I often ask myself, what in the world compelled me to want to have children? Then I hang out with them and realize, I actually like them...only when they are not fighting, making messes, and waking me up when I'm trying to sleep. Seriously, eyes closed mean I'm sleeping, or I was! Ugh kids!!!
While out shopping the other day, I was again reminded by a large family- 4 kids, and mommy was glowing with another baby on the way, that I thought, would I want to really have another? Hmmmm.
I often have dreamt of a little baby girl. She is so beautiful and well behaved in my dream. The reality is the toll it will take on my body and hormones and adjusting once again to a rigid baby schedule which really does not allow for sleep, for at least a few years. Again, hmmmm. I honestly don't know.
I love my boys and can't imagine my life without them. My nephews are so young and I adore spending time with them to. Maybe just being an aunty for now is good enough.
My first goal is to get to my optimal health. I wouldn't want to even attempt another pregnancy without being the healthiest I could be. The first time I was pregnant, I was really young. Now that I'm older, I need to be in top shape before even considering it.
I have a few more years to think about it. Until then, I'm going to enjoy all the time I get with my little nephews and appreciating my older boys, especially now that they can pretty much take care of themselves, and me to. I love that.
That reminds me, I need to ask my older son to finish editing my projects and the younger one to make rice for tonight's dinner, right after they sweep and mop the downstairs. This is when I really think I should have had a couple more servants, I mean children. Ha ha.
Someday, they will take care of some lucky girls. Hopefully they will have lots of kids of their own, and I can just visit.
Love, hugs, and giggles!
Aloha,
Maile
