Baby Talk :: On Number 2

Ya know when you're dating someone and everyone bugs you about when you'll get engaged?

Then you finally do get engaged and get married and then IMMEDIATELY everyone starts bugging you about when you'll have a baby?

Well, interestingly enough, IMMEDIATELY after having your baby people will start to ask you when you plan on having a second baby....

So, today's Baby Talk will be all about Baby #2.

I'm pregnant!

JUST KIDDING!
{mom did you just $h*t yourself?}

I've always wanted a big family and have said that I'd love to have 4 kids. When I daydreamed about my family when I was younger I wanted a boy, twin girls and then another boy. Obviously, I have NO control over this. But it's what I said I wanted.

And now I have my Kenny. 

My whole idea of what I wanted definitely changed once I had my baby girl. Obviously, the boy first thing isn't happening which I am totally fine with (clearly). But beyond that....TWINS? Oh man! I have so much respect for mamas of multiples. I literally have NO idea how you do it! We have a hard enough time with our one little bundle of joy, I just can't wrap my head around double the diapers, double the feedings, twice the spit up, twice the gear. It blows my mind. Again, I can't control this....if it's God plan to give me twins, then I will be thrilled and terrified and will deal with it. But let's just say it's no longer my dream to have twins.

I also don't know if I still want four kids. I can't say for sure. I love the idea of a big family, but the time and devotion it takes for this one little miracle makes me think two kiddos might just be the perfect number for us. I will say, I can TOTALLY understand why people keep popping out kids. Once you get past and forget about the childbirth & recovery period and you have this gorgeous little human looking you....
it could get addicting.

So what is my dream now? Well, I definitely want to have at least one more baby if I am blessed enough to do so. Most of you know that I wasn't sure whether or not I would be able to get pregnant because of endometriosis. I am so thankful to have my baby girl and count my blessings every day. I don't want to assume that I am home free and wont' have problems with future kids, but I'm hopeful!

Jason and I both want a son, very badly. So I know that if I am able to have another baby and it's another beautiful little girl then I will undoubtedly be trying for a third or fourth or fifth or sixth....but I think six daughters is where I draw the line (that's a joke...the line would be drawn well before 6).

In terms of timing...I'm not planning that right now. What I am planning is time to enjoy my daughter. I don't want to miss a single second of this precious time in her life, so my mind is with her, not planning for another baby. I know for sure we'll wait a couple of years and maybe then start talking about the right timing for our family.

So there ya go...there's your answer! Yes more kids are in our future and no we don't know when that will be but it won't be any time soon!

What about you mamas...how many kids do you want to have? When do you want to have them?

AND, don't you dare forget to link-up every Tuesday!
