In the last 24 hours, I’ve found out that four women I know are pregnant. Spring has sprung, I guess. This morning, Ava came in while I was getting ready and patted my tummy. She said, “Do you have a baby in there, Mom?” I said, “No,” and she said, “Well, it looks like you do.” (Isn’t that great?! What a self-esteem booster!) Then she said, “I wish we could have a baby, Mom. I would be the best big sister if you had a baby. I’d feed her from my nipples, and then I’d go get my driver’s license and drive her everywhere she needs to go. And I’d give her my booster seat and take care of her.” I tried to hide the tears in my eyes when I hugged her. It’s just one of those days.
