I have 3 children, 2 who are a year apart and I am also 8 weeks pregnant. My 20 month old has a rare genetic disorder named Charge syndrome.

The love that is shared between my three kiddos is the most beautiful thing to me. Having a loving family after growing up in a broken home has been so eye opening to me of what life is supposed to be. Every new learned thing, every silly act, every moment filled with love and joy, makes me feel as if I’ve accomplished the very thing that I was created for.
What is one memory of your kids that you will never forget?We took our first family vacation just a couple weeks ago to Florida to visit my husband’s family. My 7 year old son helped me all the way down with both babies for the 16 hour drive as well as the way back. He never complained once and the girls just adore him. My 20 month old has complex medical issues and I’ve trained him on how to do them all. He blew me away at how lovingly he took care of both babies with sheer excellence. My mama heart was just bursting with pride.
What would you do with $20,000?Well with a 4th child on the way I would love to have a little get away with just my husband, though it would be hard to leave the kids. We got pregnant on our honeymoon just 2.5 years ago, and our daughter came 2 months early. We spent 4 months in Nicu trying to figure out all her complex needs and how to get her home safely. It was very traumatic and then I got pregnant right away again. It has been a beautiful and crazy ride. A break alone would be miraculous to say the least.
