When life gave us lemons, we made....lemonade a BABY!!
We have arrived at a completely new chapter in our life. It's one that was unexpected in a lot of ways but has brought so much peace into our home.
I have been a stay at home Mom for a few months now and it's been quite the transition. We have 7 kids between the two of us and it was SUCH a blast this summer to be home with them all. For reals, I don't know how we could have pulled it off without me home.
And then? This happened.
Was it planned? Yes.
How many does that make? 8. E I G H T.
Have you ever known something was right but fought it the entire way? That was me. And sometimes that is STILL me.
My baby is going into first grade, ya'll! All the kids are in all. day. school! We can have date WEEKENDS that are KIDLESS (don't get me wrong...it's still so hard to be away from our kids!) We have really just tried to make the most out of our "Newlywed" time.
We were both working full time and our plates were overloaded with everything and anything life. It just didn't make sense. But we tried anyway. It didn't happen right away. But I guess it was time.
We hear often that an "Ours" baby can bring you closer as a couple and as a family. We can see that happening already in it's own way. Seeing the baby moving around on the ultrasound made it real to me and softened my heart about it all. I promise I am grateful. Just still trying to wrap my head around starting over and adding this twist into our ever so complicated life.
So? because all the kids are going to be at school I'm going to be focusing more on hair and photography and I seriously couldn't be more excited about it. It's almost like...I'm starting to recognize some of the parts of the old Annie come through and, well? I've been looking for her for a while.
HERE'S TO HAVING 8 (EIGHT) KIDS!
