 You already sound exhausted!!! But hang in there, it's all worth it in the end. I only have one daughter and she's 18. While my baking business is finally kicking off. Made my first wedding cake today!! I'm taking three college classes this semester, work full time, wife, mom and oh yeah, my daughter graduates this semester from high school. So while I don't have other kids, except for the ones that hang out at my house with my daughter and also call me mom, I can somewhat relate!! Like I said, hang in there!!!  |

Creativeone4 - that made me smile! I think it's really going to be okay. I'm just kind of in shock. No one ever told me how babies were made! (just kidding...) |

Molly, I think of that too. I definitely know I'm blessed. I'm just really having mixed emotions about all of it. In the end, it will be great! The next 9 months of being uncomfortable is really the part I'm dreading the most honestly! |

Wow, I am jealous! With a 21 year old daughter whom lives on her own and is a junior in college and an 18 year old son graduating from high school this May, my house is kinda empty. I see all the little ones running in the mall and think, hmmm another one would have been nice. So count your blessings, ask for help, but most of all savor every moment. Even the tough ones!
Best wishes! |

*sending tons of positive energy!!!*
I only have one child (so far) and I know the heartache of leaving him to 'cake' (it's a verb for me now) for a few hours, but leaving the actual house to do so... first of all congrats on the bakery (and being ABLE to leave the house!) secondly, congrats on the to-be-new-addition, you'll be torn for awhile about everything. Hello, it's so wonderful that we women seem to get all that 'back-and'forth, weighing this-and-that' emotions -- HAH! Everything will work out for you, I'm certain of that. Fate always has a plan, and while things may seem sketchy right now, it will be fine. Rely on the support system you have to help you through any doubts, and be certain that you are a fien business-woman, and will help you family in the long run by continuing to live your dream! Show your babies that a happy family can be attained with working parents that love what they do. Good for you! |

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt
Did you catch that? That's positive energy and thoughts coming your way!!! You are right if you believe this has happened for a reason...this little person will be a blessing for your entire family for sure. Hang in there and pray for strength and guidance to follow your dreams and/or do what's best for your family (one might be different---or they may both be the same!) Take care and keep us posted on what happens! |

I know 9 months does seem long but the rest of your life is what to look forward to and after reading your story it seems as though you should have a lot to be excited about and you will always have 3 on your side I come from a family of 3 myself and two brothers and let me tell you we had our ups and downs but no one better mess with us and as for my parents now that they are older I don't think my parents would have had it any other way I am the oldest the youngest was 10 yrs young then myself and with your babies being so close the can grow up together which is even better they'll always have each other and they are very lucky because their mom can make whatever kind of birthday cake they want
Your are Blessed and So Are They

You will be OK - just exhausted! I can relate somewhat to your situation. My son was 9 yrs old when I remarried at 37 yrs old. My new husband had never been married and didn't have any children so we thought we'd have at least 1 child. He was born 10 days before my 40th b-day. Because of the 12 yrs between the 2 ages of the kids, we didn't want each one to grow up an "only" child so we were considering having one more. When the baby was around 1, we started considering another baby. Some days, I wanted one more, other days I couldn't even consider it. My "bad" days were when the baby acted more in his terrible twos than other days. I was exhausted (I was 41 yrs old) and just when I had decided that my two "only" children would be just fine, we found out I was pregnant. Needless to say, my third son is my "buggy boo", the third light of my life. Lucky for me, his temperament is much mellower than that of his older brother.  I'm still exhausted but watching the two younger boys interact and "converse" is the highlight of my day. Now if I can only get them to stop fighting over the same empty box of cereal....
Hang in there and if you have people you can ask for help, enlist them now! Take care of yourself and your family and everything else will work out.

Congrats on the new baby!
My kids are 14, 15, and 16 years old now. When they were babies and toddlers, it was an exhausting amount of work, but I was a stay at home mom and that was my job. Now that they're older, I am sad there aren't more little ones around!
You have been greatly blessed. Put your children first and everything will fall into place as it should.
You can do it!!!
Hugs,
Sherri |
