Ready or Not

REWIND: Fall of 2013

Gabe was officially ready for baby #2. We had moved into our new home, and had gotten somewhat settled. I, on the other hand, was reluctant. As many of you probably know, I want to be stay-at-home mom. And, as you probably all know, I'm stubborn. I wasn't about to let anything happen outside of, "my plan." 

Gabe continued to bring it up, and I kept wanting to delay. After lots of praying and soul-searching, my heart was changed. I prayed that God would bless us when He saw fit. Not sooner, not later, just in His time. That was in January, and on February 4th, 2014, we found out we were pregnant! Interestingly enough, I wasn't all that surprised. I think God was waiting for me to get out of my own way. :) 

What a blessing! We were all thrilled, and could not keep the good news to ourselves. Zachary announced our new addition over Mickey Mouse waffles.

After we found out, we have been pulling out Zachary's old baby items. Of course, he's had to try them all out again. We had to put our foot down when he wanted to climb into his old baby-swing! We need everything in one-piece, after all! 

I wanted to share, and remember this important little tug-a-war about McKeever Baby #2.... only because I didn't want to forget what an answer to prayer this little child is. Every baby is a gift from God, but it's a reminder to me of what He can do when we give up our plans, and give into His.

Hope you were blessed, and thank you for reading!
