I mean my career was just taking off and all but eh, F it, its just a job and now look how much love I have in my life. <br />yet im still both equally ecstatic and terrified of having another.Adrianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01030810604416590315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75479263476149564.post-6323230832971744042010-10-19T17:24:55.342-07:002010-10-19T17:24:55.342-07:00I'm in the same boat as you.

We weren't ready for the first one and I can't imagine being ready for another but I guess it all works out in the end.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04450402078605458664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75479263476149564.post-26202957647013388152010-10-18T09:07:11.325-07:002010-10-18T09:07:11.325-07:00@ Chelsea & Julie- You're both so right. W...@ Chelsea & Julie- You're both so right. We'll never be ready because in reality when you look at ALL of the aspects of children, nobody is ever ready. Children simply MAKE you ready. They mold you as much as you do them. And I know, if we have another by accident or choice, the result will be the same. Another person to love. Plain and simple. <br /><br />And if not? Well, we have a person who packs a whole lot of love in one punch anyway!<br /><br />Thanks for your words!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13808888025816733460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75479263476149564.post-72418456474098327822010-10-17T09:46:21.542-07:002010-10-17T09:46:21.542-07:00Love it.

It is the most amazing and heart warming thing though when your two kids are playing together, whispering together, and when you find them secretly holding hands. omg I love it so much. <br /><br />Sometimes when I'm trying to go to sleep, I find myself thinking about #3! I want to smack myself in the face! But maybe someday...Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12137662122938249240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75479263476149564.post-79504308508814172802010-10-17T07:22:08.399-07:002010-10-17T07:22:08.399-07:00I got teary eyed when you were talking about that ...I got teary eyed when you were talking about that krammer vs. krammer movie. That's one of my favorite movies. That's when I fell in love with Dustin hoffman. He's one of my celebrity crushes (young hoffman!). What a great film. You're right, it's hard to find the cons when you take an honest look at parenting. <br /><br />Here's my opinion: you're never going to be ready. No matter what you have in place and what your bank account looks like, there will be hard days and easy days. And, we've had this SAME convo recently because I don't feel READY for the next baby and Dustins like, "we can do this!" It's scary. I feel like, am i woman enough to handle two! Everyday all day!<br />But what would I do without my siblings? I would have been LOST in life. I think of that too. I need Conrad to have a brother or sister because I don't want him to be alone. As an adult now, I love my brother so much, we're more like best friends than siblings (we pretty much talk about EVERYTHING. There is nothing off limits and he treats me like I've got something to offer him with giving advice eventhough i'm 4 years younger.) <br /><br />I always think that 2-3 kids would be nice. I could help with college funds, we could probably afford family trips.... have two of our own and adopt 1 later maybe.... I dont know. There are so many moms that I see who can handle 2 or 3, so why can't i? <br /><br />Loved this post.<br />You're an excellent writer.<br /><br />xoxoChelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624349621537848131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75479263476149564.post-88374585214889369932010-10-15T18:00:47.396-07:002010-10-15T18:00:47.396-07:00I just love this post.I just love this post.Maggie Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14699674732274478502noreply@blogger.com
