Just 6, short days to go until sweet Baby Boy #2 arrives.
Let me take a breath. ;)
I simply cannot believe where the Lord has led us these last couple of years and what He has done for us.
I am so very blessed (overwhelmed, but blessed! ;)).
To think that it was just 2 short years ago that I wrote about my longing to be a mama and how I didn't know if I could take one more internal or blood draw or pill or procedure. I longed to be a mom so much and my heart would ache at the thought of Nate never getting to experience fatherhood.
But, with a LOT of faith and prayers...look where we are today!
Nate and I are growing in our marriage every day(we still drive each other insane at times-that's healthy in my opinion! Haha) and have a sweet and handsome precious one year old running (yes, he RUNS everywhere nowadays!) around who is just going to be SUCH a great big brother, I just know it! And another (surprise!)baby boy about to make his debut in less than a week!
Praise the Lord!
Eeep! God is so, so good.
It's funny how He works too. Because in Nate and I's "plans" we were just thrilled to be blessed with one child. I remember saying even if Grayson was our only one what a HUGE blessing he is and I would be okay with just him. Afterall, it did take us nearly 3.5 years to get pregnant the first time, how in the world could it possibly take no effort the second time around, right? ;) Ha!
But, we would also say that we'd love to have another "2 or 3 years down the road." Sheesh. Just goes to show that we are NOT in control here!
If someone would have told me years ago that we would have 2 kiddos 13.5 months apart I would have laughed in their face. 2 kids? And THAT close? Not us! No way! I would have said it would be too much. Too much chaos, too much work, too much money.
But, here we are. We're about to embark on this crazy new adventure in another new chapter of our crazy Duenke family life! :)
And while I am completely nervous and anxious and yes, already overwhelmed at just the thought of being a mama to two under two and how I'm ever going to love TWO as much as I love the ONE, and raising them to be the best possible little men they can be, my heart is so full.
This is all I've ever truly wanted in life.
To be a mama.
Even though most days are already chaotic and stressful, I simply wouldn't trade it for the world. The Lord has blessed me with WAY more than I deserve. I will rejoice and be glad in it. Even on the hard days when I just wanna pull my hair out and run away! ;) Ha.
6 days. and in less than 3 hours from now, it will be 5 days.
Hold on to your hats, it's about to get even crazier, but much more awesome! ;)
