or I get this one too – “Don’t wait too much longer to have another one.”

These questions & comments have been coming up more and more lately. It’s like the closer your child gets to two years old people just assume that it is time for another one.

Last week I heard this question (or some form of it) at least 3 times. One being from the cashier at the grocery store that sees me every week. To be honest, when I first hear the question I think to myself “Well, actually I would be 7 months pregnant right now.” But I don’t want to tell strangers or people I barely know that I lost my unborn child. I just don’t want them to feel bad then for bringing it up and then feel like that have to apologize.

I still have bad days and think of Baby August a lot.

I also think how hard it would be right now because if it was anything like my last pregnancy I was so miserable by 7 months and to think I would be trying to chase and discipline my tough toddler right now. God knows best and His timing is perfect. I think to myself, “but I could have done it, Lord.” Sure, it would have been really REALLY tough, but I would have done it all just to have my baby in my arms in August.

But that was not the Lord’s will, so I have to look on the bright side of things. I will say I am so thankful that I have had this time with just Abel. We have the best time together! (minus the horrendous terrible two moments) I have so much energy right now and I love just being able to chase him around and easily pick him up.

So for now, I am loving life not being pregnant. Hopefully, the time will come again sooner than later, because we really do want more children, but for now here’s to having energy!
