Mama Knows Best

My daughter, bless her little heart, has always been a clothing fanatic.  Anytime that we have a holiday where presents are given, Addison quickly scans over her open gifts and dives right into the mounds of clothing.  The joys of having a little girl are much different than the joys of having a little boy.  Girls, or at least mine, is very much like me in the sense that she loves dressing up, but she also loves dressing down to play in the dirt. Addison is one of the only little girls in our circle of friends and definitely the center of attention, especially with Samantha and Kyle’s family.

Samantha’s two boys desperately want her to have another baby, in hopes of having a little sister this time around.  They adore Addison, which has driven their desire for their mother to have another baby.  Ethan wants me to have another baby because he’s suddenly longing for a younger brother.  Sam and I talk about pregnancy all the time and it’s helped me come to the realization that I am done having children.  So many aspects of my life would have to change in order for me to bring more babies into this world and I do not foresee that happening.  I am mostly content with how things are.

Samantha’s and my conversations are such a change of pace from what I am used to.  It is not that my other friends are not good conservationists, it’s that Samantha and I have so much in common.  Whether it be about children, body image (wrinkles, cosmetic surgery, hgh supplements), education and life in general– we agree on pretty much everything.  Anyway, after many long, long conversations about babies.. Samantha and Kyle have decided to try one more time in hopes of having their little girl.   So if y’all could say a prayer, it would be greatly appreciated.  My specific prayer requests are that they are able to conceive and that the baby is healthy!  Samantha went through several miscarriages a few years ago and her doctor told her that getting pregnant this time around could prove difficult.
