Five years ago today, my first nephew, Noah, was born. He changed our family's life in so many wonderful ways. There is nothing like seeing the world through the eyes of a child. And nothing like watching your family love on a new, precious addition.
Then three years later, Noah welcomed a little brother, Miller. Carrie was pregnant with Miller while I was pregnant with Aubrey Kate. He holds a special little place in my heart because of that. Such a joy seeing him grow.
And tonight, one year ago, at Chris' urging, I took a pregnancy test. That, unbelievably, showed me two very distinct lines. I knew at that moment we were having a boy. Knew it deep down in my heart. Another boy in the family.
(Inner monologue: Oh, heavens, Aubrey Kate is gonna be so spoiled.)
Three boys. Three very different personalities. Three very different faces. Three amazing lives God saw fit to send to our family.
We are beyond blessed.
