The other day, Nate and I went to see a friend's newborn baby. When we got home, Samara asked whether the baby was a boy or girl. So I said its a boy and she said" so auntie is a mum of three boys and you mummy are a mum to 1 girl and 2 boys" and moved on with her life. Oh, that warmed my heart, that Samara knows that I am a mother of three, how amazing is that. Even when Jaden is not here she remembers him and still counts him as a sibling, it really warmed my heart.
At the beginning of the year after church, as we drank tea with a friend,another lady came and suggested that I should get baby number 3, I quickly told her am ok with the 2 God has given me. My friend quickly added that after all there is no pressure, am already a mum of three and that also quietened my heart. I appreciated that she also viewed me as a mum of three.
I guess you wondering where am going with all this but I just wanted to show that the pressure is real and constant reminders that you are ok with what God has given you are necessary. We are blessed to be in a group of friends(7married couples) who are just awesome to do life with. Each couple now has 3 children each, so you can hear where the pressure can come from and where we must be deliberate to say yes we too are parents of three. That is just life. My sister in love over a coffee date last week reminded me that a mum of three eternally even in heaven I will have my three babies.
So we journey on in life, thanking God for life ,thanking God for the gift of family and friends and always asking for grace to rejoice with family and friends as the Lord blesses their families.
