I remember asking my Mom and Dad for a baby. And I remember my daughter wanting us to have a baby. I guess she was serious about this baby stuff because I just found out she's pregnant with #3! I guess it's a girl thing most every parent goes through. But I don't know if I have seen any quite as insistent as Sabrins. It's really cute to me but I'm sure it's driving you batty! This too shall pass. Think you'll miss it?

She was 12 and we had a whole year of it. I think had we been able to afford it and if I hadn't been studying an accountancy qualification at the time we would have had a baby. Now she is 19 and wants one of her own - I'm convincing her she should enjoy her wages and use them on holidays before she ties herself down with bills let alone a baby. I think I have convinced her.....until the next time she mentions it.

Your daughter and mine would be great friends, I think. :) My Anna (she just turned 9) bugged us for years and finally gave up...you should have seen her surprise when last month we told her we are expecting #3. She is sooo excited. It IS a big decision, particularly for those with a special needs child (my son has relatively mild autism). I say take the plunge and go for it, but of course it's a very personal decision!
