Well, I made it about a month

So, I still mentioned it. It would still come up. But there was a time for about a month where I told Jameson I was finally over being "baby hungry". Well, okay... the morning of Chloe's one year appointment at the doctor office I was happily thinking about thinking about the next one, until the doctor opened his mouth. Suddenly I felt very inadequate. But I digress.

I went to a knitting group about a month ago and stuff they said just pushed the thought of baby #2 out of my mind. I started working harder to enjoy now and Chloe and every day with her instead of enjoying it while thinking about the future. With all this grad school drama we've really been focusing on enjoying the here and now so this really got magnified in regards to Chloe.

But last week I opened my orange suit case looking for some dress pants and I found all my pregnancy clothes. And I started to miss them! My favorite shirts that I bought for $3 each at the Gap. Oh man... I miss them. You cant see the green one really well, but if you could, you'd miss it too. And the grey/blue one I think I wore at least 3 times a week. It was just fun to wear and show my pregnant tummy :)

I'll keep this about the clothes. But know that sifting through old baby pictures, seeing my sister-in-law going through all this fun, a new baby girl being born in our ward, talking with Jameson about how grown up Chloe is getting, friends getting pregnant with #2, etc have all contributed to the fact that I am once again thinking about this on a daily basis. I cant help it. And no, this is not a secret way of saying we're getting pregnant. We've got some time yet.

My hunger games are about babies. C'est la vie.

  2. Oh Becky, you guys are doing great! Whatever you decide (and whenever you decide) is perfect! Life, and all the emotions that go along with it, is just the weirdest thing, right?

    Oh, PS how cute is the picture with the cars on your tummy? Love it!

  3. A wise couple to enjoy the moment and let Chloe enjoy being a only child as long as she can!

  4. Once you decide to start trying for #2, at that time of the month, you will be on vacation with family sleeping in your room, or moving, or one of you will be out of town. It's one of Murphy's Laws. Trust me.
