Our Biggest DIY Project Yet: An Exciting New Addition is on the Way!
If you’ve noticed my absence over the past few months, there’s a wonderful reason for it. We’ve been secretly pouring our hearts and souls into what is undoubtedly our most significant DIY project to date. After much anticipation and careful planning, we are absolutely thrilled to announce that we are expecting our second baby next year! Our little bundle of joy is set to arrive in February, and we truly couldn’t be more excited about expanding our family. I must confess, this announcement post has been a work in progress for quite some time; I started drafting it last month but, blame it on ‘pregnancy brain,’ I never quite managed to finish it until now!
For a long while, my husband and I were convinced we were “one and done” parents. We cherished our son, Ryder, and felt our family unit was complete. However, something shifted last year. After our annual family photos, we looked at the images and, though filled with love, a subtle feeling of incompleteness lingered. It was a feeling that prompted deep reflection and many heartfelt conversations. I prayed extensively about what our next step should be, seeking guidance and clarity. Ultimately, I realized that my heart wasn’t fully settled, and I felt a strong pull to try and see if God would bless us with another miracle. That profound shift in perspective led us on this incredible journey, and we are overflowing with gratitude for this new chapter.
