Babies

I have know for a LONG time I have wanted two kids. One boy and One girl... The thing is I think four years is a little to far apart. Some of my friends are having there second child. I know you shouldn't do what everyone else is doing and so on, blah blah blah. The other thing people say are you aren't ready yet... WHEN ARE YOU READY??? No one is really ready when you have a child, you need to expect the unexpected... I have Medicaid right now. They will cover me for a year. If I get pregnant they will extend it to six weeks after the baby is born. I will be fully covered and everything will be taken care of. Bridget is all for it because She thinks it would be better if we where on Medicaid while I had the baby. She also said we are already in baby mode. We don't want to get out of it and have to try to get back in it. The last thing she said was that she is getting older. She said that it a workout keeping up with Trey and she would rather have a baby now while she still has the energy to play with them. I also think it is a good idea that way we can get rid off all the baby stuff at once. Right now we are saving everything for the next baby but if we have the next one now we can have a garage sale next summer or whatever. I am looking forward to having another baby though... I miss how little Trey was and I can't wait to have a little one again. I am hoping for a girl but if I have a boy I have everything for him so I don't care either way.... If I'm not supposed to have another one now god won't let it happen but hopefully he will give me my girl.... He gave me my boy first... I am not looking forward to being sick all the time though...

Okay, so are you pregnant yet, or thinking of trying to get pregnant? I am excited and happy for you, no matter if you choose to have another baby now or four years from now.

P.S. I think that you have secretly been wanting another baby since last year. I just think that you didn't want to tell people that b/c you thought people would think you are crazy. Well...you are crazy. But not because of that :) I think that having babies spaced together is hard - at first. But it gets a lot easier. You just have to get into a routine. And you have lots of support from Brad and his parents, so you would be well set. Chiara was only eight months old when I got pregnant with Zeke. Those first couple of months after he was born were a bit trying, but not too bad. Zeke was 13 months old when I got pregnant with Isabel. It was a piece of cake when she was born. Zeke paid no attention to her whatsoever. As long as he was taken care of, he did not care at all. I think tha having your kids ages somewhat close together makes it more fun.

P.S.S. I'll let you in on a little secret of my own: if Justin had not lost his job in November, I would have probably been pregnant by now myself. We always wanted four kids with close ages. It makes me a bit sad because now I don't know if that will happen. Only if God decides He wants it that way.

Oh, and I wasn't scheduled twelve hour shifts. (Completely unrelated to the baby subject) I just picked up other people's hours and it happened to fall on two days in a row.
