Thinking

I know that I definitely want more kids, I am just not ready to yet. But some days I am. I wonder when all the thoughts will leave my mind about how bad I felt prego. I loved that I carried my baby for all that time, it is so neat and I can't wait to do that all over. Then I think about being sick and having like the worst acne in the world and I just think, nope not yet. When the heck will the time be right? It's not like if I wait maybe those things wont happen again, who knows, it is such a gamble. Will I be a good mom to Ever when I am sick and puking and wanting to lay around all day? Holy cow, my mind is racing and I just had to vent!
So this makes me sad, reason....... I don't believe it sometimes, I look at my belly now and have a hard time remembering that she was in there and I was stretched to the max. It's so amazing that our bodies do this, I just wish it knew it what was happening and didn't get confused I guess(by trying to make you puke it out).


I sure do crave this though. 5 days old, so new, so mine and so cuddly!!! Oh what to do?

I think, like you said no matter what you will have the down sides of being prego no matter when or what. You just have to be ready to except that. As for when the time is right? If I waited until just the "right time"... I wouldnt have any kids. The "right time" is when you want another one. So sounds to me like your already there. You just gotta buckle your seatbelt and hope for the best!! Good luck!!

Well you have to remember that things might be totally different with the next pregnancy, maybe they wont be but you will never know unless you do it! I was sooooooooo sick with Trey and then still pretty sick with Elle but It didn't last nearly as long. And then you could be like me (hopefully not) and have 2 miscarriages in a row and then wish you would have tried sooner! You just never know ya know??? I think you should just get preggo right now it would be perfect spacing for you kids! I love having Trey and Elle 22 months apart, because now they play together and totally keep each other entertained it's great!

Oh and as far as being a good mom while you are sick trust me it's totally doable I promise! Your feelings will never go away about being sick but one day you just wont care anymore. I would rather be as sick as I was with Trey then go through what I have go through in the past 6 months!!! Just somethin to think about!

oh loved seeing those old prego pictures, you were sure beautiful in them even if you think you were huge, and ugly, you were truely beautiful! and you know you can make some of the cutes kids out there so why not make another adorbale one? I TOTALLY understand the sick thing!! but for some CRAZY reason I want to do it again too! I was sick the WHOLE time, but for some reason I think if I have the motivation to take care of my sweet little son then Ill be able to work through being sick? I may be TOTALLY off on this! loved the post!

You are such a great mom! You need another little one! Yes, the pregnancy is HELL....beyond HELL! But so worth it! And I absolutely agree with Jennine, if you wait for the "right time"...it will never happen. There will always be excuses to wait. Just jump right into it! It is so worth it. It's so hard to imagine loving someone as much as you do Ever, but you will...INSTANTLY!

I know exactly how you feel. I wonder everyday if I should try and never feel ready. My baby will be two next month. My husband and I just decided we might as well because to be honest I don't know that I will ever feel ready. I know that sounds bad but maybe you know what I mean. Once the baby is here I know I will love it but I am definatly dreading the pregnancy stage. I try not to think of that part. Good Luck in your choice!

like everyone has said...is it ever really the right time? its so much fun just being able to spend ALL your time with just one...but i can only imagine it being so great with more.

I have mixed feelings too. I loved having my children further apart because I feel like I can enjoy them each individually and am not trying to rush two children through their stages. I can worry about only one child who gets into everything and not two. However, I do see other children who have another sibling really close in age and they have so much fun playing together, However, they also fight. I figure, I am only 25. I am not in any hurry but I understand your dilemma. I was never sick but just want to be able to enjoy them and not be overwhelmed.

Stacy said...

Its so weird cuz I have been thinking a lot of the same things lately too! But then I think back to those horrible days of constant puking and thinking I was gonna die. And then i decide I am not ready either.

Brianna said...

Yeah...so...good luck with that decision! Hahaha!!

I love the spacing of my two children. My plan was always to have 3 spaced 2 1/2 years apart..
So if I'm sticking to my plan that would mean I have to get pregnant next month! I am in that same "thinking" stage. Let's just take the plunge together!!

Camie said...

Nichole, for I just have to do it. I am never 100% ready. I would have to wait a lifetime if that was what I was waiting for. It always works out. GOod luck!

I agree there never is a "perfect" time to have a baby. If Brody wasn't a "surprise" I probably would only have 2 kids right now, and that makes me so sad. I couldn't possibly imagine not having him. I understand how you feel though about the whole pregnancy sickness thing. I don't get sick like you and I can only imagine how hard it would be to take care of a toddler at the same time. But sounds like you have lots of family there that would be willing to help you on those really bad days. I say just do it! Ever is so damn cute, I can't wait to see the next addition! :)
