Wow,congrats! You look great, as always :). How are you feeling?
Aliesha says
Thanks! I’m feeling great now. I had afternoon/evening sickness in January, but that seems to be over now.
Davene Grace says
Congratulations!!! I’m so excited that God is blessing you with another sweet bundle! You look fantastic, by the way; and I love all the joy in these pics. π
Aliesha says
Thanks, Davene! We are very joyful!
Nicole Calvert says
So excited for you and your family! I’m 12 weeks today with my first, its quite an exciting time!
Aliesha says
Congrats on your first! Are you feeling well?
Crystal says
Congratulations! It’s so wonderful that you are welcoming one of God’s greatest blessings (and that you’re excited about it!). I am 39 weeks along with our 4th, so the joy of a new baby is very much on the brain right now! π God bless you and your growing family!
Aliesha says
We should talk! I want to hear your secrets for maintaining a joyful household with lots of little ones who are so close together!
Crystal says
I wish I could say we always maintain a joyful household but by God’s grace we are loving life and enjoying this journey He has us on. Being a mom to so many littles is definitely growing me in more way than I ever thought possible! I enjoy my children so much and can’t imagine what life would be like without them! I would love to talk sometime and hear all the things you’ve learned about nurturing your little ones and caring for your household. I’m sure there’s so much we could gain from each other!

Thanks, Courtney! I’m feeling pretty great now, though January was a little tough. π
Kristy Genung says
AHHHH I am SOOOOO excited. I was wondering when it would post π
You’re right they sure are adorable so why stop at 2?
I LOVE ALL of the pictures, but I especially love the picture of Tad and Vera. Although they are ALL absolutely precious!!!!
Love you and congrats again π
Aliesha says
Thanks, Kristy! I’m sure my girls can’t wait to see their “Aunt Kristy” again. Let’s start planning that summer beach trip!
Liz says
Congrats! I love the red dress!!! I feel so blessed having three. It is the best “busy” there is. I love having my “hands full” (that is what you will hear from people when you are out and about with three:)).
Aliesha says
Thanks! The red dress is one of those “infinity wrap dresses” you can wear a ton of ways. I’m a little nervous about feeling “outnumbered” by three, but I’m sure we’ll be fine! π
Liz says
It is an adjustment, but you just have to go with the flow. I am super structured, so i have had to relax a bit. It has been great!!
Tad says
Ow, Ow You still got it.
Aliesha says
Love you!

Kelly says
I’m SO excited for you!!!!! I wondered if you were when I saw the picture on Instagram where you said you were feeling good that day π
Aliesha says
Aw thanks, Kelly! Yes, that was one of the first days I was feeling “normal” again!

Congratulations! I’ve been reading you’re blog for a couple of years, and wanted to say thank you also… We just had our 4th baby three days ago, and it was my first unmedicated delivery. I read a lot of stories on natural childbirth to help prepare me, including yours. For some reason, the words you wrote “this is not pain, it’s progress” just stuck in my head during labor and REALLY helped me cope!
Anyways, glad my little girl is here now, and wishing you a safe and healthy…and fast!…delivery this fall.
Aliesha says
Thank you! That is so encouraging. Congratulations on your new baby girl and your wonderful birth experience!
Whitney says
Congrats! We have had 4 in 5 years, and we love it! God is so good! Much love to you and your family as you anticipate another gift from the Lord π

Congratulations!! You are such an amazing woman having three close in age. My girls are 2.5 years apart so I don’t know how you do it. My youngest is 18 months and we are starting to think about having another but I’m not sure I’m ready. You are wonder woman!!
Aliesha says
I’m definitely not a wonder woman! Just being honest, life with little ones this close is really, really hard sometimes. But we are so thankful for our children and consider them to be blessings! God always gives us grace for the things He calls us to. How great is that?!
