Well, we’re no longer trying. We’re arrived.
I am still in a sort of state of disbelief, though with the appetite I have it’s pretty obvious.
I don’t remember being sooo hungry with the other two right at the begining.
This one is different already I think. My body feels a little less in shape but a lot more healthy. I eat healthier now and get more sleep than I used to also.
We went out and looked at some names and are trying to get used to the idea of one more. I don’t know when to really tell the kiddos yet. I guess when I start having some morning sickness something will need to be said so they don’t think I am sick or something. I don’t have any real symptoms yet except the appetite thing. Hoping it takes awhile before that stuff kicks in.

Why does it always seem like the good goes with some bad? This has been the toughest month since we started our businesses. Slow slow and slow. Makes me feel nervous.. Trust the Universe, Trust the Universe, Trust the Universe! Everything will work out the way it should I need to Trust the Universe.

And then, when do we tell our friends that we’re expecting? Hmmmm I’ve already told a couple people that I know will be supportive. I am holding off on any naysayers.

We are the most fertile couple I know. Now, I gotta stop drinkin’ the coffee again.
I’m a little freaked out, but happy.
Mother’s Day was good. I tested and found out I’m pregnant, and had my own mom in town visiting. She is happy for me.

Those darn pee on a stick tests. They say you can test 4 days before…but then I think that’s to get your money. I stood there straining to determine if I could see the faintest of lines… Is it a line? Is it white? Would it show if I was pregnant yet? or not? Now, I have to wait a couple days like I should have anyway. Those pee on a stick tests are too expensive for me to try again tomorrow. Aunt Flo isn’t even due till the 15th.
So I have to wait to see whether or not we’re preggers yet. I have a feeling we will be; we’re the most fertile couple there is.
I think I am trying more and more to find ways to be ‘wild’ in my new SAHM life. Wild isn’t the same thing it used to be. For instance, I had to get my annual exam and later that day we had sex in the art studio. I can’t say those two things ever happened in the same day before. Either I’m a lot less uptight about those exams or even a little attn. down there is a good thing after a couple kiddos. Ack.

I want to do a silly series of faux self portraits… making fun of myself in my life as a stay at home mom.
I will be an artist again… just not sure when. Right now all my creative energy goes into being a mom. Up until Jan 07, I used to say it came out in my breast milk. I’m feeling the creative juices flowing again now. We’ll see what manifests. Then, when we do conceive #3, I’m sure it will all go to that kiddo until the time it comes back to me again.
Some of this is why I’m on the fence. I do want another kid. It’s just I like that I have some of “me” back right now.
Well, we are actively trying so I guess I’ve put it all in the hands of the universe.

ttc1.jpgAlright, here goes.
I think I want another kid.
I’m not sure.
We like the ones we have so far…so it stands to reason that we’d like the next one just as much.
I think there needs to be a book out there called, So you think you want to have a kid?
It would have a quiz that you answer telling you whether or not you should or if you should just wait it out for a couple months and re-quiz.

Theoretically, we want one. Realistically, we need to get some other projects going first, like our two businesses, our half remodelled house…savings account etc.
It’s almost like I’m procrastinating on the business with this kid idea.

Since we are already trying, I guess we have made up our minds :) It sure is fun trying too!
I want another one, what else can I say?
