Tonight, I can't help but be overwhelmed by the love I feel for my husband and my two boys. As I sit here preparing for bed, I just keep thinking about that precious little boy who is sleeping in his bed and how he blew me kiss after kiss as I left his room for bedtime tonight. Regardless of how difficult a day has been or how many temper tantrums we've faced, I just have an overwhelming joy in my heart as I think about what a blessing that boy is.
Children are a blessing from the Lord. There is no doubt about it! I cannot wait to meet Oliver and discover what a precious gift he is, too.
I am so thankful for these boys and for the husband who continually loves and encourages me-- even when I am at my tiredest (and crankiest!) ever.
Just a brief update on the happenings in the Kittrell house:
We're packing and moving! We're closing on our house this coming Thursday (the 26th). Praise God for selling it within 2 months of being listed! It is so apparent that God is providing for us and taking care of us every step of the way! We're moving to a house out in the country that will allow us to stay close enough for Jason to continue his role as Interim Pastor at New Hope! We'll stay there faithfully (and happily) until God shows us where to head full-time!
Oliver's scheduled arrival is 7:30 a.m. on May 11th! He is growing well and doing perfectly as far as we know. The pregnancy is continually harder, but I know that God will carry me faithfully until the time for Oliver to come, whenever that might be. I won't object if it's a little earlier than the 11th. ;)
Cale is thrilled about becoming a big brother. He rubbed my belly today and told me that he misses "Ollie." I asked him how he could miss him when he hasn't met him yet, but I think it's just his way of saying he's ready to meet him! I told him that Oliver would come to meet us in a few weeks, and he giggled his sweet giddy laugh that lets us know he's really excited about something! He helped me sort through Oliver's clothes yesterday and remarked, "Ohh, cute!" about an outfit covered in firetrucks and race cars. Haha. The things he comes up with these days simply make me laugh!
So, that's just a brief update on where we are and what's to come! We don't know what tomorrow holds, but we continue to trust!
