A little tip

Here's a tip: If you want something, ask your child to pray for it. If you don't want it, don't ask, and don't mention it to your child.

New Daddy had been on the fence about another baby. Some days, it was, "We've gotta have more." Other days, especially when Precious was rather tempermental, we were ready to put the brakes on. As the younger of two boys, more than that seemed like, well, a lot to New Daddy. I am from a family of four children, and even though I remember how tired my mom was while we were growing up, I tend to picture my complete family as having several children.

After New Daddy and I decided that another child would be very nice to have, we told Precious, and asked her a gender preference. She said that she wanted a brother and a sister, but a brother first. I encouraged her to pray for a brother and then a sister (this is where the above tip comes in handy). And I guess God was listening when we kept mentioning how nice it would be to have another baby.

Because.

We are pregnant again!

Another tip: If you can possibly help it, avoid getting pink eye during your second week of symptoms. The combination of a itching, burning, bloodshot eyes, along with fatigue and nausea is not a pretty one. But, if you must, I would like to recommend coconut oil as a remedy for the eyes. It soothes, is antibacterial and antiviral, and is great for easing open those morning shut-eyes.
