I am pregnant again and we are expecting our second child together in December, my due date is actually Christmas Day! We are excited to share this news and are looking forward to what it means for our family and especially for our current youngest son.
It is important to us to build a family, a community for our children. We don’t feel a great deal of support from our extended family. The people in my life that I had been most excited for my children to meet died before the first one was born. We hope to instill unconditional love and support for each other within our family. Now with a second on the way we will have my husband’s oldest son, our first child together and a second.
Yes, this pregnancy has been a little harder…I’m older and have a toddler running around at home. But I am grateful for my health and the baby’s health so far. I am grateful for my husband and our son. I am grateful for what we are trying to build for our family.
As a girlfriend exclaimed when I told her I was pregnant again, we will have two under two…and it will be amazing, terrifying, exhausting and rewarding. I can’t wait!
