Baby Hungry

I have been feeling like I wanted another baby for a while now. For the last four years, since Scarlett was born, we have not done anything to prevent another pregnancy. I have kept thinking that I would get pregnant when the time was right, since I had no problem getting pregnant with my first two. Well for the last few months I have felt a little more urgent in my pursuit for a baby. It hasn't helped either that in our new ward, there seems to be like 15 newborns. ( I could be exaggerating a little.) Anyway, I went to see my gynecologist last week to address the issue of my not being able to get pregnant. He told me that we would do a xray of my uterus to make sure my tubes were clear and if we needed to he would prescribe me a fertility medication that helps you ovulate. He also assured me that my age probably wasnt a factor in all of this. I left the office feeling kind of excited at the possibility of having a new little one in our home.

Precious Words

A couple of days ago, the girls and I went to Walmart. When checking out, they both wanted a sucker, and of course I gave in. We got in the car and as they were opening them, Scarlett realized her sucker was broken and in pieces. She was devastated, as you can imagine a 4 year old might be. Without blinking an eye, Avery offered her sucker to her sister. She then told me, " Mom, we shouldn't worry about things like suckers and stuff." " We should worry about our family and how they feel." " It makes me feel so good to give my sucker to Scarlett to make her happy." At that moment I felt such gratitude to the Lord for sending such a precious spirit to live in our home. I was so thankful to hear those wise words from my seven year old daughter.
