http://bestvideobabymonitor.co.uk/shop/ you find yourself inundated with cards, gifts and congratulations from friends and family who will comment on the colour of your pushchair and demand a retelling of your birth story whilst also wanting to know how your feeling, sleeping and feeding your baby! Then amongst the offers of babysitting and advice to enjoy the baby stage, there will be that one question, this one question that even to this day, six years after giving birth annoys me....So when you having the next one?Why would you ask that to a mother who has been up all through the night, cleaning sticky yellow poo and feeding on demand from breasts so http://www.songsforteaching.com/familysongs.htm painfully heavy you feel as though you're walking around with a lorry attached to your chest. I was asked this weeks after Lei was born and I never knew what to say because to be honest, creating another baby was the last thing on my mind
As the weeks turned into months and the months now years, that question is being asked but now with Lei added in for extra emphasis:
Doesn't Lei want a brother or sister?I can remember when Lei was about three and we had a conversation that went something like this:
Lei: Mummy can I have baby sister?
Me: Where am I going to get a sister from Lei?
Lei: Tescos
Unfortunately my shopping lists never include babies and Lei has outgrown asking me this question all the time, although if you do ask, she will say yes, she wants a sister but don't all children want siblings? I remember wanting a sister when I was younger- I got a brother! So we can't all get what we ask for ay? ha!
