Let’s be real, I was born in Florida, being barefoot has always been preferred 🤣 I’ve also noticed here on Instagram and in real life, there’s a lot of assumption about who I may be as a woman, because I have lots of littles, or that I may be slightly oppressed by my husband and that is so far from the truth. First of all, I’m supported, cheered on, and encouraged to meet all my big goals in life, many of which are outside of motherhood. 😳 I can tell you I would have never written a book without his encouragement, wouldn’t be flying to speak around the country, and wouldn’t be the pastor’s wife, mama, or friend I am. In literally every area of my life, I wouldn’t be doing it the way I do and I’m grateful. No, we’re not exactly alike (definitely not 🤣), but we compliment each other. And he can cook some pretty incredible eggs and steak so I’ve been in the kitchen less later in this pregnancy 🙌 all of that to say, dreams can be accomplished with a big family and this guy is a major part of making that happen! #marriage101 . Some more matching pjs for these guys brought to you by @tottinikids again. So soft, they’ve worn them alllll day, and I may have trouble getting them changed before hockey. . . . . . #5boys #letterboardquotes #ohbaby #pregnantbelly #pregnancyannouncement #expecting #thebump #babylist #thisisus #ourfamily #ourcandidlife #largefamily #raisingboys #raisingthefuture #wearefamily #bigfamily #bigfamilylife #lovewhatmatters #newbaby #dearbabylist #mommylifestyle #motherhoodinspired #pregnancylife #mothershape #mytinymoments #documentingmotherhood #parenthood_moments #thingsiwanttoremember #motherhoodthroughletterboards

\"The reaction has, for the most part, been a resounding 'thank you for sharing that!' Many women with all of the same gender [children] get terrible comments and so they appreciate the encouragement I offer them as I combat what the rest of the world is saying,\" Tyson told \"GMA.\" \"And then I heard from some that it's OK to want a particular gender and I totally agree, but I want to be a help to those who are hearing otherwise.\"
