Me and My Girl...

It was a little over a year ago when the doctor delivered us some shocking news... we were having a girl! As a mom of three boys at the time, this was almost unbelievable to me. Unlike what most people think, we didn't keep trying until we had a girl. We kept trying until we had four children. That was the promise that had been delivered to my heart so many years ago. I truly expected, and as our track record well demonstrated, that we would have another boy. Boy was I surprised to find out otherwise.

I am delighted that God delivered our little Kearyn girl to our family. She truly completes it. I always say what a blessing she has been to our family but it occurred to me what a blessing she has been to each of her brothers as well. She has brought out qualities in them that weren't there before. She has brought out a gentleness in them as well as a protective element in each of them. It has been so fun to witness. I can't help but to think how different their lives would have been without their baby sister, not just my husband's life and not just my life. She has truly been a gift to our whole family.

Subsequently, it has probably been the most difficult with her regarding my treatment. She is my last baby and having to wean her early was hard. On the other hand, I am grateful to even have her here in the first place to have to wean. God's timing was just so amazing in all of this. I know I keep saying that I will be blogging about that soon and I will, so stay tuned! :-) Not having as much energy, I feel like I can't take care of her like I use to. On the other hand, this has given Jason some great time to bond with his baby girl. As you can see, if you look close enough, for every down side - there is an up side.
