Baby Flashback
By Andy on 26 November 2007 evening timeCategory: Baby
With about two weeks to go before the newest member of the Knight family arrives, Tiffany and I often find ourselves thinking about how life is about to get more difficult and challenging.
I remember having similar thoughts right before Caleb was born too. Yet, as I was looking through some of our older photos of him in his first year, it dawned on me how that perspective is deceiving.
Sure, life was crazier with a baby, and it will get even crazier with two children. But look what we would have missed out on! Had we chosen to not have children because we were concerned about losing our freedom or because we were fearful about complicating life, then we would have missed so many beautiful moments in life, like taking these photos:

I think from time to time how easy it would be with nobody’s health, well-being and future to worry about but my own, but then I think about how much the babies have enriched our lives and that I need to focus on enjoying each day.
I enjoy your blog!

We tried again though, and when my wife got pregnant again we were thrilled and scared at the same time. We didn’t want to go through the possibility of losing another child. It now makes me shudder to think just what we would have missed if we hadn’t trusted God and had you Andy! I love you son, Dad.
