Well we were a little bit more nontraditional this time around and didn't tell anyone until about 4 months along. Lots of people just have too many opinions these days about large families. This always seems so comical to me because its not like we are poor, its not like we neglect our children. We choose to raise them in a christian home. Yet everyone has an OPINION and feel the need to tell you what that is. God says "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”so yes unfortunately we will always have people this way to bring us down. But its not their body, its not their life. Its my husbands and my choice to follow what God wants for us. Its our blessing. We will look to him when any family or friends tells us any different.
All babies are created with unique
purpose.
And we know that all things work
together for good to those who love God,
to those who are called according to purpose
purpose.
And we know that all things work
together for good to those who love God,
to those who are called according to purpose
Romans 8:28
Congratulations to you and your family! How exciting that God is blessing you and your family with another precious child to love & train up in the ways of The Lord.
ReplyDeleteI understand your waiting to tell others as to avoid negativity when it is a time to be joyful. We have gone through that before (and possibly will again). We have 4 boys and 1 girl, everyone assumes that now that we have a daughter we are going to take extreme measures to ensure our family is complete. It's funny to see the look on people's faces whe we tell them we would like more if The Lord allows ;)
God bless you & your beautiful growing family!
