Hello,
I am a mother of 4. However, as you see in this picture, only 3 are living. Our second child, Jayla, is with the Lord, and I know I will see her in glory again one day! She was diagnosed at week 20 of my pregnancy with a congenital diaphramatic hernia (CDH). She lived in the NICU at the children's hospital in Columbia, SC for 82 days. I know the Lord wants us to use this experience to bring him glory, and I would love to serve others with similar experiences or just Moms in general. Sharing her story strengthens me......
Our first child, Lexi, is 7, and very much like me. This can be good and sometimes is not. Our third child, Chaz, is 2, and is very funny and curious. Our fourth child, Caleb, is 3 months old, and already has lots of personality. I love it when my children smile at me. I love to see them happy. I love to see them all getting along (haha).
We so hope we lead them to trust and love the Lord and others as he loves us. Sometimes I wonder if I am doing that very well. However, I know on those days, I am forgiven for the mistakes I make.
I am blessed to have the family I do. I would love to have more. However, I was diagnosed with lupus one month before finding out I was pregnant with Caleb. My doctors are concerned that having more will not be good for my body. Therefore, I will listen and try to be obedient to what God has for me next.

You didn't mention, though, how unbelievably adorable Chaz is, especially in how he holds his lips when he chews!
And you are doing very well with the kids...I always love your laid back, positive attitude...especially when I'm freaking out and you just give that laugh of understanding!
See you tomorrow!
First, welcome to our little community! And thank you for so quickly sharing your strengths and struggles. What a blessing you must be to all around you!
I will commit to praying for your health and your family. My son-in-laws sister had been diagnosed with lupus and had been on all kinds of medication for a while but I believe she has made tremendous progress and is close to sympton free. We must believe that for you as well!
I have been encouraging others to share but I know that I don't have to do that for you because you already know the truth. Sharing with others strengthens us for another day!
I hope I have a chance to meet you sometime when I am down that way.
Blessings to you and I can't wait to know you better.
