And then there were 5!

We are really excited that this family of 4, will soon be a family of 5! 

We are expecting a healthy baby girl at the beginning of July!

It has been a long road getting to this point, but we couldn't be more happy about the addition of another girl to this family. It makes my heart really happy to think that this new baby is being sent fresh from Heaven, right where her big sister, Ruby is. 

Matt is thrilled that it is a girl, he loves his daughters to bits. Kate said she wanted a boy, but when we found out it was a girl, was excited thinking about dressing her up, and teaching her how to walk. Me? I knew we would be send exactly what our family needed, and a third daughter sounds perfect.

There are so many emotions involved, but the thought of a new precious baby, is really pretty joyful. 
Kate keeps asking if it is Summertime yet... I wish Kate! It can't come soon enough!

Krissy said...

Congrats!!! I am so excited for you. After we lost our 2nd daughter, Jayci I was scared to have our 3rd but your right Heavenly Father knows exactly what you need. A 3rd baby girl will be perfect for you. Our Laney was perfect for us. Dads that have 3 daughters right in a row are pretty special. Layne would prefer to have all princesses... CONGRATS!!! thinking of you!

Congratulations! After we lost our little girl, we had a baby boy 17 months later & another baby boy 2 years after that.. I like to think that Lily helped God pick them out. I think Ruby got to help pick out her precious baby sister too! :) Joy does come again.. God is good.

Ani,

So so sorry for the loss of your sweet RUBY. It looks like you are doing amazing things in her name and channeling the negative into positive, something I hope to do someday.
You are an inspiration.
(((Love and hugs))) from one grieving mother to another.

Dear Ani,

I found your blog only a few days ago and I have to tell you about the huge impact ruby's story already had on me!
(Sorry for my english, I'm from Germany...)

Of course I love love love my three kids (three boys, aged almost 6 years, 4 yeasrs and 9 months), but sometimes I just didn't pay enough attention to them, had to clean the house first or do the laundry. Now thinking of Ruby many times a day I rather play with the kids than do anything else.
And in so many other ways ruby's story already changed my life or more: our family life. I'm much more gentle with my kids because I'm SO aware now again, that children is the best thing that can happen to someone. Before I argue with them or start complaining about something I try to figure out, if it's really necessary or worth it.
And I'm awake for half of the night with the youngest one, I found myself thinking of you and Ruby and I'm happy for the rings under my eyes then ;-)
Thank you so much for sharing Ruby's story! She really seemed to be a very very special baby!! And surely she changed the lifes of so so so many people!!

All the best for you and your family and congratulations to the new member of the family of course!!! Big news!!!
Katharina from Germany
