Unless someone is pushing the fertility clock. <BR/><BR/>I think the 2 year spacing that is sooo ingrained in our culture is too close in age. Esp. now that research shows how important the first three years are. <BR/><BR/>Enjoy your time off from nursing and dance!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9999144.post-1113486767882329682005-04-14T06:52:00.000-07:002005-04-14T06:52:00.000-07:00Noooo!

I had enough of a "break" in between them, or so I thought. Of course, in time I grew accustomed to the new addition to the family, and just when I was weaning him and getting giddy about drinking gobs of alcohol and going on a crash diet to lose the preggo weight, I got pregnant again. I'm not so nervous about baby number 3 coming along though. But I am forewarning family and friends that when September comes, they shouldn't be surprised if they don't hear from me until Christmas.<BR/><BR/>When I was still a mom-of-one, I often went back and forth... should I go back to work? If so, when? My husband used to ask me that question constantly. After my son came along he stopped asking because it really is too much to think about, especially with all the little things we Mommies have going on in our heads. And the only time I can stop and think is when the kids are in bed. At that point I can't even begin to raise that 'going back to work' issue. Ugh, such a tough thing!manababieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03972417886928074122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9999144.post-1113480127095056552005-04-14T05:02:00.000-07:002005-04-14T05:02:00.000-07:00Hey, that's what happened to me about a year ago! ...Hey, that's what happened to me about a year ago! Most of the moms in my playgroup have 3-6 month olds now, and of the ones who don't, most are in fertility treatment.<BR/><BR/>I went through a period, right after Naomi started to sleep well, of *not* wanting to get pregnant again for a *long time*. But here I am, barely pregnant, and looking forward very much to another baby.

I've been hinting at my discomfort with working as compared to staying at home on my blog, fosterfest.blogspot.com. I can't be completely honest for fear of getting dooced, but reading your thoughts and conflicts over staying home makes me realize the grass is always greener (which makes me all the more in favor of pasture-jumping in general. Working part-time seems ideal).<BR/><BR/>Anyway, great to find your blog, and good work.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02036789451396172188noreply@blogger.com
