Pregnant with baby 3

3 years of enjoying the blessing and chaos of 2 boys and planning to go out more and explore but God had different plans for us again! We found out we were pregnant with baby #3 and i was a little bit in shock. Who knew that from being diagnosed infertile 7 years ago, I would be having more than 1 child.

At that time we were getting ready to go camping and camping out in my son’s football games or taekwondo competitions but lo and behold i had to let these go should i need to bed rest again.

But surprisingly in this 3rd pregnancy i did not have to go through all those again. I was perfectly healthy, no bleeding and blood sugar wasn’t high and though the risks may be higher because i was over 35, it went so smoothly and i was able to attend to both my sons and even in our first year of officially homeschooling all by God’s grace!

when i gave birth almost exactly 1 year ago, even the CS the 3rd time around went well. Except there was a little bit of a hiccup when Jason got stricken with the flu and i followed suit coughing my bowels out with a newborn clutched to my breast. This went on for 2 weeks and at one point i just broke down from being fatigued, caring for a newborn without the usual help of my husband beside me since he went back to the hospital to get admitted.
But even then, praise music carried me through it was as if God was telling me that I wasn’t truly alone in this journey.

fast forward 1 year later my newborn is now about to turn 1. He is such an easy baby as we carried him in all our events and activities this year. Learned that having faith in God will be tested sometimes through trials and this is also to prove to ourselves if we do have faith.

thankful to God for the gifts of life that He entrusted to our care, we are not deserving but may we be good and worthy stewards of sharing God to them.
