Baby Stewart #3 update

 Evan and Carlin shared a question-and-answer video for this third pregnancy. They also gave an update on their family.

Many of you have asked about their gender reveal and when it's coming? The couple has chosen to wait until the baby is here to find out if it's a boy or girl. They did say that if the baby is a boy, they will switch Zade and Layla's rooms around.

They also shared that they are going to have a name for a boy and girl. 

Carlin did share that she thinks that the baby will be here early so we don't have long to wait.

Zach and Whitney: Baby #3

Last week, we sadly announced that Zach and Whitney were expecting their third child and it ended in a miscarriage. The couple took to their Instagram account to give an update.

Many sweet people have been asking for an update and wanting to know if we’re planning to grow our family. The answer is we truly would love to! Our children are our greatest joys in life, and the love that they bring to our home is something that we live for.

At our vow renewal, Bradley and Kaci Lynn were so excited to be able to announce to family and friends that we were expecting our 3rd child and mommy had a baby in her belly!! ...but we soon found that God had a different plan for us.

We began our baby checkups and were very excited, but during one of our ultrasounds we discovered our baby had stopped growing. The tears started to flow and the kids could sense something was wrong. We were devastated and our hearts were shattered. Already, that little baby had changed our home, and our hearts. It’s amazing how you can love someone you’ve not met yet with all your soul and being. Our world was shaken and I suddenly had a new awareness of some of the pain so many others have experienced that have gone through similar losses. In spite of the questions and grief I had, I looked down and saw Kaci Lynn’s hand in mine. I can’t explain the love God showed me, and the peace I felt in the midst of such sadness.

Although my heart was hurting, I couldn’t help but thank God for my family and I feel so blessed to know that our third precious baby is now in his hands. I still have our positive pregnancy test on the dresser and I don’t know when or if I will ever move it. There’s not a day that goes by that we don’t think about what it would be like to have that sweet baby in our home. However, we know that God has a plan and his plans are perfect in every way, in every season of life, no matter if we understand them or not.

So many people have already been so thoughtful and encouraging to Zach and I and have touched our hearts with their own stories. We both really want to thank you for all your love, encouragement and prayers you have sent our way. God bless you all for your kindness!❤️
