Good Intentions

Holy 8 months since I have blogged last. At least once a day I think about sitting down and writing but my good intentions always seem to fall short. So what was it that finally made me sit my happy but down in front of my computer to write you may ask? Yesterday Josh and I went and saw Catching Fire, the second movie in the Hunger Games trilogy.  As we sat waiting for the movie to start, I began thinking about how much our lives have changed since we saw the first Hunger Games together. That was March of 2012. We had planned a date night of dinner, the movie, and spending the night in Dallas. That was also the night I told Josh we were pregnant with our second baby. Ecstatic, we went on to celebrate with the beloved Jennifer Lawrence.  As the hand full of followers I have know, we lost the baby. That was the second baby that the Lord decided was better off staying with Him.

              

Well, a year and a half later, after months and months….and months of tears, tests, and lots of prayers we became pregnant with our miracle baby. Then 9 long months of holding my breath later, we welcomed into the world Tabor Dean Wilson, our rainbow baby weighing in at 9lbs 14oz. He is absolutely perfect.

We are adjusting to being a family of 4 with ease. Lilly was born to be a big sister and they absolutely adore each other. I had the hardest time wrapping my mind around how I was going to love another child as much as I love Lilly. It blows my mind how much my heart can love. I am without a doubt, 100% head over heels in love with our miracle baby. The best part is…I am getting to stay home with my sweet babies. I missed SO much with Lilly. Between working and going to school, I didn’t get to see all of the ways she changed. I did what I had to do to make a life for us…now…we are getting to live it. Tabor changes so much every single day and I’m not missing a second of it. Blessed is really the understatement of the year. Lilly is loving the time we have together as well. I think she has already forgotten what it was like for me to be working all the time…with is just fine with me. 

I’m hoping that getting to stay home is going to allow me to keep up with my blog a little better…but reality is reality and we will just have to see. Until next time…
