On June 20, 2010 I found out that we would be getting another little bundle of joy. I really wasn't sure what to expect this pregnancy it was so different than the first. It was amazing to see God work through this nine months as well. Kennleigh and I would talk about getting a new baby that she could help mama and daddy love, and how that she would be able to hold the baby, and we would pray and sing everyday. Kennleigh was so excited she informed me more than once that God was sending her a brother. She has such a grown up little mind. She said Praise the Lord He has done it again. My reply was what Kennleigh? Who did it? She says," Momma God's done it again." I ask again what did he do? Kennleigh said, " Momma he is sending John Parker and he loves me." We had found out just prior to this we were having a little girl. I asked Kennleigh are you sure he didn't say Blakeleigh. Kennleigh once again says did you not hear me mama he said John Parker. I went and had a 4d ultrasound done just to see if they had made a mistake. This went on for months. I put the nursery together and She would still say, Mama that is pretty but John parker is not going to like it. Needless to say as a mom you don't want your children to be disappointed. I began to pray and ask God to let Kennleigh love her sister or brother what ever it may be. I wasn't doubting that itcould be a boy because this had happened in our family once before. I was so nervous I even bought two little boy outfits just in case. The night before I had the baby I felt led to pray for our househould. Due to the fact that Shane was sleeping so good and Kennleigh was with Aunt Ashley, I just simply went into each room and prayed for Blakeleigh( the new edition),Shane, myself, and Kennleigh. Everything worked out great. The night Blakeleigh arrived Kennleigh could not have been any prouder. I will never forget she would walk down the hall and ask everyone to come in and see there sister. The nurses were great they just made a big deal over her being a sister, they came in and held her to make Kenneleigh happy and they would just simply smile as kennleigh sang about her new sister. After we moved down the hall several of the nurses came by and started talking with us about where we attended church, about Kennleigh, and just other random conversations. I forgot to mention, that as I had prayed through the pregnancy I simply ask God to allow me to be a great example to others. I asked that other people would be able to see Jesus through my family. I know that my prayer was answered, and I thank God for the opportunities he gave us to share about His miraclous Love.
