Yep, the Carters are adding a fourth (and FINAL :)) member to our family! I think because I was so shocked that I was pregnant so early into our marriage, I didn't get to experience as much excitement the first time around. This time however, we were planning and ready for it so thrilled would definitely explain what Brad and I are feeling! I must admit that we are also extremely nervous this time as well, because we actually realize how much work it really is. The fact that our little ones will only be 19 months apart contributes to this fear as well! :)
As someone who grew up with no siblings, their closeness in age is also something I view as a huge blessing! I always desperately wanted a brother or sister and cannot wait to watch the relationship of my children grow through the years. I know that I have said this before, but it's just amazing to watch how much better God's plan for our lives is versus our own! I say this because anyone that knows me would admit that being a stay-home-mom of 2 children under two would NEVER have been my plan. It makes me more than a little emotional (yes, it could be the hormones) to think what joy I could have missed if I were in control of my life.
I realize that these few years of starting our family is just a short season in the big picture, but I pray I'm able to remember it is also the most important!

YAY! Congratulations! I was hoping you guys would have another one soon. How far along are you?
Hi Tracy!
We are around 12 weeks and get to find out the first week in March if it's a girl or a boy. I have always wanted a boy, but things would be so easy if it were another girl so either way, we will be thrilled!
I am hoping that I get to see you and your sweet mommy soon!
Heidi...CONGRAT'S!!! We are so excited for you. Look forward to hearing what you are having. Take care and pray all will go well with your pregnancy.
Oh my goodness, how exciting! I pray you have a wonderful pregnancy! Congratulations!
WOO HOO!! What about Tracy's sweet sister?! HA!
You know I am THRILLED for yall, and I'm still thinking blue! Trent needs a Carter buddy... well, that might mean he can't date Lillian, so maybe not!
Now April, it goes without saying that I can't wait to see you again too! :) Sadly, I guess I really don't get to see you much more than I do your mom and sister.
CONGRATS! I am so excited for you guys!!! Brad's post brought tears to my eyes as well... I can't wait to see your little family grow!
