One thing that comes to mind listening to your chat is that as your children grow older, they are growing and not immediately older. That is God's grace to you as parents. We have 9 children and had 6 teenagers at once and now have 6 over 20 and what a blessing it is. Yes it is in many ways easier when they are little because you decide everything and they just go where you go. It is hard once they are older to keep your chicks under you as the mother hen but it is also so exciting to see where God leads you and your children. Remember do not grow weary in well doing for in due season you will reap if you do not give up. Gal 6. Having built in adults to chat with is such a sweet thing and when your daughters become your best friends is such a blessing. Stay the course and may God bless you abundantly.
Two of my favourites! Thought provoking conversation, and I am not going to lie feeling like I am in the trenches with two small children, nursing school and keeping all the plates spinning the thought of it getting harder is terrifying 😂😂💕💕
Please don’t be scared of having different age groups with your children! I grew up as the oldest of 8 and it didn’t seem that hard - if anything, it’s easier with that many older ones to help. We had a system of each of the 4 oldest had a younger to care for and it was our job to get us and our little ready for church. Teaching self-sufficiency changes the game! Edit: You discussed your favorite stages - I joke that I love the baby/toddler stage because it’s so easy when they don’t talk back, and plus their misbehavior is much more easy to manage because they’re in the early training stages! :)
Very interesting podcast, especially for me because I am not a Christian, nor am I even religious. I found the details about work life and making videos especially interesting. But I do wonder about the mic quality here. It doesn't seem like that nice Shure mic was even working.... Lisa's audio sounded much better.
Watching you two really made me wish I had more independent from my MIL's "advise how you have to raise babies". I would of been less uptight and less nervous I was doing things wrong. My kids are 44 and 43 with their own famiies and we have a great relationship. So things do work out, LOL.
I'm surprised the topic of pregnancy never came up as being the hardest stage of being a mother. Morning sickness, fatigue, and postpartum healing really took me by surprise.
