5 Min Friday- One Month

-
One month.
 Just one.
So much can change is such a short time. We went from being a family of 5 to a family of 6. Sweet girl entered our world a month ago.

10 months ago when that little stick had a positive sign, I cried. I cried and then called my husband and then cried some more. I didn't believe it. How could I handle ANOTHER baby (or TWO)? I had a 2 and a half year old and twin 16 month olds. Hubby brought home more pregnancy tests- 5 of them, which all said the same thing- our life was changing again!
I cried.
How would I go grocery shopping if it was twins again? Would I have to have another c-section? Would this baby (or two) be healthy?
I cried and call my friend- the one I KNEW would give me support and say "Yay!! What a blessing! You will be just fine." And after she said all that, I cried again, not because I was scared (ok maybe a little) but because I knew she was right- what a blessing! And a month ago that sweet blessing came into our lives- and I cried some more!

    Praises to the Giver of good and perfect gifts! What a blessing your little girl must be to such an already full family. I'm sure she is bringing some changes- both bitter and sweet, but fruitful either way. May God strengthen you, and remind you daily that He is at work in your life and the little ones. Stopped by from LisaJo's :)

I have been toying with the idea of starting a blog for a while. It took me a long time because I often wondered why many 'ordinary' people have blogs. I wasn't sure I had anything worth reading to say. Whelp, here I am, hoping I have something worth reading to say! I hope to encourage at least one person (even if that person is me). I will consider my blog a success. I wanted to lay out why I named the blog 'Homemaking with Intention'. I originally was looking at 'mothering with intention', but I felt that it left out one very important person- my husband ! My primary, day in day out 'job' is a mom, but I am so much more then that. I am a wife to my husband and I run our home. So, hence 'Homemaking with intention!' When I think about the word 'homemaker' it seems so old fashioned. But, lets look at the definition. One online source states: Homemaker, noun 1. a person who manages the household of his or her own family, especiall

5 Min Friday- Listen

-
 Write for 5 minutes and link up here at Lisa-Jo Baker. Todays word- Listen. GO I think, I want 5 minutes of peace. I want 5 minutes to myself! 5 minutes without a 3 year old whining about something, without a 2 year old calling for help, 'mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy...', without a infant crying to be picked up. Then I stop and listen. Really listen . I hear a 3 year old who so desperately wants to be independent but doesn't know how to break away yet. I get to be her everything for only a few more years . I hear two very special (almost) two year olds who love me and want me to be involved in everything they are doing and learning. I get to be the one to help them learn , I get to be the one that cheers them on and encourages them. I hear a brand new sweet blessing calling for me. I am the only one she wants, I am the only one that can feed her and help her grow. I am the one who can comfort her in a split second.  When I really listen to my life- 5 min
