There really is nothing that someone who has gone before you can say to prepare you for life as a family of four. It seems as though everything has changed and we had only just gotten used to it the way it was. My daugther, my second child, was born this past Monday and though keeping my sanity has been a major focus I can honestly say that it has been pure joy. I wondered from the day we found out we were pregnant if I would be able to love another child the way I love Caleb. Would I be able to divide my time without leaving one out or feeling neglected? Would I favor one over the other? The truth is that 5 days in, none of these fears have materialized. It's really cool how our hearts can expand and our capacity for love increases. This blog has been my story of Gospel transformation and how I am beginning to see the Gospel for what it is. One of the things that I have come to understand is that the Gospel is love. The Gospel says that God so loved the world... As my heart increases it's capacity to love one more child it's pretty amazing to think about our heavenly Father and his capacity to love his children.
