Just think that if you'd had a little one this weekend would have been sooooo dramatically different. Babysitters have to be lined up or packing and prepping has to be done to take baby. And while your there plans revolve around baby or what baby is up too back home. Enjoy your non-baby time while you can! You can't get that back!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10231049000884470572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204928643804598043.post-32592309520829439422010-02-09T15:18:56.917-08:002010-02-09T15:18:56.917-08:00We're about to leave on a road trip tomorrow, ...We're about to leave on a road trip tomorrow, four hours. And instead of packing a quick suitcase and beer I have to make a list: diapers, play pen, stroller, medicines for a toddler, special pillow, etc. So much CRAP is involved in going on a trip with a child! I'm glad you realize that your alone time is special and precious because it is! Believe me, I crave alone time and just hubby time these days. Kirk and I waited five years before we had Vivian. I guess we weren't really ready but we both wanted a child at the same time and that was helpful. Bless you for being patient and giving Leland more time. The fact is that you have time. You're both still young. You're both healthy and vibrant people. And you'll be wonderful parents.... someday. If I were you, I'd just journal your feelings month to month until it feels more ready. That will make the journey to motherhood more special and more rewarding when it does actually happen.<br /><br />In the mean time, feel free to come down to Florida and play with Viva the Diva. That may change your mind or seal the deal for you. :-)Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345244543899178740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204928643804598043.post-15293546607129723882010-02-09T14:39:34.527-08:002010-02-09T14:39:34.527-08:00Aw don't be sad.

Phew! You are wise to take care of yourself first and take your time. But don't overthink it too much! MB and I are so regimented I often remark that it is a good thing we just "went for it" because if we gave it too much thought like we do with everything else, we probably never would have had a kid. And you know much joy VC has brought to our lives. I literally never even babysat or spent much time around babies so it was a BIT of an adjustment!<br /><br />I have no doubt that you and Leland will have the coolest baby in the neighborhood!!!Carma Sezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01897159620671834070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204928643804598043.post-46738366972586045812010-02-08T18:30:43.967-08:002010-02-08T18:30:43.967-08:00Glad to have moved ya, even though I'm not thr...Glad to have moved ya, even though I'm not thrilled to hear that you were upset. <br /><br />FIRST of all. Listen up, luvie. Don't ever freaking apologize for feeling a certain way. Your feelings are 100% valid, no matter WHO's birthday it is. (The Cute thanks you for the wishes and sends you some 7-tooth-bites, by the way.) Are you not the one who totally validates my tweaking on rude laundry room wenches? That's what I thought. <br /><br />I am so sorry to hear how frustrated you are. Ain't life a kick in the ovaries? Your future child is SO blessed to be wanted to badly. To be loved like that?!
