One of many things to be thankful for

For those of you that do not know, I was not supposed to have anymore children because of my health. After Matthew and Ella, I always knew that there was a child missing from our family. I would tell Steven all the time that we needed to have another baby. I knew there was another child waiting to come into our family.

I had not been on birth control for years and I do not get pregnant easily. I had go to the OB in Nov. for an annual check-up and ask for fertility med. I told Steven. He was not excited about the idea (he was worried about me) to say the least. I was very hurt but didn't want to do something without my husbands approval or blessing. I thought about it for a day or so and then I got down on my knees while he was at work and prayed to Heavenly Father about what to do? I told him that I wanted a baby and I felt that one was waiting for us. I said that I would not take the medication and if its meant to be I will get pregnant. I left my prayer in the Lord's hands and did not tell my husband about it. I filed the Rx away and did not think about it for 2 months when I found out that I was expecting our third baby! I then told Steven about my prayer and he asked me why I didn't tell him before. I told him that I knew he didn't want me to have anymore so I did it with out him. I was so scared to be pregnant and I was not sure what he would think. He came to me and told me that it was going to be OK. This was the baby that I had been talking about for years and was waiting to come to our family.

I walk around my house tonight checking on my kids and think about how blessed I am to have 3 healthy, active, and loving kids in my life. I count my blessings all the time and should count them even more.
