My daughter came along when my son was just 13 months old. I cried a river over not being able to have enough time, thinking that Chase was going to be short-changed somehow. How awesome it has been to look over these last 13 years since my daughter arrived and be able to say, with my WHOLE heart, that Jesus knows the exact best time for sibling spacing. And something amazing will happen--you will soon never imagine it any other way! You are a doting momma. It makes sense that there is a little ache there. I so enjoy reading about your mothering experiences. My heart is with you as you welcome a new child and remember the one who is waiting for you in heaven.

And I am so sorry for the continual ache for your sweet Cora... and I so admire your courage and faith as you carry on. I hope in the coming days that God's constant will be very clear in each new step as the mom of two earthly children and one heavenly child. You are going to do a great job. All three of your babies are gifts from God and He chose YOU to be their mama... long before they were thought of... isn't that beautiful? I remember the waiting for our 2nd little boy. My biggest fear was "can I do this and can I do it well?" Mine are still thriving, and through the strength of God, life has continued to move full-speed ahead. Our boys are 23 months apart... now 3 and 16 mos. Beautifully busy. Keep your chin up with your eyes on Him who is never changing. :) I am excited to meet him and to see Levi love on him. Our oldest was soooo sweet with the new baby!! My labor and delivery was a breeze and I hope yours is, too. Much love to you and your family... thank you for allowing us to be a part of your life and esp for sharing our Lord. He loves you so... may He bless your heart with peace that surpasses all understanding in the days and weeks to come. I hope you will "see" Him today and that He will cause you to smile!Selenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12607569602552928573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042178429812658517.post-57241081505481931912011-09-20T09:04:43.618-05:002011-09-20T09:04:43.618-05:00Change is hard!!!!

I'm going through a change/adjustment period myself now that I'm mama to 2 boys. I keep worrying about my oldest and hoping and praying that he's okay with everything, especially me taking care of his baby brother.

I thought I could sense in your posts the last few weeks that you felt the same twinge of regret at no longer having all your time for Levi as I felt just before my little boy (my No. 2) came along. But as you know already, when you see Levi with his new little brother for the first time, or the first time you see Little Brother gazing adoringly at Levi or giggling at each other's tricks, you will know that what Levi looses this week in your time he will gain immeasurably and forever, in having a little brother. Before long, you will feel ganged up on lol and they will play together in ways that much as we try, adults just don't do. I hope i'm making sense, a little sadness is so understandable and in your case, its always even moreso but these two together, with big sissy looking down on them from above, are going to be quite the unstoppable duo.
