Have the third baby..

We weren’t sure if we’d ever have a third baby. You know how it goes, life with two kids already feels like a full-time circus (and you’re the ringmaster, clown, and janitor all at once). We thought maybe we were “done,” maybe we’d finally graduate from nappies and night wakes into the next stage of parenting.

But then…surprise! Along came Mila Layla Amore, the most unexpected and most wonderful plot twist of our family story. I think back at me at 37 years old being pregnant. Not a vibe. But we made it.

Micah & Savannah meeting their baby sister for the first time is absolutely one of the highlights of my life. Seared in my mind.

At 10 months old, she has already shown us that sometimes the things you don’t plan are the ones that make your world bigger, brighter, and infinitely better.

Yes, I had a c-section. Yes, life is louder and messier. And yes, I sometimes wonder how we ever thought we could possibly be finished without her. She has been the sweetest, happiest addition—like the missing piece we didn’t know was missing.

The face of the best surprise ever :)

So if you’ve ever wondered, “Should we have the third baby?” my (slightly sleep deprived) answer is: Absolutely. Have the third baby. You’ll never regret adding a little more love, even if it does mean more coffee.
