It hit me this week that I'm getting dangerously close to not being able to fake dinners or any meal anymore. I won't be able to bow out with my bowl of cereal and make my husband fend for himself. I'll have KIDS to feed! Does this mean I should get a kitchen table?
Sure having your first kid is a MAJOR change to your life and a much bigger commitment than a marriage in my opinion, but it's not that hard to a) get a babysitter for one baby, which I feel like I should be doing way more often, but there are a few rare things I'd rather do alone. or b) bring baby along, which can work but takes more planning than grabbing your keys and wallet and jamming. But accommodating TWO little people seems much more daunting! Double car seats, double stroller, double diapers and wipes(for now), double snacks/drinks and double toys. not to mention the double time you spend packing it all up and unpacking at the end... Double the beings to please! We are going to be a family of FOUR.
That's no joke. That's a family unit! Some people stop after two and are completely fulfilled (some after one or even none) (Not sure what our lucky number will be but the significant other has decided there needs to be a break before 3 comes along, and he's not even the one carrying the kid, or both kids at the same time!) But we will have hit America's average of number of children! Any more and people will say things like "are those ALL yours??" "Or wow you've been busy" if they don't already make comments like that when you're huffing and puffin to lug a tantruming toddler on top of your beach ball belly up the stairs for a nap.
Glad we thought this all the way through right?! HA
Our days are numbered before our baby boy flips our world upside down. I love and hate the anticipation. One thing I know is bringing a baby into the world is the closest I've felt to God and really understood my own divine nature. There was no let down after 9 months of building and YES I can't wait to do the dang thang again!
