Rick and I have been discussing when we'd like to have our next child. Since we're already in our thirties, time isn't on our side. We always said we'd like a boy and a girl, and no getting pregnant after 35 due to the health risks. Ideally our second would be a girl, but if that doesn't happen, we would consider adopting a girl later on. Ironically, the Parenting magazine that just came in the mail has an article about spacing your babies. It weighs out all the pros and cons of different spacing. Rick and I have both read the article. It reinforced what we were already thinking. We'll probably go ahead and try for our second sooner than later. It would be nice to be done with diapers before we're 35 too! Some people will think we're crazy, but I don't think having two under two would kill us. We'd rather be younger parents and be able to keep up and have healthy pregnancies, than to wait too long. Plus, Ben is so perfect, that who could resist the temptation of having another perfect bundle of joy!?!
Ah, that's a good picture! Of course, if he sees it once he's older, he's going to say "Mom, why'd you post a picture of me wearing a DRESS ?!!!" Grampa Jim would have loved it! Have a great weekend. We've not doing much; dad just took his little camper over to get new tires on it as he'll be off to the "Bow Festival" next weekend. A week of bachelourette-ness for me and Rach. Oh, yeah, Jim'll probably still be around.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, I have quite a few friends with close kidos. Although two in diapers at once never appealed to me....I love the photo of Benjamin, gowns were always my favorite
ReplyDeleteI always loved gowns too. And cute announcement by the way!
