cirque du bebe

This is the joke everyone hears inevitably when there are a bunch of pregnancies around (especially in one’s office). My office has (yet again this year) had a slew of pregnancies. In fact, many of my close friends are either pregnant or have had a child recently (BTW, congrats to Caramama!).  And I still am asked at least once a week by someone either at work or elsewhere, “When’s number two coming along?”  And with the 12 pounds I’ve put on recently, I almost feel like saying “Oh about 6 months” just to shock them a little.  (And NO, it’s just regular FAT, not preggo fat.  Something I’m not too happy about.)

DH and I have debated the timing of the second child heavily. I’m definitely getting closer to feeling like trying than I was a couple months ago. Today Monkey and I were shopping and as we exited the store, a woman pushing a cart in front of us had what was obviously a very new baby in a car seat. Seeing that baby didn’t freak me out or drum up any anxiety as it would have before which is good. In fact, I was kinda envious and realized maybe I CAN do it again.

But for Heaven’s to bitsy, don’t ask when!!
