how she responds to #2. My hopes are for them to eventually be playmates and friends. We are also blessed by people near and far who support us in too many ways to count. It really is all about relationships! Most importantly, I am reminded of a God who meets all of our needs (though at times I’m not sure how He’ll come through) and that truly it is His story and not all about me. My prayer of late has been from Psalm 25: 4-5, “Show me the path where I should walk, O Lord; point out the right road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you.” Although I am about to have a second child and I am nearing the end of my twenties I have so much to learn and be thankful for. I look forward to knowing #2, him or her(?) personality, and hopefully teaching them to walk in the ways of God.
