1 mumma plus 1 bubba plus 2 puppies equals our little family.

While so many of my gorgeous friends have had multiple children – or are pregnant with their second child – part of me is sad that Bubba won’t have any (non-furry) siblings. And I am feeling the weight of being all the parent she has.

Sure, I might meet someone, and if it’s really soon it may be physically possible that I’d have another baby. Or I may meet someone who already has children and a blended family we will be.

But for now, and for the foreseeable future, we are all we have.

In a world where so many people have so little, and many people struggle for one beautiful baby, I am grateful every single day for the gift of being Bubba’s mumma.

But today – as selfish as it may sound – I wish I’d been able to have a big, boisterous family.

I know I’m all that Bubba needs right now.

I hope I’m enough for her for always.
