Monday Morning

I just wanted to send out a quick request for prayer for our family. We are scheduled to go into the hospital Monday morning for Sam's arrival by C-section. I'm not nervous at all about the actual procedure, but I am a bit nervous about having three kiddos 3 years and under. Any encouragement or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Just please pray for us over the next week and pray also for our two older ones that will be hanging out with the grandparents while we are in the hospital. Ben and I are actually looking forward to our time in the hospital. For me, it is 3 days of people checking on me, bringing me food, and taking care of me... I mean sounds good. For Ben, he will enjoy the quiet and will be able to do some work as well while we are there. He works mostly from home most days and well, our house is not the quietest during the day!

Thanks for your prayers and thoughts for us and our family! Here are some pics from the day today, we had family fun day and spent some time at the zoo! It was great to spend some time with Lydia and Thomas before we become a Party of Five!!!

You are an AMAZING mom!!! Life will be crazy but you are completely capable to do this if you find your strength in the Lord. I can't wait to meet Sam in 2 days!!! I love you dear friend!!!

We'll definitely be praying for ya'll! Encouragement and advice...Let grace abound especially in the first couple of months. Be gracious to Ben, yourself and your children in all you do. Don't expect things and behaviors to be what they have always been. Even be gracious in your discipline, as L and T are experiencing a great change in their little lives. And don't forget to take time with your precious Sam...they grow too fast, especially the 3rd time around! :) You're going to be awesome as a mother of three! Can't wait to see pictures of your new little guy- so glad I'm able to keep up with your family through the blog!
