– The story of how I found out I was pregnant (hint: it’s wild-at a conference right before a big speaking engagement!)<\/p>\n

– How I shared the news with Adam and my two boys<\/p>\n

– The sweet and surprising intuition both Adam and I had about this pregnancy<\/p>\n

– How I’m thinking about managing life with a 16-month age gap between our youngest two<\/p>\n

– How we decided we wanted another baby-and whether this might be our last!<\/p>\n

– My birth plans and the decision between trying for a VBAC or a repeat C-section<\/p>\n

– How this pregnancy fits into our family’s evolving seasons-and what this means for my business as we become a family of five<\/p>\n

– Plus, my thoughts on going from two to three kids, and why I’m embracing both the challenges and the joys of this new season as a family of five<\/p>\n

… and so much more!<\/p>\n
