A baby sister

No, I am NOT pregnant.

Just wanted to get that out there first. However, Antonio told everyone at daycare today he (we) are buying him a baby sister. Yup, so then the kids asked him if his Mama was having a baby and he said, "No, we are buying a baby sister." Duh. Then he proceeded to tell us tonight that we were buying him a baby sister for his birthday. Yeah, that is definitely not happening considering his birthday is less 7 months away.

Eek, in less than 7 months my baby will be 4?! Ack! How did that happen? FOUR?!? Whoa...how do I stop time?

Anyways, I digress. Since I am not pregnant and you cant "buy a baby sister" through adoption/foster care in that short of time no matter who you know, it is not happening. Poor Antonio. He has, however, been mentioning how he wants a baby sister for a couple weeks now. When I asked him what we should name her the other day he simply and plainly responded, "Baby Jesus". Of course because if we got him that baby sister for his birthday it would have to be Baby Jesus since I am currently (and yes, for sure. check out While the Doodlebug Sleeps  if you want to know why it's "for sure") not pregnant. Thank you Ms. Rosemary and the Christmas season for that. :)

So I guess we should start really deciding on if we want another baby by means of pregnancy or adoption. Adoption has always casually been mentioned as an option since I was SO sick the first 4-5 months of pregnancy. I am not sure, nor is Albert, I want to "risk" being that way again; it was terrible. They say you forget about it after the baby is born...nope, not me. It is still pretty vivid in my mind. Blech. And the high possibility of having another c-section? I just don't know.

Of course Antonio was worth it, but now being so "aware" of adoption/foster to adopt it is more of a realistic option. So who knows. Regardless, we are getting pressured by Antonio. Or maybe it is God's way (or the universe's) of telling us to figure it out. :)

We'll keep you posted!
