Babies, Babies, Babies

   This week was the beginning of a new routine for Lucy and I. Two days a week, we will be having Hunter at our house for visits. I am so happy that these two will grow up together and that I get the chance to spend some time with my nephew. I am also thinking this may be a good introduction for Lucy to not having 100% of momma's attention all the time. She did better than expected these first two days and I can already see she is going to be a big help with him and with her own sisters or brothers one day. She is very sensitive to his crying and likes to help pat his back after he eats and when he is upset.

    I was also excited to see how I would handle having two kids under my watch all day, and I must say, it only makes me all the more anxious to have more babies! Yes, I know, I am not normal. I love babies, especially my own :) The nurses at the hospital were shocked when I told them "We will be back!" as I walked out with a smile two days after Lucy was born. Jameson and I are both ready for another baby. We talk about it 6 days out of 7 and can't help but wonder who will join our family next. We both see pink in our future, lots of pink! Every time I pack up clothes Lucy has outgrown I have this strong feeling I will be unpacking them for another baby girl soon. Obviously Jameson would love to have a boy but I have told him multiple times, God gives you what you can handle. He has the laid back personality that just may be what a dad of girls needs. The anticipation of having more babies fills me with a constant hope and excitement.

   As we approach Thanksgiving, I am overwhelmed with all that I have been given. A husband who loves me and is the most dedicated father I could hope for for my baby. A beautiful, healthy baby girl who shows me everyday that I am the luckiest momma in the world to have been given her to love and raise. Brothers and sisters that offer endless hours of entertainment and a distraction from the stress of everyday life. Parents who have showed us that parenting doesn't end when we move out of the house and that there are endless ways to show support to your kids and their families. I am blessed, everyday.
