Oh the wishes of children!

Lillian is in love with babies! Nothing too new, but since being around Jax and Dana her thoughts are more demanding. Here is a few examples: The first time she got to hold baby Jax, she turned to me and said "I want one. Can we have a baby?" I told her she needed to talk to daddy about it. Then just yesterday we were in the car and she said, "Let's go to the hospital." 'Go to the hospital?' "Yes" 'Why?' "So you can go and pick up a baby, mommy." I told her that isn't how it is done. We tried distracting her with what she would call the baby--she was stuck on Jax and Molly. When we told her those names are already taken she was upset. She really wants to have a baby in the house. She isn't the only one, but I guess I have learned more patience than her on this topic.

Hey a little bit ago you wanted memories and I have debated and debated on what I should write. You tell me about Lillian wanting a baby---well I don't blame her. I think back on the memories that I have with Kattie and it blows me away. What a great sister...who else could I possibly call @3am when my baby is in the NICU, a son recovering from a tonsilectmy, me feeling so lonely that I couldn't handle it and yet she didn't even complain that I woke her up. Who else would come and stay with me until 2 am in the hospital (because I didn't want to be alone) and then drive back to my house and take care of my kids. Who would include a freshman in her life even though she was a senior? Who else would I talk hours to on the phone at college about boys and school work. Who else would have enough patience to deal with me when I feel like everything and everyone was against me in middle school? Kattie would and for that reason I will always be blessed and treasure the memories I have with her. No I don't blame Lillian one bit for wanting someone there for her and so she can also be there for someone as well. YOU are in my prayers Kattie--I truly hope you will be blessed with another baby and that Lillian will be blessed with a sibling (boy or girl). Jenny

Well Lillian echos all of our wishes and prayers. Now it just feels more heartbreaking because Lillian feels a void....wha!

your name is on the prayer list at the temple. Good times to come Kattie...I believe you will have another!

It was so good to hear from you and be able to check out your blog! You have a beautiful family! I can't believe how big Lillian is. It seems like just yesterday we were all in TV pregnant, and dreaming of life after college! My how time flies. Good luck with Lillian and her desire for a sibling. Keep smiling and have a great week!

Hi there, sorry for not catching up earlier.
If we didn't have our son, I think Taiamani would be in the same situation as Lilian, asking for a sibling. It might be a girl thing and seeing friends at Church or school with their siblings.
I can't believe how big Lilian is, the last memory I had about her was when she was still a baby.

Awww, thats so cute! We waited 4 and a half years for Jocelyn, not that that compares to your baby wanting years! Its definately mind consuming! Marinda still prays that we have triplets, I keep telling her Im going to pay back the prayers when she is married! :)
I love your take on the reunion, it was fun to see everyone!
