After my friend Bobbi left, I checked emails to find a message from someone who is almost like a sister to me. She wanted to ask me to be praying for them, as they found out recently they are pregnant. I’m SO excited for her and her family. That makes three people that are near and dear to my heart, that are pregnant at this very moment. I’m SO excited for them all.
My mom and sister-in-law asked me last week if Marcel and I were still trying to have a baby, and I told her that even though we would both love to have a child, that I felt we were getting too old to actually carry a child. Don’t yell and scream at me- I know, I know people do it all the time these days, but I personally feel that for ME, that I’m not sure I’d want to bear a child at almost 42. I would love to be a mother though, and adoption is something that we’ve been considering, but still needs more research.
I would love to have a child, and I think I would be an OK mom, but I’ve never been one to think that if I don’t have a child, that my life is not complete. I’m not sure why I have never had that feeling, but I’ve also never had that – ‘the biological clock is ticking’ feeling. I AM a firm believer that what should happen, will.
In the meantime- I’m thrilled that three people that I know and love are expecting a little bundle of joy. I’m going to be a great auntie 🙂
