Before Lucy, any time I thought of having a second baby, my biggest fear was how could my heart possibly feel the same about another child. I looked at John Mark and my heart felt like it would burst from the love I felt for him. I couldn't imagine that I would ever look at another baby the same way.
And then I took the test that changed it all. Suddenly, another baby was in the picture, and I felt my heart growing. Turns out there was, in fact, room in my heart to love a second person with that same intense, heart bursting love.
For a long time, I worried about John Mark and how his heart would handle having a baby sister. Watching him love her has opened up this whole new level in my heart. He loves his baby sister so much... so, so, so much. It's one of my favorite things to watch him love her.
And now that miss Lucy has waltzed in and stolen our hearts completely, I can't imagine life without her. Our family never felt incomplete without her, but it's a whole new kind of completeness now that she's here. Having two kids is one of my life's greatest blessing.
