It's been a whirl wind of activity the past few months. Truly enjoying every moment with the Young boys. Andrew is growing up so fast. Fully potty trained and learning to dress himself along with his ABC's and counting and overall learning what it means to be a light in the dark world. We have had more good days than bad and we are just soaking up every single minute as a family of 3.
This month I started to declutter the baby gear in the attic. I mourned for a day as I pulled out all the sweet little outfits, baby carrier and miscellaneous baby stuff that was on hold as we discussed should we or shouldn't we plan for Baby #2.
One night I decided to throw the doors open and bless those who were in their season of newborn babies. I prayed that the Lord would bring people into my life who would benefit greatly from our decluttering. I started to post on our neighborhood for sale sight and within days, it was all gone.
We have blessed a military family, a single woman and a few friends during this process. It has felt good to know that others are getting to use these things that have been sitting in our attic collecting dust. I have been at peace with the letting go and truly look forward to what the future holds for the Young Family of 3.
And then this conversation took place. As I was cleaning out my childhood box, Andrew found one of my stuffed bunnies I had in my room as a little girl. "Oh! Mom! This is a girl Bunbun for my little sister. I know she is going to love it!!"
"Well Andrew, what happened to being a family of 3?"
"Oh no, Mom! My little sister is coming." He looked me straight in the eye and said, "She will make us a family of 4 soon."
"Well. Okay little dude--let's just wait and see what the Lord has in store for us."
I later texted Jeff and said "Houston we have a problem."
There is nothing to report beyond this conversation but I wanted to document it for memory sake.
The fact that I gave it all away should let you all know that I am fully at peace with the decision to be a family of 3. And I know that if we do have another miracle come our way that God will provide for our needs just He has done over and over again.
