It's the Little Things by Pixies3 (helseyc)

Even before Erin and Sunny turned 1 I have had on my mind the thoughts about having more children. I have always felt I had "4" in me! My husband said he'd be happy for me to have more children with my next husband! Such a funny guy, but he really is quite nervous about the prospects of having 4 & 5! More twins! Of course we'd be able to do it again, but two babies at once is hard work now that we've been there and done that! Hats off to the triplets, quads and more parents!

Why am so focussed on another baby I wonder?
Is it a natural motherly instinct?
Is it a " I've 'done' twins for a year, I can handle another one surely" type of thought?
Is it hormones?
Or is it the fact that I will be 39 in Feb and am running out of time!?

I don't know what it is!

I find it's the little things that make me think a 4th child would be so wonderful!
I marvel at Claudia, my now 3 year old, every day! She lights up my world and makes me want to jump off a bridge all in the very same day. It's truly amazing!

I remember pulling back my bed sheet one night only to be greeted by all the wiggles stickers from the kids weetbix pack stuck right there where I slept! Oh it made me laugh.

And the time I found Dora's iceskating boot in my ugh boot - as you do! Or the missing jigsaw piece in the video slot.
Well tonight it was two things that made me smile. The toys put to sleep beside our bed

and when I went to have a shower...there were the little ducks lined up in a row with a squeezy ball leading out front!

I can't wait to see what Erin and Sunny will be like at her age and what mysterious little things they'll do!

And it is these little things that make family life so delightful and I think it makes me want more children.

Just as the really "ungolden" days make me think I'm crazy for even thinking these thoughts.

What jolts me back to reality even faster than not so great days, are those couples (family and friends included) that have great difficulty in falling pregnant.

We know we are very blessed and, after all my thinking around the subject, are very content with the 3 little pixies that we have.

I just hope my thoughts of more children come true for the loved ones who yearn for one of their own.
