you will officially be big sisters in one short week. and lately, i find myself trying to soak up every single moment left as just us.
 |
| our routine of morning bedtime snuggles & cartoons. |
 |
| ellie's bruiser. |
 |
| my 38 wk belly. with just a little toe left :) |
i know you will absolutely LOVE your new little sister. you are already so eager to help! and ask me numerous times a day when she's coming? if you'll get to feed her & change her diaper!
 |
| starbucks breakfast date. ellie's double-strawin' it. |
and she's the luckiest to get TWO older sisters that adore her already. she doesn't even know what's coming, but good gracious, is she in for a treat.
she will probably smile the biggest when she sees you girls a'comin. all babies do! you two are bringers of JOY. simple, sweet joy.
 |
| helping daddy at the carwash. |
my prayer is that you'll be the best of friends. that you'll love each other. and fight for each other. stand in the gap for one another. go on many adventures together. and tell each other secrets that i'll never understand.
you have been my joy, my delight, my everything, for the past 5 years.
5 years that went much too fast.
a true gift.
and i am so grateful to be your mama.
i'm excited to have a new us.
with baby eden in it.
what fun we will have!
God chose your daddy & me to raise 3 sisters!
that still boggles my mind at times,
but i pray that he gives us exactly what we need, when we need it, to raise you girls to love Jesus with your whole heart & know how much he loves you more.
if you know that, you have everything. because in the end, HE is all that matters.
one short week, my first baby girls.
love you so much.
love,
your mama

oh goodness, why am i sobbing?!??!?! oh molly, i can't imagine the nerves and crazies you are feeling right now!?!??!?!?! ahhhh........breathe. what a beautiful transition it will be. but change is hard, it's good, but hard. the Lord's grace will get you through it.......rely on it, pray for it, know it......and i know you do :) i think before change comes, we can get so sad and weepy about what won't ever 'be' anymore.....no more 'family of 4' and for me a year ago, i was mourning how case and i's relationship would change, however......we both know that once the change happens we can't imagine it any other way :) you are transforming as a mother, the girls are transforming as sisters, and daddy too :) just another step in the process of God refining YOU to be the woman He wants you to be :) full of surrender and reliance on him :) love you sweet girl, i'll be watchin your fb/blog to see when she comes!!!! prayers for all of you, ALL FIVE OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful.

crying like a baby!
this post is perfect and wonderful.

why you gotta go and make me cry like that? Seriously. Beautiful post and all these emotions you're dealing with and I'm over here pushing you to make me a stupid blog button. Love you! Love your heart.
I just had to say hi...this last March our family welcomed home our third daughter. She is sweet as pie, Amelia Lyn is her name. She happens to have a big sister named Elliot (age 4) who we often call Ellie, and an even bigger sister named Audra (age 7). Not kidding here. Apparently great minds think alike!!! I just wanted to tell you it is the most AMAZING gift...three little women in one house. My husband is a rock star...the ladies love him around here. I can so clearly remember driving my oldest to kindergarten last spring just after Amelia was born...all three of them in the back seat, so much love just bursting from my human sized heart. Love it up momma, it doesn't get any sweeter. All that sweetness comes with a side of crazy too!! Hang in there and love the ride!
