Mobile: looking at newborn pictures of J...

Makes me really want to have another squishy baby to cuddle. Argh, we are not ready- I need to finish my Masters, I'm creating a new 2 year course for my dept. at school (I couldn't imagine turning that over to a sub, even for just a few months), DH still hasn't forgotten the sleepless nights...

Okay, done whining, just jealous of all you pregnant ladies, with your cute bumps.

I definitely admire you wanting to get your Masters. I'd do anything to go back to school. That was actually my plan right about now. But since God has other plans, I'm following his course for me right now. Boo.

As for looking at baby pictures, I cry every time I look at M's. They are little "humans" now. Learning so much! It's crazy.

Baby fever just hit me like a ton of bricks! I was sitting here thinking about the holidays, and wham! It happened.

We are sooo not ready financially, etc. but emotionally, I'm ready!!!

I actually started it while pregnant because, you know, it's not like a baby takes up extra time or anything. I ended up taking a couple semesters off because I couldn't deal with it on top of work and J. I'm back at it though and really want to get through it before we start again.

Good luck to you- hopefully things calm down enough that you can start school back up!

Trade anyone.

Save this post for a few years when I'm complaining about chasing J around while pregnant and uncomfortable. Right now I have rainbows and puppies dancing through my head.

Aww I thought I would open this post and see newborn pictures of J! I was so excited!! I would probably decorate my room with al of Bo's 5,000 newborn pictures. I was looking at them the other day and told my H "we had like a real baby-baby! Why didn't anyone tell me?" Haha! I KNOW I took in every.single. sweet moment but I also Know I got caught up in maintaining all of his daily needs that I maybe did not relax enough and really "be" with just my baby....I know I had these perfect moments, but did I have enough of them and really appreciate them? I am having a really hard time letting go of Bo baby...I will miss him Sad

Sooo about two weeks ago I had a strong feeling in church that our family was not complete...I leaned over and told my H that as soon as we have our house figured out I want to give my H the ride of his life ( I had to make this sound like a good idea) and make another baby...POINT BLANK! my H looked and me and said "Ummmm No--that is not our plan"! haha... so I got shut down. I toggle with One and done or is this the final picture of our family? Hmmmmm.?

I love that you are in a puppies and rainbow baby cognitive process!! What a sweet sweet place to be!

I guess I am the only one that doesn't have baby fever yet.

The newborn stage was not fun at all for us. DS couldn't latch on and I ended up pumping for couple of months. Since he was in the NICU he had a home health nurse come to see him once a week for 2 months. DH traveled a lot and I had a major post partum depression, basically crying all the time for no apparent reason. I really did not enjoy the newborn stage at all. Looking back at it now, I was so lost being home w/ a baby by myself. Things got much better when I went back to work.

Hopefully I don't get flamed for this.

Anyone who flames you for this deserves a swift kick in the arse. (can we say *ass* on the bump?) The newborn stage is HARD. The hardest thing I've ever done, and honestly the biggest thing holding me back from saying yes I want a third.

This is me! I want another one. Even more if is a girl but right now financialy is too difficult and I want to start with my studies again. Besides since H and I didn't had that much time to enjoy "us" time now is when we are doing it... oh and I'm slim too hahahahahaha Maybe if I'm still studying but financially everything is better I don't mind at all doing it again... my problem is I want to do it before I'm 30 and next Monday I turn 27 hahahaha a lot to accomplish in 3 years :P

Thank you! That's exactly what's holding me back from having a second child. I had a really really bad experience w/ labor/delivery & the newborn stage. Not to mention PPD.

I agree- I sincerely doubt anyone would flame you. The newborn stage can definitely suck most of the time. Throw PPD and a traveling husband on top of it, it's no wonder you aren't chomping at the bit to have another one.

I have the worst case of baby fever right now ... Anytime I look at baby pictures I get the urge to have another.

And Panda, maybe the newborn stage won't be so bad this time around. I know I was dreading it while pregnant with Halle as well (I find newborns really difficult) and it wasn't quite as bad as I remembered. I think a lot of it is just being busy, but I was pleasantly surprised. I just popped her in the carrier and let her sleep while I guzzled monstrous amounts of caffeine those first few weeks.

HDBD will be toddlers and bumps and babies soon! Oh my!

Yes! I wanted to say something like this as well. I think (hope) you'll find the newborn stage to not be so bad the second time around. For one, you'll be expecting it! Second, you already lived through it so you know you can do it and you know it all turns out ok in the end. Third, you have another babe to distract you. And you can remind yourself they grow up so fast, this doesn't last long in the grand scheme of things, you'll cherish the quiet times more, etc.

Baby #4 was my most colicky of all. (my boys were all screamers, for 4 months each) Somehow, I managed to, most of the time, will myself to NOT get upset by the crying. I just tried to focus on the other children in front of me, the ones who use words I knew he wouldn't cry to death, so I let him be...and he cried alone, safely, a lot of the time. And he's the happiest baby ever now, so my theory is he cried all of his lifetime allowance of crying. Then he ran out. haha.

I can't believe O is no where near that little baby he was a year ago. And I am still dealing with sleepless nights. I bet as soon as he STTN I will have #2 to keep me up!

I know I've asked this before, but I couldn't remember which post it was on, so I couldn't find the answer, lol. What does HDBD stand for?
