I’ve written about this before, but let me just go ahead and say that Baby Itch 2009/2010 has officially started.
So in the last five to six months alone I’ve heard of 7 pregnancy announcements, 2 birth announcements, and seen about 3 preggo bellies on a regular basis.
There is something in the water or air and needless to say, baby season is back!
And the sprouts of bellies and babies are doing horror to my rationality about having another one.
The huz and I would definitely like indulge in more diapers, teeny tiny clothes, sleepless nights, and new baby bliss, but can’t really jump on the band wagon right now. Besides my husband grew up as the only child and in his words “can’t do that to Aiman” so at least one more is in our plans for the future, but when is the problem.
We’re thinking that sometime around Aiman’s second birthday would be perfect, but mama doesn’t know if she can hold out for that long.
My uterus is-a-itchin’ for another.
Vacant womb looking for resident!
But I guess in the meantime, I’m going to try to keep my insanity to a minimum and stay away from the baby section in stores. And leave my pregnant friends alone; try not to live vicariously through them. Maybe lock myself up in a room full of screaming infants/toddlers and try to remember that I love not waking up every two hours for a feeding.
But I do love all of that stuff!
The next few months are going to be interesting.

I wrote that last week when I was crazier than normal. Rereading that now makes me say “Whaaaaaat? NO WAY!”
Somehow the itch has been relieved and I am no longer baby hunting, which is a good thing at this point in time for us.
The overbearing realization of what’s to come for our little family has plenty to do with it, most notably regarding my completing of undergrad and ___ ? What would be next after that is still a huge question mark floating around.
So until I have something to fill in the blank for, my uterus is putting down its vacancy sign.
The shop is closed for now.
WOW…
My cousin just had twins on Sat, and let me just say they are to die for!!! Identical twin boys, I cant wait to meet them. I love baby pictures so I say: why not NOW!!?
Take a look, soo adorable!!
THEY. ARE. DARLING!
Congrats! =)
Wowohwowohwow. I haven’t even come close to really wanting another yet. I think I’ll always have some form of baby fever, because I think once you have it you have it forever, but we’re definitely (for a whole host of medical related reasons) not having anymore ANYWAY, sooooo…I don’t know. I’m down for adoption, and I know there will probably be quite a few times in my life in the coming years that I’ll be bummed about not having more kids, and I’ll want to, and blah blah blah, but we have good reasons for not doing so, and that’s what I’ll keep in mind.
BUT! I can’t wait until you guys do, and then you have two cuties running around. Ohhh, me.
I remember you writing about why you guys were done with the biological route of having more children, and considering the risks, I can totally understand here you’re coming from.
Adoption is a wonderful option and so so needed!
Week old crazy talk makes for a great blog. I’m going to have to do that. I have a ton of old journals from which I could pull, thousands of stream of consciousness prose rife with insane self reflection. This is going to be fun. Let me know when you post more your crazy material.
