Malolo Family: December 2009

So, as some of you may or may not know, Brant and I have been trying to have a baby for over the last 2 years or so now, and have had no luck with that and I thought to myself, if I am not pregnant by the time Tejia is 4 years old, something has to happen beyond my control for me to become pregnant and have another beautiful baby come to our family!

Now, there have been words spoken by Brant in front of Tejia like Brant asking me, and asking Tejia at the same time, "When is mommy going to get a baby in her tummy so you can have a little sister or brother?" and Tejia replies, "I don't know; Mommy, do you have a baby in your tummy yet so I can have a baby sister or brother?" and I have to sadly reply, "No, I don't have a baby in my tummy yet." It breaks my heart that I have to dissapoint her by telling her no all the time. I would love to tell her "Yes, I do."
Tejia and I always sit down at night time and read her bedtime stories and say bedtime prayers and there have been a few nights where she has asked me, again, "mommy do you have a baby in your tummy yet?" and again I have had to tell her "No." So I told her, "Maybe we could ask Heavenly Father in our prayers tonight if he can bless us with a baby to come into my tummy so you can be a big sister!" So then she gets all excited to say her prayers at bedtime and ask her Heavenly Father for "mommy to have a baby in her tummy so she can be a big sister!"
Funny thing though, after we did pray for a baby to come to us that first night, Tejia was a little confused about the whole thing, that she thought Heavenly Father and Jesus HAD given me a baby in my tummy! So the next day, well, she had dance class to go to, and she went and told her dance teacher that I have a baby in my tummy and I didn't find that out until the next week at her dance class when I saw her dance teacher again. The dance teacher said that she heard a little seceret from Tejia last week that I was gonna have a baby!!! (Oh how I wish it would have been true!) Sadly it was not though:(
There have been a quite a few times Tej has asked me the same question again and again:(

To tell you a little more, I have a blog friend who I read about all the time because she is so interesting and wonderful, but on her blog she talked about her troubles and time it has taken her to become pregnant again. Also about how her little boy is so amazing and wonderful with his take on what they could maybe try, to help their family be blessed with another little baby in their family. I thought to myself as I read her certain blog post, that she has such a bright little boy, and such a wonderful idea to have their family do, to help them out. I don't know why I didn't think of it myself! I guess it takes someone or something you wouldn't really think about, until it hits you in the face! haha. Anyhow, I believe this friend did do what her little boy wanted and as it turned out, it happened for my friend! and I am so very excited for her and her family!!

Anyway, I guess what I am getting at is this, I wanted to ask my family and close friends if they will do the same for Brant and myself, if you will fast and pray for us that we may be able to become pregnant and be blessed with a baby to come to our family! I just feel like this is what we might need to help us out. I have a feeling it will happen for us. I feel like I want my whole family to know that we want it to happen, and maybe we can all be on the same page, and that you all understand that we haven't been holding back on having more kids, it just hasn't happened for us yet. Also that, maybe, with all of your thoughts and prayers, that just might help us out!

So, I just want to thank you for reading this and if you have read this, PLEASE let me know if you will join us, we want to have the fast all together, so let me tell you the day. I hope and pray that this might work out for our family. I love being a mom and, Brant being a daddy, having a family, it is by far the best thing that has ever happened to us and we just want that a little bit more. I hope that doesn't sound selfish, because that is NOT what we are after, we want to give more love to more family!

Thank you for your time in reading this post! Leave me a comment, txt or email or call!!
