fortune cookie



we went out for chinese food and this was my fortune.....
im coming around to this little sweet pea growing inside me.
we are all excited but im just so nervous! being a mom and
filling the needs of 4 children scares me....real bad! matt is so
happy about having a big family and so am i but, there is that
responsibility a mother has and that takes a lot of patients!
i pray often about it!

I can imagine, but I am sure you will do just fun. you have done great with the three you have now! you are so blessed to have such a cute family. BTW, we had a good time with you in Tahoe, you guys got to bed ALOT earlier than us, lucky you! hope to see you soon.

I bet it's a lot to think about! I had lunch with playgroup moms today and we were talking about being overwhelmed and stressed...and how often it's because we place unrealistic expectations on ourselves. The bottom line is we have happy, healthy kids that love us, whether or not we're "perfect".
You and Matt are great parents! And you'll get even greater with your next little one!

Oh Amy! You are stronger than you give yourself credit for. I am certain that if anyone can do it you can!
I really like what Erin said, sounds good to me!

I agree with Heather, if anyone can do it, it is you! You are such a great mom now, one more will just add to the excitement!!

It's amazing how we get through those days as young mommies. I remember having three under four when I brought Lindsey home from the hospital. It WAS a bit overwhelming at first, but we settled into a routine, just like you've established in your home with three. Noah will have a playmate and best friend. This new little one growing in you IS a miracle and God has a plan and purpose...He never makes mistakes.

I agree with Nanna! There is always a plan whether or not it makes sense to us now. :) I cant wait for your little bundle!
