Today is my princess’s 2nd birthday. I can’t believe it has been that long. Most of you remember that I only wanted to have boys! NO GIRLS! I grew up with sisters and had a very bad taste in my mouth for what sisters are capable of doing to each other! As I watched my husband’s relationship with his brothers I quickly decided there would be no girls in this house! PERIOD! Of course, I couldn’t have an only child either. Soon after our son was born we were pregnant again and I was heartbroken when the dr. said “its a girl”. Now as I reflect on that day I realize how much God understood and how little I knew what was best for my family. My children are so close. The love and bond they have amazes me everyday! Now as we are expecting our third I have learned that Heavenly Father knows what is best for my family and I will be blessed if it is a boy or girl. I also know now from staying home with the kids that their relationship will be what I help them make of it. They don’t have to grow up with dislike for their siblings. Although I long for the closeness my husband has to his brothers I also have come to accept that I cannot change the past but I can help my children to build long and lasting love and friendships with their brothers and sisters as well as our closest friends. There have been friendships I have made recently that feel like brothers and sisters. I love these friends so much and I have been blessed to have them! Those relationships provide the closeness of sisters even if not by blood! THANK YOU to so many of you!
I attached a pretty amazing video link in case you have not seen it! Stay tuned… tomorrow will be birthday party pictures!
