As I was tucking this sweet, goofy girl into bed tonight, on the last night she is 5 years old:
Lexi: Why did you have a baby in your tummy before I was born?
Me: You mean why did I have you in my tummy?
Lexi: yeah.
Me: Well, I asked God for a baby. And he gave me you.
Lexi: He did?
Me: Yep. I’m so lucky to be your mom.
Lexi: Even if I had never been born and hadn’t met you, I would still love you.
(And then my heart exploded.)
