Well if you ask my husband he will say NO for sure, but my body is finally ready to try again! After an absence of 23 months (besides when Brandon was born) AF finally reared her ugly head once again....with perfect timing...NOT!
Here I am at my Mom's house...who is going through the change...so I am left with 1 pad that has been swimming in the bottom of my diaper bag since Brandon was born. Yeah... that is 13 months of sitting at the bottom of my diaper bag...somehow I am not surprised that when I opened it....goldfish crumbs came flying out. GROSS, but it was my only option! Don't worry, as I write this I have been saved...box of tampons in hand ::bigsigh::
So who knows what the future brings on this topic.....but...we're ready....

Babies Should Come With a Boob Job
This post will have no pictures!
After spending much of this morning at Victorias Secret trying on Bras, I decided that babies should come with a free boob job at the doctor of your choice. Brandon is almost 13 months old and has almost completely weaned himself. I actually try to offer it to him and he doesn't even really want it anymore. He is nursing once, maybe twice in a 24 hours period. I am pretty sad to see and end to it, but it is inevitable. I am glad I was able to do it for 13 months......ie: looking for a nice new, supportive, pushup bra.
With that said, I have nursed 2 babies for a total of 27 months in the past 3 years. My boobs have gone from a 34C to a 36DDD to a 34C to a 36DDD and back to a 34C in the past three years. They look like they have been on their own episode of the biggest loser. I was somewhat prepared for what was so come, but come on, I am only 27yrs old! I never though I would ever need a pushup bra. I Have always been bigger in the bust, but they never needed to be push up by any means....Uggg..
I have officially decided that if you have babies and you nurse them, you should be entitled to a boob job if you want one....no judgements...

Done?
How do you know when your family is complete? This is a topic that I have been having a really hard time with lately. Do you every really know when you are "ready" to be done having kids?? I just can't seem to get over this topic. I want it both. I want more kids, and I want a time for just Eric and I. I want to go away, on a cruise, somewhere warm, just the two of us, but I want another child at the same time. Why can't I have it both?? Will the feeling of wanting another child every go away? If I were to have a third, would I be at peace with a third, would I want a forth? It is so hard. I know I should count my blessings and I am thankful for everything that I have, a wonderful husband, a beautiful daughter and an amazing son....but I just can't get over the thought of being done. It is so final. I know I don't need to decide now, but if we are done...I need to go back on the pill and if not, then nothing, so in some sense there needs to be some sort of decision.
I can't imagine being done. I didn't mentally prepare myself with Brandon that he was going to be my last pregnancy, my last kick, my last craving, my last delivery, my last newborn. But again, I have one girl, one boy....the perfect American family...why would I want more?? This is obviously not something that I am going to come to a conclusion on this very night, but is something that I have been struggling with the past few weeks. I wish it was as easy as "we are done" or "we are not done". I want it both, I want it all. I wish it was easier.....

Balding Already?
The intent of this blog was to write nothing but stuff about my kids so they could look back on it and read it, but as I go through the day, there are so many other things besides, milestones, bad nights, teeth, holidays and so forth that I want to write about. Some are just about being a mom so I think I am going to start bloggin about those to, and I am just going to label them motherhood.
So here goes...
When you are pregnant, one of the changes is that you really don't lose and hair. Your nails are all nice and all that fun stuff, but after the baby is born and your hormones change, and you lose all that hair that you should have the past nine months. In my case it is handfulls upon handfulls of hair at a time in the shower. We even have a broken snake to show for it. It comes out so much in the shower that as I am washing my hair, I put the handfulls on the side of the tub to minimize what makes it to the drain. Pretty GROSS....not to mention it looks like a dead mouse in the trash can.
It happened with the first pregnancy, but with Brandon is was WAY worse. I looked like I was having a female balding issue...seriously. My hairline up until a a few months ago, looked a lot like Brandons current hairline....slowly receeding on both sides of my forehead.
I am glad to say that it is all grown back like normal, which I am happy about, but it is incredibly annoying to try to wear my hair back in a pony tail. I look like i have 2 poofy horns sticking out on each side of my head! It is all whispy and just plain ANNOYING. The only way I can hide it is with a headband, or by wearing my sunglasses on my head all the time including indoors and when it is not sunny..... It is totally worth it...duh... but it is so freaking annoying. I'll be glad when that is back to normal....
I don't have a lot of pictures because of how much I can't stand it, but here is the best shot I have. I have none of the "horns", but maybe I will take one just to upload it.
Receding hairline at 10 months:
Check out my hairline...you can see my scalp back so far....just like my little man...
(This picture still doesn't do it justice, but you can get the idea):
I went searching for recent pictures of me and since this is a side shot, it doesn't do it justice, but you can get the idea. I need to take one straight on...The fuzziness growing on my head:
