I loved reading your comments about having more kids. I think Melany hit the nail on the head with her comment. I can't imagine loving another child like I love my Olivia. I know it's possible (since I've never met a parent who loved their other children any less) yet I still can't quite imagine it. I almost feel guitly even thinking about it.
After I wrote the post, and I imagined never having more children, I felt sad, so I guess I know I want them, I'm just going to have to trust that God opens up your heart for as many children as He blesses you with.
And in other news, what was a big nasty pimple has now become a mountain. If you look out your window, you just might be able to see it in the distance. It's so big, that when I met my sister at the grocery store earlier, she suggested I try cortizone in case I was having an allergic reaction to a bug bite. Nope, I assured her, it's really a pimple. And it hurts like hell. I can't smile. Heck, it hurts to talk because if my cheek even moves the slightest bit, it aches. Everywhere I went today, I was sure people were staring at my pimple. I tried to stand at an angle when checking out at the register or when people stopped to see my baby. I am so conscious of this thing.
I even made up a song about it to comfort Olivia when we was crying in the car. I sing to her so much that today, when my sister took her to another part of the store, I started singing completely randomly in the middle of the store, and when I realized it, I wanted to die. I'm sure people thought I just had lots of Christmas spirit! I must've been a real vision today with my pimple and random singing.
Maybe later, if I'm in a humorous mood, I'll post a picture of Mt. Pimple.
I posted on my other blog about my poor nipple. Olivia bit the crap out of it and I'm worried it's infected. Any nipple advice for me?
Posted by Hannah at December 22, 2006 05:51 PMSorry, no advice here. Actually, I need advice on this very topic. The biting has only gotten worse since Lila got her upper teeth. When I say "NO" she looks at me and starts bawling. She doesn't know why I'm suddenly upset. If you get any good advice, send it my way :).
Posted by: Chas at December 22, 2006 10:34 PMI also need some advice. Amelia bit me for the 1st time the other day and twice this morning! I shout, "NO" really loud but she starts LAUGHING when I do that! Laughing!!!!!!! I've heard you're supposed to shout no and they will learn, but what if they think it's funny?!?
I was CRACKING up reading abotu you singing in the store, I have TOTALLY done that several times!!! That's why we're such good friends, we're so... "Special".
