The Coming of Zoe
Finding out that I was pregnant with my third child was shocking. One reason being was because I just lost a baby through miscarriage a few months back. Although my husband and I made it through, it was a trying time for us. After the miscarriage, the expectancy level for getting pregnant so soon was very low. Hence another reason why when we found out, it came as a shock to us. Finally, after the shock wore off, I began to have all sorts of worries creep in.

I can see her being the baby that starts walking at 9 months instead of 12 months like my other two. I feel very blessed to have given birth to such beautiful babies. With that being said, I encourage every person out there thinking of having children to be sure they are ready. It takes a lot more than just being prepared financially. You have to be prepared mentally to deal with things from start to finish, because it can get to be too much. One child can be a handful, just imagine having
