It’s days like these when I want my own. I know that I am only 21, and not finished with school, and I’ve only been married less than a year, but still. I love kids, especially babies. There are many days when Nason and I pass by babies, and I (jokingly, of course) ask him to steal one for me. I want a little baby who is half mine and half Nason’s and all God’s. I want a pudgy little boy or girl, with my smile and his hair. I want to know that love that only a mother can possess, and be fiercely protective over a little person, and teach them and nurture them and love them.
It’s not just that I want a baby, either. I love kids of all ages, because I feel like kids only get cooler as they grow. Their personalities and opinions become more pronounced, and their understanding of the world and those around them deepens, and their knowledge grows. It’s an incredible journey to be a part of, and one I want to experience with my kids.
Still, I have to wait at least another year, so then I’ll be done with my bachelor’s degree. It’s the smart thing to do, and I know if I did not finish my degree I would regret it. But that doesn’t lessen my love of children and my desire to have babies.

I totally understand. Everyone told us, “wait 2 yrs after you are married to have kids.” We waited exactly 2 yrs and I told Rich- “that’s it- time to try for kids.” 6 months later we were pregnant with Cory. Kids are great! Being a mom is the hardest, most important job you’ll ever have, and ever love! You and Nason will make wonderful parents!

A. Trader Joe’s is such a KID-FRIENDLY place and I appreciate that so much. I often to choose to drive 35 minutes into town to go there for that very reason. That…and I love the food there! 🙂
B. Being a mother is life-changing and amazing. You are going to absolutely love it when that time comes for you.
C. Nason does have great hair (and you have a great smile).
