I am beginning to get more and more irritated by people when they ask me, "So are you having any more children?"
Does it really matter whether or not I am having more children? How will this directly effect anyone else's life? If I have more children what's in it for you? Am I weird for only having one child? Why does anyone seriously care whether or not I have more children?
I truly don't understand why this is such an important question that people feel inclined to ask. It is almost like we are looked down upon for only possibly wanting one child. Does it make us bad people for only having one child. Not all children without siblings turn out bad!
I truly can't tell you if we are going to have more children. All I can say is that for right now things feel right. It may be selfish on Brian and my part but it is what it is. We are happy. We have a fun life. We do tons of family adventures together.
I totally wrote up this long comment from my blackberry while I was in line (FOREVER) at Walmart and well I lost it. So what I had said was that I get it. Today, no joke, I said to my sister (re: this whole taking the girls to the beach thing) if it were just Paige and I, I would already be there. I miss the days of it just being me and Paige....so much! Especially the older and easier she gets, we could be doing so much. Not that I don't absolutely love and adore Leah, and I would not change one thing (well maybe if I am being honest, I would have waited a little longer to have her). But that little angel/monster turned everything upside down and although we are finally getting over the hump so to say, she did change things. So where I was going with this long run on sentence is....I get it! You could have 3 kids Steph and people would say "when are you going to have that fourth, you know you need to round it out, you don't want a middle child you know". If you had a baby you would have snoring, dog, night terrors, bad dreams and a crying baby....yeah that sounds fun ;-) Imagine how fun it is when people say ow you had 2 kids, and you want to say no lady I had 3 and I want credit for giving birth 3 times.....grrrr!!! These stretch marks are from 3 kids! :-)
ReplyDeleteGREAT blog!!!
That's the thing...I can just drop and go with Emma - yeah, we have a schedule but it's not set in stone anymore! I can give a little now. I just remember how I was when Emma was a baby - I was so strict on schedule. It is so easy now - we can do so many more things now that she's older...
ReplyDeleteIt makes me chuckle that you added crying baby for a blog title! How funny!
