This has been the fastest 9 months of my life! It feels like a few weeks ago that I woke up Sunday morning (Feb. 14th) and took that pregnancy test. It has only been since this past Sunday that I have felt 'peace' and genuine excitement about delivering another baby. I've been thrilled from the very first moment of finding out we were expecting to have another child but the whole 'delivery' and hard first few weeks has been a looming cloud of anxiety for me. The past week I have been in the process of changing Giselle's nap schedule from two a day to one. It is slowly starting to stick but at first she hardly slept during the day and would throw terrible tantrums at night. We are still praying for wisdom in addressing her bed time tantrums.
So anyway, after church I really felt like a different person. Not fearful, that is. I can't wait to see this little one and be cozy at the Midwifery for two days with my Clay! HA! I told Clay I'm looking forward to the time there...change of pace I guess. I also am looking forward to seeing how God will provide grace for this new challenge of having basically two babies. I know that during the hardest times with Giselle as a baby the Lord drew my heart so close to Himself, that all the fatigue and tears were worth it.

Been thinking of you as the time draws near. You will be marvelous!! Praying for the peace that comes from
God's presence to guide you through and guard you. I love how you said the hard times with Giselle have been the sweetest times with Jesus. I feel the same way and I know in the challenges ahead He will be faithful to be there.
So lovely sweet Katy, I will keep you in my prayers as your life begins to change again. I have been encouraged by you because we are on the same calendar of carrying two babies at the same ages. I understand those difficult days and readjusting so much.
Much love in Christ sweet friend.

You are an amazing momma to Giselle and you will be amazing as a momma of two!! I so respect you Kate and I know the Lord will be so faithful as you welcome another sweet babe into your little family. Can't wait to meet him/her! Praying for much grace over the days ahead.
thank you dear friends
Katy -
Praying for you and the transition to two! Enjoy snuggling your new little one, and let your family help you transition Giselle into big sisterhood. If she has aunties and grandparents to pay attention to her, she'll do fine. Avery seemed to do so much better because Paul's mom or my mom was always playing with her. That gives you freedom to get to know the newest member of your family. Hope it all goes smoothly!
kk- i love these pics and can't wait to meet new baby van!!! You'll do great. Thanks for your example of trusting the lord. Love you more than you know!
