Two more babies

Last night I'm laying in bed with Clair as she's trying to go to sleep. She lays on top of me and asks, "Why is your tummy so big?"

I sort of laugh and tell her it's because I've eaten too many treats.

I think the angle she was going is that she hoped for me to say because another baby was coming. Her response was "when will you have another baby?"

I told her there were no more babies coming and that she is my baby. I said I did want to have another boy though. She said she wants a baby girl too. She says I can have "Two more babies." as she puts up her two fingers to show me exactly what she wants, as to avoid any confusion with her ask.

I do think it's super sweet she's willing to relinquish the role of baby in the family. I do wish I felt I could handle another baby without sacrificing the relationship I have with the ones I have already, but I don't feel that way. Plus, my body couldn't handle it.

So, Clair Bear, I hope that you and your siblings continue to love and appreciate each other as a group of three. It's a good number!
