Who am I?

Today DH and I learned we are having...a girl! Olivia Grace. I'm still floating on cloud 9. Honestly, I've had this question circling in my mind since the anatomy scan, "Who am I that God would give me the desires of my heart?"

DH and I have been married 2 years. He has a 16 yr old DD, and 6 yr old DS from his first marriage. I have a 4 year old DS from a previous relationship. This is our first child together. Anyone who is dating, married, committed knows that relationships are hard. Understatement: BLENDED FAMILIES ARE HARDEST. I wanted a baby girl because my son melts me completely. Selfishly, I didn't want another DS to compete with him. After my DD told me it'd be "awkward" not being the only girl (she also has a 1 yr old bro from her mother's new marriage), but she thinks it's a girl I felt torn. All today DD has been distant. Other than her being 16 I think she's sorting out how this effects her (she lives with us 100% of the time).

I got off track. I'm over the moon about being pregnant with a baby girl that was created out of love, with my husband, at this time in our lives We've been through hell and high water to get to 2 years. So my question stands, "who am I that God would give me the desires of my heart?"


Any of you mamas feel this way?

    I definitely felt that way with our first...my mom suffered with fertility issues and I didn't think I would be able to have children. After 2 years of trying to have a baby and starting to check into what problems my husband and I may have and right in the middle of it we got a positive pregnancy test. I can't believe I have a beautiful and healthy 13 month old and am carrying our second son. God has been merciful and given me beyond what I could have imagined. Children are a blessing and even though I don't know how long I will have them but am so grateful. Maybe your older daughter just needs to be reminded you also see her as a blessing and try to involve her in preparing for a girl which is so fun and there are so many cute things to get them.
