A baby no more, but a little lady.
In 2006 we had our first baby Josiah, 2007 the second Remington and in 2009 our sweet baby girl Sky. And yesterday as we celebrated our little girl's birthday I couldn't believe that my baby days were behind me. That I would no longer carry a baby in my belly, or look into their eyes for the first time. it is such a mix of emotions to feel all at one time. On one hand, I am so looking forward to seeing them grow up and become individuals but on the other I yearn for my babies to back in my arms being swayed to sleep.
The decision for me to never go through pregnancy was a hard one, but after three c-sections and my body just giving up after Sky I knew that this is what God wanted us to do. But still in the back of my mind I think maybe we aren't done, maybe there is a baby out there for us in the future. No it may not come from me, but sometimes I think I would love to have more. My children have been the most amazing joy and wonder in my life. And we have been so blessed by three healthy, vibrant babes. I mean seriously they couldn't be any cuter.
So I have no idea what the future has in store for us and our family, but I am excited to soak it all as it goes by........:)
Adoption is fantastic, but have you ever considered foster care? I am asking because I know you, and how wonderful and inspiring your family is... and I think that you would be able to impact so many lives that way. Also, a lot of times foster care leads to adoption... just food for thought. Love ya!
ReplyDeleteActually that is what we have always talked about doing, and adopt that way. We love kids, of all ages and just know that is part of our future. Thank you Mon for your words, support and always love:) Can't wait to see this summer!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see you either! No matter what children God puts in your life I know that you will be a wonderful role model and mother. xoxo
