I’m struggling to find the words. I sit to write, and nothing comes out. I’m exhausted and overwhelmed. My parents kept the girls this weekend for us so we had some time to rest. That was glorious. If only I hadn’t had to get up to pee every hour, it would have been REALLY amazing. I’ve needed rest, but it’s hard to get.
I just don’t know how to form the words.
What the end of this pregnancy means to me.
How do I write on what the end means, when I don’t really know?
We don’t know what is ahead for us. We know we plan to adopt our next child, but we don’t know after that. Will we be done? Hubby is convinced I’ll want to have another of our own, but who knows. So my heart aches and is full. I’m anxious for what is ahead over this next year with three so little.
I’m anxious for what it will teach me, how I will be stretched.
I have my giant “to do” list of things to accomplish before the baby comes. I’m in my usual mode of nesting/conquering all of the things. But am I being fully intentional with my time? This past month, I have stepped back so much from blogging and social media. I want to pour into my girls as much as possible, but barely have the time to breathe.
What will this new season ahead look like for me? I have lots of goals and plans for blogging, but my family comes first. Will I have time for all I want to do? Is it just hormones making my brain race a million miles a minute?? #quitepossibly
In exactly 16 days we will meet our third beautiful little girl.
On that day, I know that all the questions and worries will disappear.
All that will matter are my three little blonde beauties and their daddy.
(unless we get a shocker of a lifetime, and BabyM looks like daddy…yeah right!)

CODE IT & LOAD IT!
Lots of love from Houston! Can’t WAIT to be back in Edmond and meet my 3rd gorgeous niece! I know it’s hard, but try to enjoy the last 17 days. It’ll be the last as a family of 4! And as far as having 3 so young, you’ll be amazing! You were born for such a time as this! Love you!
Oh friend…what a time of anticipation…the end of pregnancy! I’ll be praying that He will allow your heart and mind to be at rest in Him, and that you will be able to soak in each moment. I enjoyed reading your heart…even if you didn’t know exactly how to form the words.
I’m just soooo ready to be done, but trying to live in the moment of where we are! I’ve been trying to get out and do stuff with the big girls because I know it will be a tough spring that we might not leave the house much
Thanks for your encouragement! Love you friend!
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11
Whatever the coming months bring, know the Lord has got this. You just have to sit back, trust and enjoy the ride. You are a great mom and this little girl is coming into a family full of love for each other and the Lord. How could it be better? Try to rest and relax and soak in the last few days as a family of four

Thank you so much for the encouragement! You are absolutely right, the Lord has this and I just need to enjoy the ride!! Wish I could hug you after reading your comment, such an encouragement!
You know, mama, IT’S OKAY to wait a few years! I know if I had three in less than three years, it would be insanely difficult to enjoy it. But if you give yourself more than nine months without getting pregnant, it gives you the ability to RELISH your pregnancy more, to love every pukey, awful second. I know that you love having yours super close, but it seems like this pregnancy has been more overwhelming and difficult, as I’m sure it is with two babies already! And they ARE still babies! You don’t have to know what happens next right this second. ENJOY THEM for a little while. Having babies and growing a family doesn’t have to be a race, and your children, no matter how far apart or close together, will be bonded and close because THAT is what’s important to you: family. You don’t have to know all the answers about how many you’ll have right now. Your only job right in this moment is to love these three babies that so desperately love and need you. You are so young, K! And you obviously have no problems conceiving so don’t rush it. Try not bring pregnant for one WHOLE YEAR
It will be nothing but beneficial to you, your girls, and YOUR dreams and ambitions.
