The couple announced Amber’s pregnancy in March, nearly two years after the tragic death of their 3-year-old son, River, who tragically drowned in the family’s pool in June of 2019.
“We’re pregnant. I don’t have many words for this video. Life isn’t perfect. Sometimes it’s beat up and broken but it’s NEVER hopeless. God promises that,” Smith captioned the announcement. “Our story isn’t finished yet, and neither is yours! Through our suffering and joy, God’s glory radiates through it all! A new Smith boy is due in August ”
At the time, Amber admitted that she never imagined she’d be expecting another child at this time in her life.
“Never did I think at 39 I would be blessed with expecting another baby boy,” she wrote. “These past couple of years have been so rough but also so full of so much joy, hope, healing, growing and grace from God. Lord, I pray that our story can speak life to someone else who may be suffering to never give up hope. To surrender their burdens to you. To trust you even when it hurts.”
Baby Maverick joins London, 9, and Lincoln, 7.
