Yes I Do...

Dear Baby,

A couple of weeks ago, an adorable student of mine with curly Q's pulled back in a ponytail asked me during lunch, "Do you have any children?"

I tried to change the subject by responding, "No. I have a dog and two cats."

I thought I was pretty clever. Surely she would take the bait and ask me my furry babies' names and colors. She seemed happy with my response. Her even curlier Qed (and equally as adorable) friend sitting on my other side was not. "Mrs. McDonald, don't you want a baby?"

Me: "Yes. Someday."

Her: "Does Mr. McDonald want a baby?"

Me: "Yes. Someday."

Sigh. Yes. Someday. And hopefully someday soon. Baby M, we are ready for you whenever you are ready for us. I frequently wear a necklace that has "Believe in Miracles" engraved in it. Somedays it is easier for me to believe in miracles then others. I hope someday soon believing in miracles will turn into experiencing miracles. Until then, just know that Yes I Do want you. More then I want air.

Love,
Mommy
