It must be something in the water...
Ok, to any of you who read this and know me well, you will know that I have wanted to have a baby since I was old enough to say it! I was one of those rare women who always wanted a family and always thought of names and had them picked out since I was 10. Well, this feeling is not even kind of going away. In the last few months...Heather had a girl, Natalie had a girl, Kate had a boy, Avery had a girl, Crystal had a girl, Jen is having a boy and Stacey doesn't know yet. Seriously, I think it's in the water. We went to Sherman last weekend to see the newest little member of the family and the whole time we were there...I kept thinking "I know it will happen, I know it will happen when it's right. I just have to patient and allow the natural course of things take over." And then Mark held the baby. I could literally barely breathe. I have no doubt that this is the man I will spend the rest of forever with and that we will have a family and he will make an incredible father. But, I am getting a serious lesson in patience and it's nearly killing me. Don't get me wrong, I love living here and being young and uninhibited. I love that we can play all night and sleep all day on the weekends. That I come home from work and can just veg. I love that we laugh and tease eachother and have fun doing anything. And I know that when the time comes to not have that anymore, I will miss it. But, seriously... my biological clock is sounding the alarm. Maybe I should just get a puppy.

Puppies are great. Every time I got seriously anxious to have a baby, Matt bought me a puppy. I have two and caring for the tiny little helpless things really did help somewhat. But I completely understand your want for a baby! Just hang in there and keep making Mark hold them until he wants one too. =)
You have no idea how much my dogs saved me when we couldn't have kids. No one really understood that THEY are our family. I love my pups ... and they are a good hold-me-over. Good luck in the baby making department, (it's fun to try though right ... ) -- you will be a great mom when the time is right.
Love and miss you!
