What's this strange feeling in my brain?

Okay, so one way to inspire me to blog more frequently is to join in with a theme for every day. Like Stories in my Pocket on Saturdays. Or Tuesdays unwrapped, which encourage us to look at the gifts a normal Tuesday can bring.

So here's mine today: I am actually not tired. Really! I don't think I have felt that way for the past...hmm...12 plus 9...21 months!

I remember one of the first thoughts I had when I discovered I was pregnant with Caitlyn was 'I was just starting to not feel tired!' So here I am again, for today at least, feeling pretty good.

Which helps of course with the brooooodiness I'm having lately. I don't want another baby, I could tell you ten or twenty (or even just three) reasons why not, but that whisper is in my ear. It's biological, it's hormonal (I'm weaning Caitlyn), it's irrational, it's not what I want! But sheesh . Babies.

When I mentioned it to Marcus today he said 'I don't want to be the kind of family that has 7 or 8 children.' Because obviously he thinks we'll jump from 3 to 7. I didn't know quadruplets ran in his family.

I am NOT tired today And it is a good feeling!.

Yipee for being "not so tired" today!! It's a big milestone in that post-baby stage.
So wait....did I read this correctly...you DO want another baby? For realz?? JANE!!!! (That's not me yelling, that's me saying your name all crazy. Cuz I love you, whether you're mom to 3 or 8 or somewhere in between).

No I DON@T want another baby. Except part of me does. The crazy irrational that's just the hormones talking part. SO I am having lots of internal arguments with that part, telling it to go away.

Doesn't your sister have 7 kids? Wow.

And I like that you wrote for realz. Like it.

It's the little things, indeed :) thanks for sharing.

Weaning can bring those feelings, even when we feel certain.
Not feeling tired can be just as addictive as the smell of an infants head.

It is rather interesting for me to read this article. Thanx for it. I like such topics and everything that is connected to them. I would like to read a bit more on that blog soon.
