Playing chase, originally uploaded by kkirk78.
Wyatt's favorite game is to play chase around the house. I ran into the kitchen and hid and waited for him. This is him finding me around the corner...

Waylon, Jesse & Wyatt
Friday will be the twins' 3rd birthday. I can't believe it's been 3 years already! I'm very glad that while the intensity of the pain has diminished the memory of holding them has not. Those memories of them in the hospital are still as plain as day, which I am very thankful for.
I feel very blessed to have Wyatt after everything we have been through. He is perfect: healthy, cute and so much fun! There are times still that I see the twins in him. He was napping the other day and his jaw and mouth still looked like the twins. It's crazy after all this time that he would still resemble them at times.
Wyatt has been such a joy lately to watch. He is soooo observant. We were outside today sitting on the sidewalk playing with leaves. I was twirling one in my hand and Wyatt turned to the side and saw the shadow of the leaf moving. He would look at the leaf and then at my hand and then back at the leaf. It amazed me that he would be able to put those two together. He is walking around very good now and his favorite game is to be chased around the house. I have a cute video of us playing chase that I will put up.
On the other hand, he is starting to show us some tantrums once in awhile. If he doesn't like what I'm doing or what I'm trying to stop him from doing he will plop down on his butt and put his head between his legs while fussing. If I try to pick him up he just tries to keep bending over. So...I just leave him and ignore him. Once I do that he stops immediately. I have to admit thought, it's kind of funny...
It will always be mixed emotions because I am pretty sure that if the twins had lived Wyatt would not be here...so I like to think that Jesse and Waylon took the best of them and made Wyatt. That way I have them both still. I just feel extra special that I get to watch Wyatt grow up!
What's crazier to me than celebrating the twins 3rd birthday will be celebrating Wyatt's first b-day a month and 5 days from the boys!! I can't believe it's almost here!

To have or not to have...that is the question
Over the last several months I have been trying to decide on whether or not I want another child. If we were to have another baby we were thinking of trying at the end of the summer but...I am leaning more towards no more. I have a lot of reasons but it mainly boils down to me just being selfish and wanting to enjoy life and my husband. I love Wyatt and enjoy him but I feel if we only have 1 that we will be able to give him more things and go on more trips with him. I had postpartum depression after I had Wyatt and even though I was on medication it was still very hard. Plus I really don't want to be pregnant again. I may not have the contraction problems that I had last time but if I do, I wouldn't be able to work. This time since I am only working part time I would be out of an income as well. I know there are times in the future that I would want Wyatt to have a (living) brother or sister but I just don't know if I can do it. After a sentence like that, most peoples comment would be...you just do it when it happens. But why? If it''s something I'm not sure of then why put myself in a situation that I can control. I'm happy with the way things are now so why should I change them? I feel some people are born to be moms and others like me are not...it doesn't mean I'm a bad mom or hate it but that I have other things in life that I want besides raising kids. Any suggestions or thoughts on to have or not to have are welcomed...
