Is it March yet?

This is harder than I thought! I am definitely ready for March!

I went and enrolled Brooks for next year. We are sending him to a class that is for children that have had two years of preschool, but the parents are waiting to send them to Kindergarten because of a late birthday. So this will be a perfect fit for him (hopefully). Plus it is at the church that is right at the corner of our neighborhood. I am worried because he went through K at St. Joe this year, but as long as he has fun we can continue to work with him on the reading and math. He will go on MWF from 12:30-3:00. That will be a big change, but I am very excited to have him home with me!

There were three of us enrolling kiddos. 2 pregnant women and me! Fantastic! They were going on and on and on about when they were due, and how they were due 10 days apart, and maybe they would see each other at the hospital, and how neat that would be, etc., etc. I just filled out my paperwork. But as the lady started to take us on the tour, they asked the question. One of them had a 3 year old and one had a 2 year old. They then turned and said how old is your child? I said I was enrolling my four year old in the pre-k and then there was the awkward silence while they waited for me to say how old my other child was. Remember, Johnson County is the reproductive capital of the world. It was then I started to realize that all families are judged for their size, big or small. I thought of the lady who just had a litter (octuplets) and realized that for as much flack as people give her for having 14 children, only children families get the same kind of flack, just on the other end of the spectrum. While I in no way agree with Octomom I do see the judgement on all types of families.

Overall we are doing good, it is just difficult to think of where we would be right now. And for some reason so many people have been asking Brooks if he wants a baby sister or brother. Obviously, these people don't know the history, but it still hurts. Brooks continues to say he wants to be a brother and in my heart I realize there is nothing more I would love to give him! I did think/hope we would be pregnant by now, but I don't think that is going to happen anytime soon.

Please keep us in your prayers as we travel through these next couple weeks.
