doing: looking for something to make for dinner. nnneeww recipe time!!!
listening to: that stupid popper toy that Ethan is pushing around, the Food Network and parts of The Lion King.
feeling: like crap!!! i've been sick since Thursday and its getting OLD!
as you know we've started to babysit for Brigettes daughter Reese. five days a week from 3:30ish to midnight. Brigette works the night shift at 3M. Reese is about 4 months older than Ethan but they have the same thought roller coaster going on. its always "MY" toy and if they want it they'll take it! so we're, of course, working extra hard on the whole "sharing" thing.
naturally its hard! anything to do with two toddlers is hard! and it also makes me have a new appreciation for my babysitters!! because i have two and i go crazy, but they have 5 or 6 and make it through 8-10 hours a day 5 days a week!!
i just picked up my house and once Reese walks in its like they go into super destructive toddler mode. they are at each other constantly and do things that they normally wouldn't do if they were alone..... because they KNOW its naughty!!
matt and i have been talking for quite awhile about starting to try again, but we're both a little unsure about when we want to start. my boss gave me a 3 month window... and thats long gone! of course i'd like to be able to plan the perfect time to have another baby, when work isnt busy and when we dont have a million things going on at home... but you can't. so i just don't think we're going to worry about it! i would, however, not really mind having our second around a month or so of when we had Ethan.... cause then-if its a boy- he'll fit Ethans old clothes!!! sneaky!! :)
either way, i'm ready. if it were to happen anytime, unplanned, i'd be okay. but we are trying to have some sort of a plan! we'll see! i'm just ready for another itty bitty! i love the clothes, the blankies, the bottles, the baths, even the car seat! i just loves babies! my worry now is what am i going to do once the second one is grown up! i'm not having another one!! uhm... friends... that means YOU will have to have babies so i can get all that out of my system! ( i buy good presents/clothes too!! )
now i think i have to make a shopping list, once the guys get here i have to run to the store so we can eat dinner!

Tracy... remember, waiting a little bit isn't so bad :P I don't know if you're on birth control or not, but you could always sort of let it happen. Don't try, but don't prevent... Just cause you've been pregnant before doesn't mean you'll have an easy or difficult time the second time around :) Anyway, good luck with whatever you figure out!
thanks Shan! yeah i know, i'm not going to try to push anything. i'm not quite ready at this second, but i've got baby fever and its always on my mind!! haha!
