nertsmommy Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 DS(5) has been telling me for the last two months that he wants a brother. I explained to him that we weren't going to be having anymore babies and he will have to be happy with sisters. I had my tubes tied after the last baby. I thought he finally gave up the idea. Last night, as I was tucking him in, he says to me, "Mommy, guess what I did." Me, a little worried, "What did you do?" "I asked God for a baby boy, so there!" Kids say the cutest things. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalanamak Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Kids say the cutest things. :) I was once standing in line with a 5 year old Sikh girl. She was telling me how much she wanted a baby brother or sister and that she'd asked her mother for one. Her mother, she said, told her it was up to Babaji. Who was Babaji I wondered. "GRANDFATHER" she piped very loudly, and everyone turned to look at us. (Babaji is also applied to their deity. ;) but I didn't know that yet.)

mama2cntrykids Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 My now almost 6 yr. old and 9 yr. old dc had been praying for about a year or so for a baby. That baby is now almost a year old! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leanna Tomlinson Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I'll just say that I had this same conversation with my 14yo in January.... see my signature.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nertsmommy Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 Okay, now I'm a little concerned. Maybe I shouldn't have gotten rid of everything. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Beware of relatives praying. :lol: Dh and I weren't sure we wanted kids. Unknown to me my mother had been praying about it for years. Ds was born 3 weeks early, on her birthday of all days. They are the bestest buddies and I let her claim 1/2 ownership of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keniki Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 When my ds was almost 8 he started praying for a baby brother or sister. This was fine by me as we had been TTC for about 7 years. 3 months later I found out I was expecting. He loved his baby sister very much, but was slightly disappointed that she was a girl. He promptly announced (he was almost 9 by this point) that he would have to get more specific, so THAT NIGHT he started praying for a baby brother. "His" babies are 14 months apart. Wait till I start praying for him (he just got married in December.). :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatherwith4 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 My DC have been asking about babies lately, too. I kind of hope they don't think to pray about it. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabrizia Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 My 5 year old has mentioned we need a new baby again, since the baby is one now. I told him he had to wait till he was a grown up and then he could have as many babies as he wanted, since Mommy is done. Fortunately he has not started praying about it yet.

Onceuponatime Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 My 5yo prayed for a baby brother and he got one within a year. He didn't just pray he had supreme confidence. It was very disconcerting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nertsmommy Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 Hopefully he won't get his sister to pray too. :lol: I told DH about what DS said and this discussion here and he said, "We should have had one more." I guess we'll wait and see if I'm that small percentage that the tubal doesn't work. :glare: Honestly, though I wouldn't mind another baby. I just don't want to be pregnant again. I just love the things my kids say. I'm keeping a journal for each one and writing all these cute little things in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumpyTheFrog Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Oh no, my 6 year old son has also been asking me for not one, but two more kids (plus a a minivan to hold them), so there are more kids to play with. I hope he doesn't start praying about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicMama Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Our Bishop's wife had a baby after a tubal. Plus I've always thought that the little child has a special place in God's heart when it comes to prayer...you never know! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommie_Jen Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I have to add my story. My boys were adopted as babies. I have been married for 15 years and have spent the last 14 years and 6 months or so birth control free. About 12 years ago I was pregnant 3 times in 1 year and lost them all, the first 2 were Clomid induced but the last one was not. Nothing since then. When older DS was about 3, he was in the back yard playing, came in, and announced that God had promised him a baby sister. Since then, there's been some other just odd...hints. A month or so ago, I dreamed that my boys were called up front at church and presented with a sister from God. And that's just the most recent little hint I can think of. I'm 35 and fully expecting a surprise sometime in the next 10 years or so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee_Queen Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Haha this was such a great thread to read through. My best friend has only one daughter and boy oh boy does she want a younger sibling. I'm not quite sure if she's been praying about it, but seeing as how I'd like to be an "aunt" again to a little one, I might have to help her start her prayers! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
