Last Piece of Our Family Puzzle
For the longest time, Mr. J and I felt that we were only going to have 2 children. Miss E was well over 3 years old and there was no pregnancy in sight. And the one that I did have, didn't last for more than 8 weeks. And then Mr. H blessed our lives. We had a boy! 3 months after his arrival, a tumor was found inside my brain. I underwent 2 surgeries to take out the mango-sized tumor. Then we were convinced that we were finished having children. We had 2 girls and a boy, we were set for experiences with both genders. However, Heavenly Father had other plans for us. On July 7th Little Miss Ruby Louise was welcomed into our family at 2:34am bouncing in at 8 lbs 4 oz and measuring 20.5 inches in length! What a blessing it has been over the last 10 days to have her in our lives. She is the final piece to our family puzzle. She is loved by all, sleeps really well and lets her feelings be known about when she is hungry. She is such a special, sweet, calm presence in our home. I am still in awe that Mr. J and I have been blessed with 4 little spirits to watch over on this Earth. Going from 2 children to 4 in less than 2 years is unreal. I feel nervous about being entrusted with the duty of raising them, but I know I will do my best and pray for the mental strength to handle them.
