In case you missed our pregnancy announcement, Mr. Handsome and I are indeed expecting a baby! We are beyond thrilled and are incredibly grateful to God for this gift. After experiencing two miscarriages in 2020, we do not take this little life for granted.
Losing two babies has brought us closer to the Lord and has clearly shown us that the only way to make it through the uncertainties of life is to lean on Him. We have always loved and cherished Little Buddy, but after two miscarriages, we see him as even more of a miracle than we did before.
Our baby is due in a few months, and we look forward to announcing the gender soon!
Please follow and like us:
So happy for you! 2 kids is an adventure but it’s wonderful! Excited to watch your journey.
YAY! I’m still so happy for you 🙏🏻 I will keep praying for this precious babes life 👶🏻 Can’t wait to know the gender, and due date! My mom is pregnant and due in April!
Do you know the gender?
That’s exciting! Congratulations to your family! Will she find out the gender?
We know and will share it soon. 🙂
No we don’t find out the gender, this is our 9th baby:) We are super excited thanks!
Can’t wait to find out the gender for your baby;)
Wow, y’all are experienced!
I felt it was so much more fun not finding out the gender!
So very thankful for this little life!! I’m looking forward to hearing more about your baby in the weeks and months to come.
I understand, after losing someone it makes the people still with you that more special. Do you now know the gender but waiting for the right time to tell us? 🙂
Yep we know and will share soon 🙂
I’m so happy for you guys and praying everything goes well! 🙂
Thank you, Kim! 🙂
My guess is:
– daughter
– due January 19th 2022
Congratulations!
Thank you, Leah!
I’m guessing a girl and that she will be born on your son’s third birthday.
My guess is: son, due January 30th 2022
I’m so excited for you all! I can’t wait for the gender announcement but I bet it’s a girl.😍
I think this one is a girl. Due. January 8,2022. Or could have it on little buddy’ s birthday.
Baby girl in February is my guess:)
I pray for a healthy mom and baby💗💙🙏. As a mom of 4 boys, it is fun to guess. I think you are having a little boy💙. Either way- daughter or son….a blessing.
I know you protect Little Buddy’s privacy- will you all use a name theme? Unintentionally, all 4 of are boys first names end in ( an/in)😊.
Thank you, Jennifer! That’s fun to have a theme. We really struggle to find names that we like though, so I think a theme would make it pretty much impossible, LOL
Congrats!! I’m so excited for you! May God bless you, your baby and your family!
DEAR ELLIE!!!!!!
WOW, I am very very glad to hear that U are expecting WOW, I just hope U take with U, to this birth your Mother-N-Law, cause she helped U, so much when U have Little h!!!! Please take good care of yourself, put your feet up, and have the best time!!!!!!! I love was 3, now 4!!!!!!!
Justine she can probably only take Mr. Handsome in with her for the Birth. Due to covid. Most hospital and birthd center will only allow 1 person in their at a time.
What WONDERFUL news!!! An answer to prayer! So happy for you and pray that everything goes well with remainder of pregnancy and a healthy baby. – Shell
Thank you, Shell! 🙂
I think girl and that it will be born in December.
Hi Ellie! Congratulations, what wonderful news! Just wanted to tell you I will be keeping you and your family in my thoughts throughout your pregnancy!
I also had 2 miscarriages pretty recently, I know how hard that can be. Wishing you and your new little one the best.
Thanks for all your work on the blog over the years, I have been a reader for a long time and really appreciate you!
Thank you for your kind words! I am blessed to have you as a reader. I am very sorry to hear about your miscarriages. It’s so tough! Are you doing alright?
Congrats! I’m guessing mid February with a little girl. (You had mentioned LB will already be three I believe 🙂
Just seeing this now. Congratulations to you and your family! <3
Thank you, Zania!
Congratulations! I have been a way from your blog for a while, life is busy. But I was wondering how you were doing. I’m so happy for you, your his, and your son. I’ll be praying for you and the baby. God is so good!
Children are so precious. Our 7th was born 5 months ago. Every day as I look at my children, I’m reminded of God’s love and goodness.
Hi Jessica,
It’s good to hear from you. Thank you for praying! Congratulations on your 7th child! Has the transition gone well?
Ellie
Everything has gone great. I have 1 girl and 6 boys in a row. After a certain number, it’s easier to transition. The hardest thing was my then youngest was still nursing and co-sleeping. But after a few weeks, he slept in his bed and no longer wanted to nurse.
Having two children will be fun. It’s special watching the bonds and laughter they share.
Wow, six boys! I bet you’re a pro by now on raising little boys. Let me know if you have any tips! Glad to hear things are going well 🙂
My oldest boy just turned 10, (My daughter is 11.) I should be an expert by now. 😀 But every child is different, and they’ve all had different challenges. Some days, I don’t know what I’m doing.
That’s the beautiful thing about life, it doesn’t have to be perfect. And we grow as parents as we raise our children. And God equips us to raise our children for Him.
If I remember correctly, my 2 year old was born a few weeks after your son. His birthday is in February.
It’s a fun age. My 2 year old is more into my baby now than he was during the newborn stage. My 2 year old makes my baby laugh all of the time. It’s so sweet.
That’s so sweet! Makes me really look forward to seeing my son with the new baby.
Congrats sister! I’m so happy for you! Praying all goes well. Got some news of my own, Feel free to email if you still have my email.
Thank you! And I would LOVE to hear your news! I can’t find your email address though 🙁 Can you email me?
Ellie
Congratulations Ellie and family! You are certainly blessed. But so is that baby. He or she will be born into such a kind, beautiful, loving, faithful family. I look forward to hearing about your journey. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your incredibly kind words, Barb. I am so glad to have you as a reader.
Oh Ellie! I hadn’t looked at your blog for a little while… I’m SO happy for you guys!! Especially after 2 losses in a row – so hard, but such a blessing now 🙂
We now have two little boys – they’re 2yr 4mo and 4 months. It’s very busy!
Thank you, Shell! How is your older son adjusting to having a little brother?
He’s doing better than I feared, but it’s up and down. Sometimes very sweet towards baby, and sometimes jealous – like wanting any object the baby has, or getting a bit frustrated that he doesn’t have all our attention now. We’re trying hard to mitigate that! There was a little bit of attempted hitting earlier, but not recently. And we don’t leave them alone together yet! 🙂
Not sure if it’s helped a little reading stories about a new sibling (e.g. ‘Jenny’s New Brother’).
I’m hopeful that they’ll be great friends as they grow!
Thank you for sharing, Shell. I’ll have to look at getting some new sibling books.
