Chloe's Reaction

As it was well established, both Chloe and I thought I was having a girl. She had her heart set on it, so we knew it would not be easy to tell her!

I had wanted to tell the kids in a really fun way what we were having, but my ultrasound appointment got really messed up....so we ran out of time to be able to do anything fun!

My friend, Ty, was watching all three kids. When we got to her house, we gathered the kids and told them what we were having. Chloe dropped her head in sadness, crossed her arms, and walked away. It was so, so sad.

A few minutes later, she returned and seemed to be doing better! Within a day, she had changed her attitude from sadness to true excitement. She kept calling the baby "her" for a day or two, but now, she treats her baby brother with as much love as she did when he was a "she" to her! She is so, so sweet to her brother already. She kisses him, talks to him, and asks me about him often! It is truly so sweet to watch her so in love with her baby already!!

Women Are Powerful

In the past few Family First Friday posts, I have encouraged you to respect your husband, speak to him kindly, and be considerate (among other things). One might mistake these qualities as a woman who is a doormat, without an opinion, who never shares her thoughts. A godly woman is anything but those. God created women to be powerful . Amazingly powerful. Though God designed an order to families, women are not less than or inferior. We are different than men, but we are just as valuable. Unfortunately, many women misuse the power the Lord has given them through manipulation and control. Those are grave errors and will destroy a marriage (and a person). As I refer to power, I am definitely not speaking of those things. The power I speak of is the unique call of God for women to fulfill the destiny He has planned for each of us. This power is honoring of men (and other women) and does not fear losing control. I often tell my kids: "God created you to do something on this e

And Baby Makes 6

Baby Williams #4 is on the way!! We are beyond thrilled. I am due June 22, so I am about 4 and 1/2 weeks along. Each time I have been pregnant, I can almost tell immediately....I get insanely tired and very emotional (some might call it irritable). Because of that, I have never actually surprised Brett with a pregnancy. For a week leading up to taking a test, I say about 431 times a day, "I think I am pregnant"....so by the time I take the test, it is no surprise. I plan for this to be my last pregnancy. The only reason I don't say that without absolute certainty is because anytime I try to make "my" plans, God surprises me....but our plan is to stop with 4. I feel like this will be my last pregnancy, and for the first time ever, I am really excited about that! Because it's my last, I wanted to actually surprise Brett this time. Even though I felt tired and emotional, I did not mention thinking I was pregnant. As soon as I could, I took a test, an
