God is good and faithful!

 

There are nine heartbeats in this photo.

 

It still feels very surreal to Abby and I, but it’s true (confirmed by hearing the heart beat with the midwife)! By God’s grace, we will be having another precious bundle to hold by the end of the year (or shortly thereafter)! 🙂

Grateful to God as the first trimester was very smooth with little sickness – the only thing I suffered from was exhaustion (which is quite normal for me anyways – we all fall into bed tired!).  I never dreamed we would have this many children  in our family – but it is so wonderful, so much fun and such an incredible blessing!

God is good and we are excited to grow our family again!

P.S. And no, we are not “trying” for a boy …. we will be happy with a girl or boy!

Samantha Erin – Congrats Gillian! I am so enamored with your family and lifestyle. You are a huge inspiration to me and I frequent your blog so often to continue to follow along. To think – I’ve been following along since the time when you only had three littles and was following strictly b/c of the photography connection! Thank you for sharing your family and your farm life. I LOVE your recipes and love that you have discovered EO’s too. You are an incredible mom and the blogger I hold in the highest regard (b/c I have no idea how you find time to blog but am so thankful you do!) Much love! xoxo

Maike – Oh what a sweet surprise. Didn’t thought you would add another one, but this will be so exciting and the girls seem like they enjoy every addition to the family too. And oh my are the girls grown. Not too long ago, there were 2 tiny toddlers and the chubby baby. Now it’s one baby toddler and two other girls. ^_^

Patty Patterson – Congratulations! I was once told that seven was God’s favorite number and would have loved to have had seven children myself. We were blessed with four – and I am grateful for each of them. And even more grateful for the grandchildren they are blessing me with! 🙂 Children are one of God’s greatest gifts!
