I've had several questions that we've been getting a lot of from both our real life friends and family as well as my loyal blog followers. So, I thought I'd answer a couple of them.
1.) We are about 90% certain that we are going Team Green again. It just feels right for us. I'm not one for surprises in any other circumstance and I go crazy waiting to know what my friends are having. But, I LOVED Paisley being a mystery and the absolute breath-taking moment when they announced that she was a GIRL. I am also 100% happy with either another little girl or a boy. Honestly. Plus, not knowing makes our family crazy and that's just kinda funny.
2.) We didn't exactly TRY for this baby but we certainly weren't trying to avoid having another one. I never went back on birth control after Paisley and hoped that this would happen, but really didn't expect it. While nursing, I had no periods and then they were erratic. The last one before I got pregnant was the first normal one. I had made an appointment to see our infertility doc again but that was when Aaron was hospitalized so we didn't exactly make it. And then I was too afraid to reschedule because I just knew that he would tell me that I was no longer fertile.
3.) We are finished after this little one. For sure. I really only knew that I wanted one baby, but I feel like I can definitely manage 2. Three kids makes me feel ill and panicky. I give so much credit to the mamas who raise 3+ kiddos. It takes a strong woman.
Anyways, I'm off to wrestle my little night owl down for the evening. Still not quite sure how you take care of two kids. :)

You'll do great with two!!!!!!
ReplyDeletebut i am with you, 3 is terrifying!!!
Yeah, outnumbered by three :) But of course still a blessing. Love the new ticker :) Ohhh man, I have to wait for names and gender?? Fineeeeee :) hahahaha
ReplyDeleteI thought we discussed you finding out this time? Don't you know you have to listen to what I say? haha totally kidding. If I had it in me I would love to be able to wait to find out. But I would be the one peeking at the ultrasound when they said to turn away. You will do great with a 2nd. It's one of those things at the end of every day you don't know how you did it, but you just did. You'll rock!
ReplyDeleteI dunno you sure you don't want 7 kids? :) You never know what you can handle til you try. haha.
ReplyDeleteCongratuations!! I had not checked in with your blog in a while, so happy for you and Aaron!!
ReplyDeletelol, I agree with you about the 3 kids. As much as I can't fathom not having another little baby, I also can't imagine trying to have 3. Let me just tell you - having a second does not just double the work...it increases exponentially. It's insane. Of course, mine were REALLY close together so my experience is a little crazier than most. And yay for a surprise! I couldn't do it - I think because I knew I wanted a girl with Addy SO bad and if I was going to have a boy, I wanted time to really get used to the idea and let go of my dream of a girl. And if it was a girl, I wanted to know because...yippee! lol!
ReplyDeletecongratulations!
