Too coincidental
2005-06-10
A few weeks ago, i was babysitting a friend's two kids. I turn around , looking for Wes to help me and he is on the phone with the urologist, giving them all of the insurance information. He didnt make "the " appointment, because he needed his schedule at a glance to know when he would be off work. Well, today, as i was babysitting yet again for another friend , he was on the phone with the urologist once again, this time with his schedule in hand , making "the " consultation. Not that we have anything really against other kids, we just know for a FACT that we are done, and everytime i babysit, it is reinforced. Yep, mine are self sufficient and i always joke that we are in the honeymoon stage. I can LOUNGE at the pool and read a .... gasp... magazine!! i can put them in the tub and they can wash their hair .... get dressed, grab a snack when they are hungry. Now , dont you all get jealous- i once had two wee ones... and it was HARD when they were so little , a different hard than now, but the hard "now" i am able to handle a LOT better than the hard baby/toddler stage. They have their days and i have my moments for sure, but oh no would i go back (not my chosing at least) .
This girl at church was chasing her one year old while a few of us hung out and talked, and i asked her did they want any more... and she replied, " Oh , i have the normal , womanly urges , like we all get (as i spit out my drink) ". What is wrong with me? i must not be "normal" cause i am DONE> my mom keeps telling me to "HUSH up!!! wait until wes gets his appt before you say that!!"
It all reminds me of a good friend of mine who is due any day now ... She is 36. They really wanted a boy, have two girls already who are 6 and 8. Now here they go starting over again, and she teases about it a lot, but of course they are overjoyed !! Me too, cause i can give her baby BACK!! lol j/k/ But she sent us a thank you note today in the mail and she had a last word
P.S. promise not to ditch us when we have our "wahhhh " baby. HA.
Anyway, my point of this whole email is that Wes is going to the urologist and i am thrilled.

Sounds good. I am sooo right there with you. I have always, and will always love my children, but the older they get the more I like them.

I have one easy child and one hard one (of course we are not talking behavior here)
I feel the same way Gina, I am completely satisfied with my two boys. Before I would look at a pregnant person or baby with a bit of sadness, now I amjust happy for them. Having a baby is HARD! This last year has been a shocker for me, it's like you forget. Marcus does everything for himself, I have to do everything for Mason, the part that bugs me the most is the car seat!! LOL I don't know why but I can't wait till he can buckle himself up. But I do love the snuggles you only can get from a baby, and also the fact that he doesn't talk back. But he is starting to throw fits so the baby stage never lasts long. Anyway, congrats to you guys. My friend says "we killed our stork!"

Yeah, the more self-sufficient TJ gets, the more I'm dreading starting all over again. When I fed the little baby yesterday, I was like, "IGH! All I have to do is hand TJ the plate, and he's off." He still needs lots of help, too. Of course, in order to get to where you are, I must go through where I am. Sooo, one day I can be where you are, just loving watching others get prego. Oh, and let me know how Wesley's stuff goes, b/c you know Trey is next in line. His boss the other day even told him it's his job to get cut, not mine! The man's gotta do what the boss man says, right?

Oh man, I am thinking about having one more but my husband says we are done.
Ethan is such a good baby and I have such a great husband who shares all the work with me. If he didn't I would probably only have the one child.
Mario is such a big help and I can see us having one more. I just can't get it in my head that we are done. I am only 29 and I feel like I should have one more.
Mackenzie so wants a sister and I would love to give her that.
As Ethan gets older and starts doing new things I start to get sad because I think this maybe it and I wouldn't get to enjoy this anymore.
If Mario said to me that he wanted one more, I WOULD have one more.
In fact talking about this now really makes me want one more!!

Christi, by the time Gina and I have teenagers we'll probably be looking at you with envy!

Gina....I thought I was done with Erin, but alas God had other plans for it. Even using birth control faithfully....along came Claire. And I wouldn't change it for the world. Just saying.....you never know! :)

Julia, I'm not THAT far behind you!
Curly, aren't we still questioning whether or not this "sickness" is, well, you know?

We killed our stork, I love that! I may have to borrow it please as we too have had the hubby snipped.
It's such a weight off your mind to not have to worry about that side of things anymore.

No Christi, I'm not pregnant as we speak. I think Mario would have a cow!!

"We killed our stork" how funny!
I see people at work being pregnant, and sometimes I wish I had one more. I wonder how different it would be? I was miserable, and fighting with Jennika's Dad my whole pregnancy. Now I would have a loving husband, and someone to share it with. However, I can clear my mind of that really quick. I see people coming into work exhausted from being up a dozen times a night with a newborn. We have it made right now. An 11 & 9 year old - girl/boy!
Good luck to Wesley! Sounds gross, but I watched Tom's whole procedure to make sure I saw the snip, snip! hee,hee!!! Its not that bad, he will do fine! Let us know when he goes.
