Ethan is growing up , no longer a baby but a toddler now. I have been a little sad lately that he is not going to be my little baby anymore. I have felt this way with each new addition we have made to the family. As most of you know, we had 3 hard years before we were blessed with Ethan. Three pregnancy losses, with some fertility issues we had no idea we had and several procedures later at the most unexpected time God showed us that he is in control, and blessed us with a pregnancy. I remember going to the dr and having my counts be extremely low and being told to be prepared, that i may very well miscarry. Then there was the visit to the dr to see if there was a heartbeat, i was terrified, but what an awesome sound to hear that heart beating away!! Trey and Avery prayed so faithfully for so long for a baby every single night! It was a good lesson for all of us to learn as we had to explain to them that God doesn't always answer our prayers just the way we want him to. I wouldn't trade those several years because it changed my perspective on things greatly and also taught me a whole lot! Trey, Avery and i have a little secret... they will always be my babies even as they are getting bigger. Shhh Ethan it will be our little secret, you will always be my little baby too!

So sweet and so inspiring to look back and remember what you went through to get little Ethan. I remember the pain and frustration you went through of not understanding why God was allowing things to happen as they were. Yes, he too, much like Trey and Avery, is growing up way too quickly! That was a neat idea to "look back" as you prepare for the arrival for your newest little sweetie. You are such a great Mom!
It's hard to understand why things happen but God has his reasons even if we don't understand. It was hard to understand why it took so long for us to get pregnant again but the timing seems to be good now!! :)
