Introducing the littlest one, C. We have spent ten long months waiting, dreaming and praying for him and he finally arrived in mid-May! I realize that most mothers are quick to announce the arrival of their little ones. I am no different, but somehow the time that has lagged between the arrival of baby and publishing this post has felt a little bit like a blink of the eye. With number three there is no idle time. No staying at home while you adjust to the new life you are supporting. No hesitation to keep going strong with daily routines and outings. Caring for three has meant things get put on the back burner. If you know me at all, you know that it won't ever be my children or my husband, but something has to. I've been slower to answer emails, slower to fold the baskets of laundry, slower to sit down and take a break.
But as I look at my precious little one I am of course reminded of new beginnings and fresh starts. Instead of dreaming about what he will look like and how my other boys will adjust to life interrupted, I am thinking about the possibilities that lie ahead for C. What will he dream of. What things will inspire him? What will his passions be? I am thrilled to be a part of that journey with him, guiding as best as I can, nurturing and nudging along the way.
The world is your oyster, C. The world is your oyster!
