It seems there are always people out there curious about "what's happening next". As soon as you start dating someone, they ask, "So when's the wedding?". As soon as the wedding bells quiet, they ask, "So when's the first baby?". And as soon as the first baby comes, the inevitable "So when are you having baby number two?".
We've had no less than ten people ask us when we are planning on making our little threesome a foursome.
And the funny thing is, I don't exactly know. And I'm ok with that. Me, who has to have a plan for everything. The one who was desperately wanting and impatiently waiting for Baby #1.
It's sort of a strange feeling, to be ok with our family size just the way it is. For so many years, I was hoping and planning and waiting for the "missing piece" of our family. And now that Cole's here, I honestly am loving how perfect our family feels right now.
It's like the difference between a kid waiting for Christmas and a grown-up waiting for Christmas. Am I excited and thrilled to add to our family someday? Absolutely! Maybe even more so now that I know just how much fun we're in for!
But for right now, everything is just right. And we are enjoying our family just the way it is!
Enjoy it as much as possible!!! As much as I adore having Phinneas here, I am so glad we waited for almost 2 years before having him after having Isaac. It just feels like we got to know Isaac so much as a little person before splitting our time between him and another little dude. I don't really know how to explain it really well, but it has been great just having Isaac-teaching him one on one, watching him grow and learn and discover.
