I’m honored to have you here today, Leighann!

My husband flicked the dried barf off of my shoulder and smiled at me while we waited for the doctor. His hand reached to push my hair away from my face but stopped short when he realized just how gross it was.

I didn’t care what I looked like, I had just pushed a child out… what? Three months ago?

Wait.

Was it three months  already?

No.

I felt like I would have showered since then.

Looking around the room it felt like there were entirely too many children in the small space.  I could feel my eyes widen and my body squirm uncomfortably at the thought of several tiny people to look after.

I was struggling enough with just one.

What on EARTH would make someone want another baby? I was baffled and could feel tears stinging my eyes for the second time that day, there was NO WAY I was ever doing this again!

I looked at my husband and told him with purpose “NO MORE BABIES!”

He looked down, took my hand, and agreed.

Now, almost three years later, a PPD war won, and my heart is bursting.

It’s full to the brim with love for my daughter, so full sometimes I wonder how there could ever be enough room for more….but you know what?

There is.

I’m THAT mom in the dr’s office who is drooling over your baby while you’re trying to breastfeed privately but I didn’t notice because I just want to catch a glimpse of his tiny little cheeks and beautiful little nose, and I’m so sorry I don’t want to interrupt but OMGLOOKATYOURMIRACLE!

Because I love the sweet smell, tiny noises, and thought of adding to our family.

A second chance.

I’m ready for another miracle.
