How can you look at these pictures and not want to have more babies? I thought about having another one for a nano-second. Then quickly threw that thought away! There is no way I could ever have another child. I think my sister-in-law Kelli pointed my baby trend. Boy, Girl, Twins, Boy, Girl. What's next in that sequence? That's right, twins. Sheesh, could you just imagine?
But, oh my gosh Grace was a stinking cute baby!! I forgot how cute she was until I went looking through all my photo folders. It's so easy to forget!
How does one truely know when they are done having children? Is it a feeling? Is it an experience? Or is it through deep, heart felt, sincere prayer? I never had the "ahhh I'm done" feeling when I had Grace. I know a lot of people get that confirmation. Even now when I entertain the thought I seriously almost get sick to my stomach. Maybe that's my confirmation.
Why am I thinking about this right now? Oh I don't know. Maybe because my awesome Sis. is going to have another one. And also my great friend Melissa. So I wonder to myself, "Am I really done?" As I think about those words, Yes I am done. I have done my part to mulitiply and replenish the earth! And gosh my babies are cute!!
It wasn't until this week that I finally felt confident to raise 6 children. I kept telling myself that it's a challenge. But I think in doing that I am hindering myself. Yes, on certain days it does have it's challenges. But what mother doesn't haven't challenges? Whether your a mother of 1 or 12. Motherhood comes with it's challenges. So bring it on. Just kidding. I don't want to bring it. I just want to get through it alive. I want my children to make it through alive and with the knowledge that they are divine, and that not only do I love them. But that their Heavenly Father loves them.
