    I haven't been on this site for a long time!

    Well, it's been a long time since I have been on this site.  I had to make myself stay away before I had the baby.  I really needed to take some time and get myself excited about the baby.  Although this site has been extremely helpful in coping with my g/d, I had to make myself get over it as best as I could.

    Well, we had our beautiful baby on June 14th (4 weeks early) and he is doing well.  He had some breathing problems at first but only ended up being in the hospital for 6 days.  As I sat by his little bed in the NICU, I was reminded at how selfish I can be and what that I should always be thankful that God has trusted ME to raise these beautiful boys.  Yes, I still want a little girl, and I always will.  I don't think it's wrong to want certain things but it's when I throw a fit because I don't get what I want that is the problem Happy.  I am thankful that I was able to bond with Alexander right away and I am completely in love with him.  I still feel a little sad when I see a sweet baby girl, or when I am shopping and the girl's dept. is 3 times bigger than the boys (I hate that!!).  But, I am honored that God has given me these boys to raise into great men.  My daily prayer is that if my desires are different than God's, that He changes my desires to match his!

    My husband and I are praying about baby #4!!   It's def. not out of the question... but of course, it's not in our hands!   Who knows, I may be back in a year or so because boy #4 is on his way Happy Wink

    Congrats!  I was in your shoes a little over a year ago and my 3rd daughter stole my heart and now we are going for #4.  You sound like an amazing mom.  If that is your boys in the pic, they are gorgeous.

    I LOVED your post, and it echoed many of my own thoughts. CONGRATS on the new baby! I had mine right after you, on the 24th of June! I love the picture you posted. I have a similar one with my first 3 boys, the baby in the middle and the other boys both kissing him from either side. It's black and white, and definately a family classic!

    Your attitude is fantastic......God has really blessed us with these kiddos, has'nt he???

    Having babies is addicting, is'nt it? hee, hee........Dunno where we stand with that. My Dh would have a heart attack if I asked him for one right now.......... I'm just in a peaceful place of enjoying my blessings right now.

    Enjoy your family.Happy
