I am so incredibly thankful to Matt that he works to support us, so I can stay home and raise this little boy. Even the thought of not spending all of my days with him (minus those six hours a week that I'm in class) is upsetting. Sometimes, it baffles me that parents can put their children in daycare after that initial maternity/paternity leave. It must be so hard at first, so heartbreaking.
So, what's going on over here? Let's see...
- Mathias has finally gotten that third tooth in.
- HE IS MOBILE! Not crawling, but rolling and scooting and pushing around his walker.
- I'm finally no longer a teenager. Seriously, I've been 19 this whole time? Whaaaat?
When are my husband and I going to have more children?
Now, I understand this question is asked with good intentions and a healthy curiosity. I would love to give you all a definite answer, but that it between me and my husband. When we choose to try for another baby, it's not exactly going to be advertised all over Facebook and all that good stuff. There are many uncertainties about baby-making. What if it takes much longer than expected? If we have difficulties? If there are losses? It's not something we would want everyone to know, to talk about, to ask us about. And also keep in mind that Mathias is still just a baby. I want to soak in every baby-moment with him, appreciate them before they're gone. So, when Matt and I decide to have another child, most probably won't know until that child already exists--until I'm past that first 12 week period of uncertainty. The information of when we decide to start trying and when we're successful won't be withheld out of spite or with bad intent; it'll be to protect our family and our privacy, should anything... unexpected occur.
Wow, he's suddenly looking like a big kid!!! He is so precious. :)
ReplyDeleteThinking about a second child gives me a bit of a panic attack at this point in time! I know it's a natural question for people to think of once you've had one, but it's such a personal decision. There is nooooo rush!
