These three

Yesterday we visited our architect and I decided to take out the extra bedroom/bathroom on the first floor. This was a hard decision for me because I have really been feeling as if our family is not complete. I saw a quote on another blog that sums it up......

" These three are enough. These three fill my days and nights and sometimes beyond. These three are brimming with my hopes and prayers. These three can't hold any more of my love, but I wish there was just one more. There's room in our home for one more. There's room in our hearts for one more. We have all this love that is missing a child".

I have told myself two things about giving this room up... the first being that IF we had another child he/she would want to be on the second floor with all of the other children (and there is the room upstairs), and second we can always change our mind before we pour the basement. I have just dreamed of this room being my "dream nursery" for that fourth child. It is right across from our room and just in the best location, but I also LOVE the way that the house seems much more of a cottage without it. Decisions, decisions...
