Trust in Trials

It's hard for me to wrap my head around the idea of becoming a family of four. This past year has been an incredible time of laughter, joy, and growth. Children truly are a gift from the Lord. I know speaking for both Peter and I we can't imagine our lives without Isaac. He lights up our every day, one smile from him can put everything into perspective. I've loved this past year as a family of three.

Last week I was put back on a partial bed rest with our second baby. I am truly grateful that I am not in the hospital this pregnancy and that I'm able to be home every night in the same bed as my husband and still able to kiss my sweet Isaac to bed. This in itself is worth the hardship of being off my feet and feeling quite useless/helpless at times. 

Today as I sat on the couch I put my hand on my stomach and just felt my baby move inside me. What a miracle babies and childbirth are. I know that so soon I'll be holding this second child in my arms.

Right now it's time for me to put my complete trust in the Creator's hands. After all, he created the heavens and the earth and all that's in it. Surely he holds my child in his hands as well and his timing will be perfect.
