I have to admit, I'm feeling a little baby frenzied. I am attracted to the dream of family. For the majority of my life, I've wanted a big family. In my 6th grade autobiography, I dedicated an entire page to my future five children. Of course, I do not want five children. But I often think I want a solid three.
I went through a period of time in my teens and early twenties where I wanted no kids. This probably spurred by my fear of anything resembling commitment, as opposed to my real life thoughts. My real life thoughts love the dream of family. I feel like since Dax has been born, I've ran headlong into "PURPOSE." A Purposeful Life. It's clear, for the time being, what I'm supposed to be doing.
And now my sister's little girl baby makes me twinge with jealousy. I love my little boy, but the dreams of the little frills of a girl tug my heartstrings.
It just gets silly worse when, here I am, planning her baby shower and perusing pink invites and, oh my golly gosh, aren't these so friggin' dainty cute???

Those invitations are darling! And so are you... "the dreams of the little frills of a girl tug my heartstrings"... so cute! I'm still in that 20's frame of mind where I don't want any kids... but secretly I want one, just having fun while I'm baby-free! Love your blog- following! :)
Little girls are wonderful but even if you have 3 boys at least you have 2 nieces to spoil! PS Nova is an awesome name!
right?! I LOVE THAT NAME Nova! She gets so many compliments and it just fits this little girl so well. It means 'chasing butterflies' in navajo :-)
