Please tell me i am not the only one...

I have been thinking a lot about babies lately. I have been watching The Baby Story on TLC, and i have been thinking about the idea of having another one, BUT BUT BUT when i think of the REALITY of it ALL and try to get the "ohhhh what a cute baby" out of my head, when i think about the torture of being pregnant, i then realize that there is NO WAY in heck i want another one for quite some time. Tell me i am not weird. It seems like i hit a point to where I naturally get this baby urge, but it doesn't mean that I WANT to have another one yet. It is so weird to me b/c my body is getting this urge, but my heart and mind are telling me NO WAY. My husband thinks i am getting this weird urge b/c i see a lot of girls at church who are pregnant. I SERIOUSLY don't want another one yet, so why am i getting a baby urge?! It is so annoying. Can anyone relate?!

Okay, Ash...last time you got like this, you got pregnant with Tanner!!!! I am guessing I will get a call in a few months..."Oh, we're pregnant!" :) haha. Just giving you a hard time!

You want to get pregnant for us?!?! I get the baby urge and then it takes us years! UHH!

You guys make adorable babies, so the more the merrier! Love you!

Kevin and I have talked about when we want another one. It took so long with Hannah. But, the thought of getting pregnant any time soon (which we aren't!!!) makes me sick! I'm not ready for it at all. having kids is a lot of work and a lot fun. I want more time with Hannah alone. So, we are going to wait. Which is good!!!!

What does your husband think?

Well, like i said...i don't want to get pregnant, but it is weird b/c i have this urge. It comes and goes though. We both don't want another one for maybe another 2 years. :) Yes, Lauri you are right, but this time it is different! :) I would get pregnant for you if i LIKED being pregnant! But seeing that i am not going to have as many kids as I want b/c being pregnant is too hard then i probably couldn't do it...I would do it for you in a heart beat though if i could! :)

I know! Your pregnancies have been rough!!! If I could get pregnant easier, I'd have babies for you! That'd work out! I didn't mind being pregnant and it was pretty un-eventful!! Too bad we can't just work out it on our own, huh!?! :)

That is so weird cause my sister and I have been talking about it lately. And then the other night I told my husband I want a baby girl next time but I know when I think about it I will in must likelyhood have another boy (which is ok)..I guess you can relate we are the dimonds in the ruff at our house's. But the actual thought of pregnancy UUHHH I JUST THREW UP IN MY THROAT!!!! I agree with your husband a lot of people at church r having babies and r pregnant but my saying woulf have to be "More Power To Them"

my sister said something that meant a lot to me, b/c we're in the same boat as you...waiting b/c we feel we should, but still loving all the little babies around me. I mentioned that I don't know if I'll be able to say, "ok, all done having kids" b/c I just love little babies and all that. And she said that just because you decide you're finished having kids (or waiting) doesn't mean you'll stop feeling that way. And then I felt fine about having those feelings without feeling guilty that I'm not pregnant! So...long story short...you're not alone!

I love being pregnant, so I don't really relate in that way. It is really hard for me because I have to take shots every day and I have to be careful not to make myself bleed (ie. cutting anything), but I think it is awesome that we get to carry a little infant and have that awesome bond with them. However, I totally understand what you are saying about having the "urge" but not being ready. I think Shane's idea is a good one. I think we see other women pregnant or with new babies and it makes you want to be there again. Yes, labor is hard, yes, having a newborn is hard, but man--look at your little ones, they are SOOOOO worth it! :) Let me know when you are due! :)ACE p.s. eventually we realize that having the perfect stomach is out of the question, so what does one more baby hurt?!
