Will there be 4?

I can honestly say at this point in time, there will NOT be a Little McAvoy #4. I’m still trying to figure out how to peacefully handle 3 🙂

I can’t tell you how many people have asked me this already. Hello! I just popped this baby out. The labor pains and misery are still fresh in my mind! Oy!  AND…the reason for most asking this question… “Will you guys try for a boy?”  Seriously?  The odds are DEFINITELY stacked against us on that one.  Besides, I wouldn’t know what to do with a boy at this point, and honestly I would feel bad for the little buddy “should” we get a boy. He would be dressed in tutu’s and jewelry more than overalls and mud. NOT that it is even an option at this point…  LOL!

However, it was all worth it now that I am holding sweet Preslee in my arms 🙂

  1. Ok….everyone that has had babies….remember those first few weeks after the baby was born? The euphoria of the blissful event? The discovery and joy of a newborn in your arms? If I remember correctly, it took until the "baby" isn't a baby anymore…perhaps walking, talking, and siding with the sibling(s)…..and then someone comes along with a newborn…..ahhhhh….the hormones start kicking in again……and we yearn for that newborn of our own. Maybe a boy this time, you start wondering. Maybe a "Chinese Birth Calendar" will work to that end. And then it starts…. But it takes a while…. Shannon, enjoy this precious time. There is nothing like it!! xoxo Peggy

  2. Oh I couldn't agree more Peggy….it does happen oh so fast, the yearning for a newborn again. However, I am not sure my yearning will be able to do anything about my common sense not knowing what to do with 4 kids! But…time will tell. Who really knows but God!! 🙂
