Little love of my life

I just love Khalila like there is no tomorrow.
Spending January with her was amazing, when I wasn't packing, moving, unpacking, tending to others, etc...
We spent a lot of time learning, and she scares me with her eagerness for knowledge.
That combined with being the daughter of two educators makes for a fun time.
I am worried she is going too fast, as she is writing letters, doing phonics, starting to read, knows simple addition, and has memorized many of the bones of the body. She is going to start swimming lessons, and dance lessons, and has just started piano with me so maybe she can focus on that on not get so far ahead that kindergarten is boring for her. It's that space of not wanting to hold her back, and not wanting to push her ahead.

The other day she told Josh "Daddy get your gluteus maximus down here." Her favorite game is either house where she is the Mama and takes care of her babies, sometimes I get to be the baby, sometimes I am the babysitter. Tell me how she gave me a list of 11 things to do with the babies while she was in California. She also loves tea party time.

I need to document more of her life with the video and stills. The time is aflyin and before I know it she will be in high school.

Auntie A is 37 weeks and ready for baby number four. Miss S, Va and Vi are all 34 weeks. I am to be at three of the births, so I anticipate being one busy mama supporter.

As for my infertility, there is no getting over the heartbreak and the not understanding why but I have put it away for awhile. The pain was too much to bear on a daily basis. Khalila is finally asking me to have a baby, so I guess I have been thinking about it a bit. The exercise will help my PCOS by regulating my insulin. So I have not lost hope. Then of course there is always IVF, but right now we don't have health insurance, so that option won't be an option for a while.

Love you so much, mami. I am feeling the grief of my own infertility these days as well. Some times are okay, some times are awful. It's been the more of the latter, a month ago, more of the former.

Mom has a mass in her breast too, but I think it's probably benign. But it's scary, you know.

Love you much,
Inua
