I have a wonderful, beautiful, little man for a son but we are now noticing a problem...sharing! He is fine with sharing his toys, his food, but when it comes to his momma you can forget it! Yes it makes me feel loved and all but when your son gets upset because a dog sat on his moms lap, what is he going to do when im holding a new born? Just one of my fears i guess. I know he is going to be the best big brother, that i don't doubt at all,I just know he is going to have a hard time transitioning, because lets be frank, it has been Mikee's world for the past few years and we are all just living in it!!
So far the pregnancy is going okay. im getting sicker now and im having more growing pains then i did with mikee, AND im constantly tired...but im so happy at the same time! Knowing that i get to hold another new born in my arms, and knowing that God blessed my family with another child of his puts a huge smile across my face! We have been getting mixed reviews by people who we told...some has been good but most has been...well...kinda angry at us. They don't understand why we would want to have another child because of mikee's special needs. That its selfish. One person even said that we were too poor to have two children. Yes i get angry at these responses but i also let them know our side....My son IS NORMAL...he might not be able to walk on his own, or talk that well...but he smiles, he laughs, he gets around his own way, he communicates by signing...and most importantly, He loves! God made him they way he is, and that is pretty perfect in my eyes. We have done testing beyond testing with Genetics and all of them have come back negative. No, we arnt rich by any means, but we have a roof over our head,food on the table, We both have jobs, and a God that provides. Yes i am scared that the same thing may happen again, but im also at peace knowing that we are going to be more then fine! Mikee is going to be great,and this new baby is going to have everything he or she needs and more love then he or she knows what to do with. So basically once i tell them that, they kinda don't want to talk to me anymore lol but oh well Cant win everyone over!

we know we're excited for you!! :)
besides, who's business is it anyway...when they say you're too poor, then ask if they want to donate to the cause {i mean, if they care that much}. ;) haha
love you!!
Sons are a heritage from the LORD,
children a reward from him.

ha! i like beths idea:) it really isn't anyones business, i agree. having a baby is such an exciting thing, i am excited for you! pooh-pooh on anyone who tries to take that away from you.
i know what you mean about mikee not wanting to share you. preston gets made when the cat sits on my lap. even if he's perfectly content playing with a toy on the other side of the room, he will run over and say, "no, my lap" and push the cat off. poor kitty.
1. It's nobody's business but yours & God's. These people who say that you are too poor obviously don't know the Truth. Even if we give in to the government's desire to control our family planning & take free birth control, our God is still in charge! He is bigger than that! And if you wait to have kids until you can afford them, then you'll never have kids. That was someone's advice to me a long time ago. And I'm pretty sure you & I will agree that there are some selfish people having kids out there. The ones who are only in it for the moment's desire & don't think about the possibility of a child having to deal with the repercussions. Ok this is way too long now. Sorry! IT's your blog, not mine! =)
