When I married Andrew, my heart was full of love for him. He was literally the man of my dreams and I was so grateful to God for blessing me with a man like Drew. He compliments me in every way and I am confident in his love for me and his love for God.
Although we were very excited to welcome Brode into this world, I didn't quite understand how my heart would grow. I didn't understand how I could possibly love someone else as much as my Drew. But then he arrived... and I loved him... I love him so much, in so many similar and different ways. My heart did grow. And for that I am also grateful.
Now, as we are about to welcome baby #2 into this world, I don't understand how I can love him or her as much as my husband and firstborn. Everyone keeps telling me to wait... my heart will grow. I don't doubt that I won't love this next baby. I just don't know how a heart can continuously grow with so much love. But I am anxious and excited and ready to save a special place in my heart for our new little addition. But before this precious babe enters our world, I want to let my first love and my firstborn know how much they mean to me. I love you both with all of my heart and I am so thankful God brought you both into my life. God has truly rewarded me with two - about to be three - wonderful gifts. Thank you for loving me in return. Let's enjoy this next chapter of our lives together, as a growing family with growing hearts. I love you both.

I tell you as I carried the girls I had the same fear, they would come into the world and I wouldn't or couldn't love them the same or that I might love one more than the other...then they came and it's true, your heart grows...you will be amazed...again. :)
Enjoy these last few days with Andy and Brode...it will never again be "just the 3 of you". But I promise you, little sister, when that new life comes into this world...you will not be able to picture your life w/o him/her!!!
I love you!
So sweet Sarah, I remember that feeling... just wait 'til you see them all together... you'll never feel the same again :) Blessing on you all this week, my prayers are with you - cannot wait to hear the news :)
