Baby Hungry

Anderson just turned a year old and man am I baby hungry! My old roommate just had twin boys, (on Anderson's birthday even) one of my old crushes from BYU just added a baby boy to his family the other day, and I just found out one of my best friends is expecting another baby (she will remain anonymous for her sake, I'm one of the first to know!) I get teary eyed just looking at these babies and old pictures of my own. Having a new born is so special. The only problem is that Anderson's birth was so traumatic for me that I actually get nauseous when it comes to the whole idea of giving birth. I know I have tons of time to figure all this out, but I just can't decide needle or natural??? I've done it once, I can do it again, right? While flipping channels the other day I caught the ending of A Baby Story. The woman was doing some sort of water birth so I couldn't see anything--the water made it quite fuzzy to even make out the form of the baby being pushed out. The only thing I actually saw was them pulling the baby out of the water to rest on his mommy. And I literally almost threw right up. They say you forget the pain, but I haven't! Clearly I am not ready to have another one. Birth actually terrifies me now and sends me straight to panic mode, not to mention I have my hands full already with potty training and chasing around my crazy busy crawler. But that doesn't change the fact that I'm baby hungry, very baby hungry!

PS--this is not an announcement at all!!

Come to Utah and I'll lend you my baby! J/K!! I love him to death but would gladly take a break! I had Skylar with a fully functioning epidural and it was heaven. Trevor's didn't work so I understand your fear of delivery. I'm all for needles over natural, but have learned that I need to be prepared for natural if it happens again. Good luck with your decision for baby #3...you're brave to even consider it!

All I have to say is that I dreaded it all until I actually held my third baby and fell instantly in love and regretted waiting for so long for such a sweet thing. The unexpected is such a scary thing, but you can never understimate the power of the love that comes for such a sweet new spirit of a little person. Good luck! And I'll call you in a few weeks to see how things are going! Take care!

That's so funny, becaus I say the same thing about the child birth part. I thought for sure I would be more scared before I had kids since I didn't know what to expect, but I'm definately more scared now that I DO know what to expect! Hence the fact that Jayden's 3 and I'm still not pregnant....I am finally starting to get baby hungry now too, though.

I was so newborn-baby-hungry looking at those pix of Mist's little guys too. I am not scared about delivary, for me it's being prego- sick for 9 mo's is so miserable
