The last few days have passed slowly as another sickness passes through our house. Ollie has a severe ear infection and has spent most of his time trying to sleep in my lap or being carried throughout the house. I will say that these quiet moments alone with my youngest child have been wonderful.
I am reminded of this time two years ago when I began thinking about becoming pregnant again. I dreaded the reactions that I was sure to get from anyone hearing of a new baby and the looks that would follow me as I proceeded with my everyday life pregnant with one child and holding the little hands of two others. I cannot say what motivates this desire to have children, but I have come to rest in the idea that such a desire is probably from God. Mark and I ultimately decided to trust that He would care for our growing family and supply what is needed.
I experienced a difficult pregnancy but was continually blessed by the encouragement and support from family, friends, and neighbors. It seems apparent that God works through these circumstances. Ollie has been a blessing since he entered our family with his even temperament and love for each of us. He brightens each day. I enjoy watching my 3 and 4 yr. old in each of their stages while snuggling the chubby, white baby on my hip.
