Undecided
I have two kids.
And it seems that the second that I popped baby number two out, everyone keep asking if I was going to have more.
Well, okay, maybe not everyone, but a vast majority.
Wait, perhaps not a vast majority, but at least 6 people.
6 really tall people.
I’m sure those 6 people were just being polite, and asked me because they were all done complementing my shoes, and talking about rain in the forecast. But whatever the reason, I never know how to answer that question.
Like today; a friend of mine asked me if I was going to have more babies, and I was all, “Um, well, I don’t know. Maybe….No. Not really, but if it happens we won’t leave it at the fire station, ya know? Wait, I mean, we have 4 bedrooms, so maybe. UGH. It’s complicated.”
I think she was just looking for me to say something simple.
But answering a question like that is not simple. It’s not that I mind being asked, it’s that I’m very undecided, and one day, if asked, I might shout, “HELL NO!! What’s wrong with you!? You’re ridiculous. I can’t believe I’m actually friends with you.”
But ask me while I’m ovulating and in the middle of eating a lemon cupcake and I might be all, “Oh, maybe I’m pregnant right NOW! How fun would that be? Wouldn’t it be the best if it was twins!? Maybe I’ll name one after you!”
So in conclusion, there are two things we can learn from this post:
One- I’m emotionally unstable.
And two- I’m undecided.
I love you…You crack me up all the time! And I’m sure some of that comes from knowing you as a kid..and being able to picture the expressions on your face while I’m reading this. But seriously..that is a really tough question to answer. People asked me after my first and the answer is definitely yes. But I’m not so sure what I’ll say after I have my second. So I hear ya girl! Thanks for a good giggle.
This is sooo me! The first two kids were a given and the third would be….a bonus??? That is if he/she is an easy baby and makes this world a better place for all of us. BUT, what if he/she has severe colic and you are up at all hours of the night and still have to get your older two kids up and to school by 8am. That is what I am pondering. I always get the, “Well, you going to try for that girl?” I have 2 boys. When I get asked that question, it makes me mad. I love my boys and wouldn’t change them or their sex for anything. If we try for another, it is because we want another child…not a certain sex. UGH! Thanks for the great post!
