Half a dozen

Lord willing, we will be welcoming baby #6 in May! Here's our first glimpse of our newest little one. We could see little legs wiggling already. Incredible! Every single time it is just incredible. 

It does seem a bit overwhelming at times to think about having 6 children. We feel like we are just getting our feet back under us after having twins. But God has planned this one for our family at this time and we are so thankful. 

I know some people think we are crazy to have this many children. A few years ago when a friend of mine was expecting her sixth, I remember thinking "this is getting out of control." And I even knew I would like to have a big family and I still thought that. It was very judgmental of me! 

All I can tell you is that this is what God has called us to. When I feel fearful or overwhelmed, I have to remind myself of the truth. And the truth is that He is the only one who gives life and that He says children are a blessing. So we will celebrate this life and blessing and run to Him with any fears, frustrations, or worries we may have.  

We are excited to see who you are, little baby! And you have five sisters and brothers who are VERY excited to meet you!
