a post from the archives....

I happened to come across an old post a few days ago. Just a simple conversation before bedtime that I recorded. Since reading it again, I keep thinking back to that time. I literally get tears in my eyes just remembering how badly I wanted a baby. The feelings are still fresh. It's amazing to know that I was already pregnant. Probably 3 along weeks or so. Little did I know what was coming our way. My cup runneth over.




Title: babies... and dogs
Posted: March 12, 2009

last weekend, our family huddled around the computer and watched old home videos. most of them were of Zack as a little tyke. I cannot believe HOW CUTE he used to be!!! What happened??

we all cheered him on as he crawled up the stairs, emptied the tupperware drawer and laughed when he spit at the camera. After 20+ videos, I told the kids it was time for bed. As I tucked them in, Ben said, "I wish we had another baby now that Zack is big." I tried to fight back tears because that's my wish, too. (second to WORLD PEACE, of course.)

Then Ben asked Zack, "Don't you want to have a baby?"

Zack pulled a growl face and said, "NO! I am not a grill!"

Ben laughed and Luke clarified, "But don't you want Mom to have a baby?"

Zack sat there for a minute and then quietly said, "Um--- I just like dogs."

we may just have to settle for one.
but you better believe it will be a GIRL!
