Our Family Is Growing

6 Nov 2019 Family, Kids, Motherhood

I can’t believe I’m sitting down writing these words…

We are so grateful to be bringing another life into our family. In Grace’s words, “A new baby is going to do the Joy Family with us!!”.

We told the kids this week, and they couldn’t believe it! We wanted to keep it a surprise until we couldn’t hide it any longer, and we thought telling them on the day of our first trimester ultrasound would be good so they could actually see that there is a baby in there. Here is a quick video I filmed the night before we told them, I was a tad overcome with emotion.

I break down and cry like this all the time. I’m filled with such overwhelming gratitude that I’m carrying our child, a sibling for Brian and Grace, our blessing… God gave us another child. The feeling of being pregnant this time is unlike the others. While of course equally as special, I feel a little older and more in tune with what’s important in life. I’ve lived through and constantly feel the miracle of being a mother, and see how beautiful it is to raise a family. It’s all that matters to me, and to be able to give our family a baby who will be loved by all of us so deeply just brings me to tears.

We woke the kids up before school and let them know we had to talk to them about something…

We picked them up from school and brought them to the ultrasound where we confirmed that they are in fact, BIGGEST brother and BIG sister!! The moments in this room I will never, ever forget. The awe on their faces, the sounds of their voices when they heard the heartbeat, the hugs, it was beautiful.

We found out I was pregnant in August, I’m 14 weeks, and will share more about how we got to #3 soon! Thank you for your love, and for being here with me 💕xo, Liz

this morning I was thinking about the many changes this morning I was thinking about the many changes and leaps I’ve made in my professional career. I’ve taken jobs, quit jobs, started businesses, closed businesses. Each decision to make that change takes time, thought, feeling. Some moves immediately feel right, others you wonder if it the right thing to do. people react, but all that matters is what’s in your heart and listening to that inner voice. This morning as I was getting ready to leave my house and work out of our new studio I thought about all my leaps. Today is one of those. Here’s to the next chapter in our new studio.

✨ Life is beautiful, chasing your dreams is a magical experience that can happen over and over again. It’s all in the journey my friends ✨
