I have had an epidural.
I have had natural childbirth.
I have had precipitous childbirth.
I have had an emergency c-section.
I have had a miscarriage.
One thing I have never done? Given birth to a boy. Until now.
We are so beyond excited to welcome a little man to our family. Who might have to sometimes wear pink. Or play with babies. But Mark is really manly so I'm sure he will be fine.
Praising God for a 4th healthy baby. We are so thankful!!!
Do yourself a favor and go on ahead and listen to the song "I get to be the One" by JJ Heller. I tried 6 ways from Sunday to get it on here, but can't. So go find it. It sums up how I feel, and is just lovely. If you have a child joining your family any time soon in any fashion-you will especially enjoy. :)
I GET TO BE THE ONE
Words and Music by Dave and JJ Heller
Well hello, little babyYour eyes have never seen the sun
You should know, little baby
That I am the lucky one
I get to be the one to hold your hand
I get to be the one
Through birthdays and broken bones
I’ll be there to watch you grow
I get to be the one
Don’t feel alone now, little baby
Do you hear me singing you a song?
I can’t wait to show you, little baby
How to crawl, how to walk, and how to run
Chorus
How does someone so small hold my heart so tightly?
I don’t even know you
I love you completely

Couldn't be happier for you honey. LOVE that song. So excited for Cruz to have a buddy. And for you to have a BOY!!!!!!!!! The little ladies will take good care of him.
wow! you have covered the gauntlet on birthing. i had no idea you had a miscarriage too. having a boy is very different but awesome. they are all great! but maddox was very ok with everything of makenna's until 2. and then it is now all about trucks -- particularly fire trucks.
oh my goodness!!!!! I just read this and got chills!!! So so excited for you guys.
