Even though we'...You know we're like twins. Even though we're not really. Reading this entry felt like reading the monologue in my head about the same matter. I feel the baby itch super strong. Tugging at me, and I keep swatting it away! I'd adore another child, if my husband could carry it instead of me. I don't even care so much about the weight gain. It's the vomiting, the pervasive unrelenting nausea, and caring for my special needs girl with a baby. Can be done, just not ready quite yet. I don't have that pressure to have more, culturally speaking, as I live in a place where folks have one or two or at most three and are in their 40s. But I'd love to hold a sweet smelling infant again, that's mine. Maybe we'll get pregnant around the same time?Sarah B Heathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17306280445690493748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1323643995887361497.post-45812783273472284352011-09-18T20:36:56.852-07:002011-09-18T20:36:56.852-07:00Well, I am going to delude myself into thinking th...Well, I am going to delude myself into thinking that my oh-so easy baby will grow into an oh-so easy toddler. Because if she isn't, she might grow up a very lonely only child :)<br /><br />Good luck with the job hunt! I know things will work out for the best in the end.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11414382661594476919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1323643995887361497.post-25069957341734578292011-09-17T15:23:43.135-07:002011-09-17T15:23:43.135-07:00I know the feelings that you described, and I also...I know the feelings that you described, and I also know how quickly feelings can change from panic at the thought of another baby to suddenly being excited at the anticipation of that event. I think that Heavenly Father has a way of letting us know when the time is right if we are just willing to ask for his direction in the matter. We will be praying for good results in the job hunt!lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02962345624688987734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1323643995887361497.post-65401839475768187782011-09-17T14:29:36.334-07:002011-09-17T14:29:36.334-07:00I feel the same pressure you do.

I cannot think of a less welcome question right now!!! I want YOU to have a baby so I can hold her and snuggle her and give her kisses and then hand her back! Babies are so wonderful.<br /><br />But you are most definitely right: having a difficult toddler who was a wonderful baby (Camryn) was INFINITELY easier than a difficult baby who's...well, still a difficult baby (Tamsin)!!!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11200518427119344743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1323643995887361497.post-1240857696735787912011-09-16T18:18:44.197-07:002011-09-16T18:18:44.197-07:00I can't blame you for not wanting to rush into...I can't blame you for not wanting to rush into it.
