Both of them were eager to have a family, so before getting married, they planned and discussed how many kids they wanted or if they wanted them. She dreamed of having a perfect family, and he joked about having ten kids during the wedding planning. She knew he was the one!
Right after they got married, they started trying for kids, and in a month when the pregnancy test had two pink lines, they were teary as it was more like a dream come true, but they did not expect it to happen this soon. However, both of them were prepared to embrace another big journey. Sadly, the first pregnancy did not end up well, as just at 6 weeks, the dream shattered with a miscarriage.
It felt like a loss of a child despite being early, as the excitement and joy they had turned into sorrow and pain. Because of her age, she often sat secluded from the environment and pondered if she would ever get a chance to embrace motherhood and, if she ever did, how long it would last.
The couple was overwhelmed when, just six months later, they found out God had given them another chance to become parents. They were hopeful things would turn out perfect this time. The pregnancy was smooth, and the couple welcomed their first child in March 2010. But who knew this was just the start of their beautiful family!
Thirteen months later, another baby was welcomed into the family, and the couple couldn’t be happier. However, the mother felt anxious when they got the news that they would soon have another baby when their third child was just three months old and the other was just a toddler. Would she be able to handle it all? Although she was happy as it felt like all her prayers were now being answered, the fear of being judged by society was always present.
The birth was premature, but now the couple had four children, all under the age of 3. It was chaos, but the couple was thankful every day and cherished their family. They were blessed with a baby girl after three boys, which made them feel even luckier.
Observing the thriving, happy family, the mother realized that she should not be ashamed to admit that she had four babies, which was a blessing. After all, people talk whenever they can, so why hide the kids from their fear?
Fast-forward to the present day. The couple is going to welcome their 11th child! Their oldest is ten, and they even had twins in 2015. Although it can sometimes be chaotic and challenging to handle so many kids around the same age, each one is truly a blessing that adds happiness to the couple’s life.
Having a good partner, a beautiful family, and a house filled with love and laughter has always been a source of stress relief and gratitude for her!
