You! (as in me)

I'm pretty sure our child thinks I look like this....

I do take a lot of pictures of her. She's the cutest thing ever so it's totally okay! 

In the interest of sharing - I thought I'd cover two very frequently asked questions.

1: "When are you going to have another one?!" Seriously??! We JUST had a kid! I thought the questions would stop - apparently not. Well the short answer is - we aren't. With my medical issues, the fact I was able to carry her as long as I did was a miracle. We were EXTREMELY blessed she handled everything she had to handle as well as she did. And we do not see us knowingly subjecting a child to that again. Now we know. And the doctors are sure it would happen again, probably sooner in the pregnancy and that's not a risk we're willing to take. For my life or the life of a child. So for now, we're content with our one little cutie! And one day we might look in to adoption. But for now, she's enough. 

2: "When are you going to pierce her ears?" When she's old enough to ask for them. I barely take care of my own earrings - I don't want to have to take care of hers. And I hate sleeping in earrings, why on earth would I subject her to that? "How will people know she's a girl" Because she IS a girl. Duh. "But it'll hurt more!" Nonsense. She'll just get to remember it. However, she will get the chance to make that decision on her own. She will ask, she will pick out her earrings and she will learn how to care for them. She will enter a jewelry store and come out a little more grown up. Because she WANTED to. Period. 

So there. ;)

Now for a smile. I had an eye appointment this morning so Aunt Tami got to sit with her. This is what I came home to.

The cuteness. Oh my.

Until next time....
