Throughout the last few years, we've always made decisions based on "if we have a baby." We picked a house with enough bedrooms. We picked a new car that would accommodate a car seat easily and the payment wouldn't cut into day care costs. Those are the big things.
Even in the small things, our hope shines through. I did a little art project last year and I flipped it over today and got yet another reminder. Maybe the new year will be the year we complete our tree...the year the other ornament gets a name and moved to the front.
I'll ask again this year, Dear Santa, please bring us a baby. (Shout out to the Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, Elf on the Shelf and any other creature that can hook us up too)
