The Most Hated Question

A random dance party!

Giving a 'cheers' before drinking tea!

My Lovelies on Valentine's Day!
(Grace asked me to straighten her hair)

At the Lowe's build, making a music box.

Jenni in her new 'Big Girl Bed', she has done AMAZING with the change, and we are now 4 weeks with no Binky!!!!! She is a superstar!

I think once a week, we get this question, it is a stupid question, I can't stand it!

"So, are you going to try for a boy?"

What I wish we could say: "Hell NO!", what we opt to say instead is "Nope, we are content to be done."

Why do I need to have a baby boy? Why is it assumed that the perfect American family has to be one boy and one girl? Why can't my family with two daughters be enough?

Ryan and I had many conversations about the number of kids we wanted before we were married. I wanted three, he only wanted one. We met in the middle with two! Babies are no joke, they need someone 24-7. We have had several talks after having our second about possibly having a third. We came to the conclusion that we would LOVE a third baby, but I am a horrible pregnant woman and it would be totally irresponsible of us in a financial sense.

I heard someone say somewhere along the way that "all a babies needs to live is on love alone." Someone was smoking crack when they said that! My kids need diapers, clothes, toothpaste, socks, underwear, and education and not to mention food! Love is not going to come to my door and say here is your food for the month. Yes, my girls are loved to the brim, but that is not all they need nor want.

I personally believe that I had two girls for a reason! I am NOT a girly girl, never have been and more then likely never will be. I hate the color pink, I don't wear a dress unless I have to, and I love to watch and play sports. I sincerely believe that having two girls has forced me to look into the mirror and take a look at myself and realize that I have to be a strong woman for my girls. I have to show them to love themselves, to take care of themselves, and that means having to take care of myself first. Lead by example as they say. Grace is going to be 4 SOON and Jenn will be 2 SOON, everyday is a wonderful, sometimes painful, adventure. Why would I want to mess up all the fingernail painting parties and tea parties and such with a boy. Besides, us three girls kinda like having only one boy in our life, Daddy!
