      Thanks! I’m feeling great now. I had afternoon/evening sickness in January, but that seems to be over now.

    Congratulations! It’s so wonderful that you are welcoming one of God’s greatest blessings (and that you’re excited about it!). I am 39 weeks along with our 4th, so the joy of a new baby is very much on the brain right now! πŸ™‚ God bless you and your growing family!

      We should talk! I want to hear your secrets for maintaining a joyful household with lots of little ones who are so close together!

    • Crystal says

      February 14, 2013 at 9:13 pm

      I wish I could say we always maintain a joyful household but by God’s grace we are loving life and enjoying this journey He has us on. Being a mom to so many littles is definitely growing me in more way than I ever thought possible! I enjoy my children so much and can’t imagine what life would be like without them! I would love to talk sometime and hear all the things you’ve learned about nurturing your little ones and caring for your household. I’m sure there’s so much we could gain from each other!

    AHHHH I am SOOOOO excited. I was wondering when it would post πŸ™‚

    You’re right they sure are adorable so why stop at 2?

    I LOVE ALL of the pictures, but I especially love the picture of Tad and Vera. Although they are ALL absolutely precious!!!!

    Love you and congrats again πŸ™‚

    • Aliesha says

      February 14, 2013 at 3:46 pm

      Thanks, Kristy! I’m sure my girls can’t wait to see their “Aunt Kristy” again. Let’s start planning that summer beach trip!

    Congrats! I love the red dress!!! I feel so blessed having three. It is the best “busy” there is. I love having my “hands full” (that is what you will hear from people when you are out and about with three:)).

    • Aliesha says

      February 14, 2013 at 3:55 pm

      Thanks! The red dress is one of those “infinity wrap dresses” you can wear a ton of ways. I’m a little nervous about feeling “outnumbered” by three, but I’m sure we’ll be fine! πŸ™‚

    • Liz says

      February 14, 2013 at 4:59 pm

      It is an adjustment, but you just have to go with the flow. I am super structured, so i have had to relax a bit. It has been great!!

    I’m SO excited for you!!!!! I wondered if you were when I saw the picture on Instagram where you said you were feeling good that day πŸ™‚

    • Aliesha says

      February 15, 2013 at 9:08 am

      Aw thanks, Kelly! Yes, that was one of the first days I was feeling “normal” again!

    Congratulations! I’ve been reading you’re blog for a couple of years, and wanted to say thank you also… We just had our 4th baby three days ago, and it was my first unmedicated delivery. I read a lot of stories on natural childbirth to help prepare me, including yours. For some reason, the words you wrote “this is not pain, it’s progress” just stuck in my head during labor and REALLY helped me cope!

    Anyways, glad my little girl is here now, and wishing you a safe and healthy…and fast!…delivery this fall.

    • Aliesha says

      Thank you! That is so encouraging. Congratulations on your new baby girl and your wonderful birth experience!

    Congrats! We have had 4 in 5 years, and we love it! God is so good! Much love to you and your family as you anticipate another gift from the Lord πŸ™‚

    Congratulations!! You are such an amazing woman having three close in age. My girls are 2.5 years apart so I don’t know how you do it. My youngest is 18 months and we are starting to think about having another but I’m not sure I’m ready. You are wonder woman!!

    • Aliesha says

      February 26, 2013 at 9:51 pm

      I’m definitely not a wonder woman! Just being honest, life with little ones this close is really, really hard sometimes. But we are so thankful for our children and consider them to be blessings! God always gives us grace for the things He calls us to. How great is that?!
