I wonder how I would tell Dave he is going to be a father
or how we would announce we are expecting to our family
I wonder what it would be like to feel my baby kick
or to watch my stomach grow with a little one inside
I wonder what it would be like to bring life into this world
or to have the bonding moments of breast feeding my child
I wonder if they would have blond hair and blue eyes like me
or olive skin and a big smile like Dave
I wonder how I would design the nursery for my little one
or the cute little outfits I would dress them up in
I wonder what it would be like to have sleepless nights rocking my child
or to patch up a scraped knee after a fall while riding their bike
I wonder if our child would be great at math like Dave
or if they would have a creative side like me
I wonder if they would be hardheaded like the both of us
or maybe they would get the sweet content of my grandmother
I wonder if they would be athletic and active like the both of us
or be blessed with a great singing voice like Dave's dad
I wonder what it would be like to be a stay-at-home mom
or to see my little ones run up to greet dad as he returns home from work
I wonder what is would be all be like
or who they would be like
I wonder...

I must admit I still wonder a lot of these things myself, despite having two adopted and dear children. I always might wonder what a child from my own womb might be like.
ReplyDeleteI just love your writing...you always hit it right on the nail. I too have always wondered those things before my little ones came. I'm still wondering today though....but in a different way. I wonder what race our adopted children will be. I wonder if they will like the rooms I will create for them. I wonder if in the long run they will be grateful they were adopted by us. I wonder if they are curently o.k. and protected from those using their agency poorly....I just wonder!!! :o)
ReplyDeleteI suppose that is our nature as humans. We are always wondering and dreaming. I love all of the wonders you mentioned though. I hope one day those wonders will be explored for you...whether it be through a pregnancy of your own or adoption, I pray with all of my heart that it will be explored.
I also love your blogging award post. Thank you for all of the kind things you said about me. There are some new blogs there that I'm anxious to peek at- Thanks!!!!
I hope one day you can answer all of those questions and that one day I'll read a post about how you feel as you experience each of those moments. I hope...Love to you
