Another baby in the house?

I was 28 when I conceived my eldest girl, Aleesya which was a year and a half after my marriage in 2001. I got hitched rather a lil' bit 'overdue' despite the 9 years of courtship. Luckily we did end up together, otherwise what a waste of time, not to mention money too!!! So, gave birth to her on 5th May 2003 at 29 years old and being the only baby in the house, both mine and my parents', Aleesya never failed to be the center of attention. Every wish of hers was gladly granted, turning her into a pleasantly pampered girl. So, she grew up a happy young girl....

In May 2006, another baby was making her way to the world, Alyana born on 16th January 2006. My pregnancy scan was a boy. Guess 'he' decided to have a sex change at the 11th hour...hehehe. Well, both my girls are premmie babies but born safe and sound, no complications at all except very mild jaundice lasted for about a week or two. Aleesya was 2 years and 10 months old when Alyana made her arrival. I could clearly recall how affected she was upon the arrival of her new baby sis. Tantrums, screams, cries and what nots just for the attention she desperately needed. At times she would disappear and sneak into my room when my eyes were elsewhere and there came cries of her baby sis. Aleesya had this habit of poking and squeezing Alyana's head for no reason...wait, jealousy maybe? Adjustments and acceptance took a while.....

Today, my two angels are the best of friends and the worst of enemies at the same time. Aleesya has turned 5 and Alyana is 2 1/2 now. And still there's no signs whatsoever of another child adding to the present list...I'm all ready if it happened but not my hubby. He has his reasons for putting this particular plan on hold for the time being, maybe till August. So, Alyana has never made an encounter seeing me pregnant or anyone else for that matter but to my disbelief, of late she has been giving me signs and hints of pregnancy, claiming there's a baby in her own belly! It's rather frequent now. Should I start worrying...for myself or a two year old carrying a baby in her belly? Hmmm....

Just this afternoon, we went for a kenduri aqiqah (welcoming a new baby) at a neighbour's house. There was where Alyana had her first upclose and personal encounter with a baby as young as 3 weeks old. I observed and couldn't help to notice how she was amazed and stiffened by the sight of that incredibly tiny baby. Alyana longed to touch the beautiful baby but too afraid or worried to do so, her eyes told the whole story though. It hit me. Does she want one of her own? She came home babbling about it and I realized that she was indulged in this baby idea. So, Ayah, what should we do now? Switch on the button and activate it? I think we should. So, lets renew the license a.s.a.p! Hehehehe....
