   My daughter is 4. I remember when it was fun for her to use utensils. They now just get in the way. I, too, cannot believe how big she is getting and how fast. I sometimes wished for my snuggly little lump back, but when she started pretending to be a baby so I could have my lump, I began to let her know how much more fun she is now. Little ears…

   What great stories! We’re at about the t-minus 3 week mark here, so it’s nice to know we’ve got something to look forward to. 🙂

   Why in the world would anyone want to bring a child into this world?

   EClark,
   In my case we tried for about 10 years and nothing. Eight years after that we were surprised that the test came out positive. I thought I was going through an early menopause and the book I read told me to take a pregnancy test to rule it out. I can’t tell you what a joy she is. Children make us better people. We become less selfish and more patient. Not to mention the unconditional love you get. Now, I realize not everyone is cut out to be a parent and some may have no interest in children, and that’s fine. But my daughter gives me so much every day and I can only hope to give the same back. I didn’t understand how much I could completely love another person until after I had her. So it’s a loop. You don’t get it until you do it.
