Another baby?!

Its funny... When you're first married, the question from people is, "oooh, so when are you going to have a baby?" or... "so, are there any babies in the future?!?!"

Now that we have a baby, the question is, "when's the next one?!?!" or actually, it's not even really a question for some people, it's, "ooooh, she's a year now... time for the next one!"

Says who?!?!

I just got to the point where I like this gig... and now you want me to change it up!?!

She's finally happy more than 50% of the time... do I really want to go changing that... And change it would!!

Maddie is a funny baby. She knows exactly what she wants and is pretty persistent in getting it. We really try hard not to give in... I do not want to be a mother that just tries to avoid a fight in public, so I give in. I do not do that. I give time-outs in the middle of a store, certainly say no to her when needed... but she's a handful. Especially now, being close to the tantrum peak and terrible twos, she's testing her limits.
I want to be able to enjoy her fully and not have to focus on being pregnant again and all that comes with that.

The tough part is that I don't want my kids to be too far apart in age... so there's a tricky situation I've gotten myself into!

So when you say to me, "oooh time for another!" I say to you... "mind your business, I'm happy with just one for now!" Ok, well I don't say that to you, I politely laugh and say, "oh, I don't know!" But I really want to say, "you worry about your life and I'll worry about mine!"


For now, she's only 18 months and I'll let myself enjoy her until God decides we're ready for another!
