Well as most of you know we are expecting a new little Zarate! Yes that's right we are going to have another one. No I am not ready for another one. No this was not planned! But ready or not here we GO! The only thing that is making me feel at all OK about having 4 kids under 6 is that I know that Heavenly Father is sending me this baby now for a reason, and I Pray that he will give me the strength and courage that I need! Here is my attempt to make this a positive experience.
- It has completely humbled me to the core. I know that I am going to have to rely on a greater power.
- Heavenly Father has a plan for each of us. He shows his hand in our lives all the time. He knows us and our family personally and provides us opportunities to grow.
- It has made me appreciate and value the very small amount of time that I have individually with each of my children. (I know it will get even smaller soon! )
- I will be done having children soon! ( I think this may be our last!) (this means the mountains of things I have been saving for future kids will be gone soon!)
It's A GIRL!!!!
Well everything is going well and she is Due November 14 happy Birthday Gail! Yes this means she will only be about 15 and 1/2 months younger than Bri! This is the hardest part for me is knowing that I will not be able to give as much attention to my children. And Bri won't get to be the baby for long!

Gina, You are such a great mom! You'll be awesome with 4 kids... I know you've been worried about this one being so close to Bri...but I'm sure you'll be great and you'll make it so each get's the special attention they deserve... I'm excited for you that it's a girl...2 boys, 2 girls... perfect!
I loved reading this. You have a great attitude. Carissa and Becca are 15 months apart, and honestly, it was challenging, but so fun to see what a close relationship they had. I wouldn't trade it for anything! Thanks for being so wonderful.
Amen! This was our Isaac. It only took us 1 time of not being careful! We were living with my parents with 2 kids, and now #3 on the way. I cried for hrs. the night before I took the pregnancy test, even though I already knew. Then, the moment the test showed positive, I was immediately ok with it. I did still have a hard time sometimes, and was so scared the baby would know I didn't want it. Luckily we found a house we liked, and were able to close on it quickly. We got prego in Feb, and closed on our house in April. But, not only was he conceived a yr. earlier than we wanted him to be, but then he was born 3 months early! I truly have no say in anything! :) Now he is 2, and a very good 2 yr old at that. He is SO busy. Jr and Sione tell me, jokingly, to trade him in for a different baby! But, he holds such a special place in my heart. The only explanation is he has a very special purpose here, and needed to come at a specific time. So much for plans!
