On the bright side

So, things are going.  I'm having moments of freakoutdom but I think that's normal, at least that's what I'm telling myself. 

My next appointment is the 14th and I'm excited to hear the heartbeat. That's always the point that I feel like I can breathe a little better as far as the health of the baby.  We've decided my car WILL work, at least for now, which was a sigh of relief since we are paying it off soon!  I keep nit-picking at tiny things but I think its just my way of dealing with stuff.  I feel bad that I seem so negative about this pregnancy.  It's really not like that, at least not completely. 

Good things about having another baby

I get to breastfeed again! While its two sided because lets face it, you are tied to the baby for 1-2 years, its also a time you never get back and a time that you really grow close to your little one.

Owen gets to be a big brother! He's really excited about that :)  Landen will be a great teacher and show him the best ways of antagonizing little brothers or sisters.

Patrick and I make really pretty babies.  I'm not being conceited, just honest ;)

I get to buy cloth again.  There will be a fluffy booty around my house again!

I always love seeing Patrick with our babies.  Something about a baby that makes him a little softer and sweeter. 

I will get to experience and share that one of a kind love again.  The kind that you only have for your kiddos. 

Baby snuggles <3

Babies smell so good...most of the time!

My boys will have another sibling.  When I'm old they will have one more person to try and pawn me off on.  One more person to tell stories with about how crazy their mom was...and hopefully how much she loved them.


There are a lot more reasons but those are my today reasons.  I'm also super excited that one of my best friends has decided to have another baby.  It'll be so awesome!  She's an awesome mom and it really would be a shame if she didn't have more! 
We still haven't a clue or a "feeling" of the gender.  For some reason its not bothering me near as much this time as with Owen.  I guess I figure I have no control over it anyways!(not that I would want to)  We haven't talked about names yet either but its still very early.  I did pick out a carseat though.
