The past year, I have cried tears of hopelessness, of failure and of anger. Month after month, I felt physically, emotionally and spiritually exhausted. I rallied against God and cursed His plan for us. I thought to myself we try to be GOOD people and great parents, why cant we have another baby? I rejoiced when my friends conceived, but inside I broke a little more with every announcement. I KNEW our child was up there, somewhere... right? Through the injections, the pills, the blood tests, the charting and temping, I lost a little more hope every day. I was on the last round of a certain fertility medication I could take in my life time and it was time to just let go. Finally, I sold and donated a bunch of Graces clothes, got rid of things that were cluttering our home and also mentally clogging me up. I started accepting Gods plan and was finally at peace with being a family of 3 forever. Besides, having a baby in December, around Christmas, being pregnant on a 10 hour car ride to Nashville, not being able to play co-ed - pregnancy would get in the way of all that. And Id just bought 3 new pairs of amazing jeans that fit me like a glove. Nope, not a good time for a baby. And the fact we even got pregnant with Grace was a miracle. Besides, she is pretty awesome, why screw up a good thing? Man plans, God laughs. The day I gave away the last of my holdout baby items, I put Grace down for a nap and took the requisite monthly pregnancy test. When 2 little lines appeared, I fell to my knees, praying and thanking God for His crazy, wild, inconvenient plan. I was shaking so hard and could barely walk to the couch to sit down. A baby? It worked? Were actually having a baby? We are having a baby. WE ARE HAVING A BABY!!!!!! Baby Mauldin #2 will join our family sometime around Christmas this year. We are beyond excited to become a family of 4 and I cannot wait for Grace to have a little brother or sister. For this child, I have prayed. Never give up, keep going and join us as we thank God for our miracle children. We’ll find out if it’s a boy or girl sometime in August. :) Grace just sings the Baby Bumble Bee song, so Im convinced she thinks its got wings. :)
