No baby...for now.

After egging on my husband and completing our trilogy, I realized I am quite satisfied with the two we have. Going from 2 to 3 is a much bigger step than going from 1 to 2. It was so hectic the other day getting our kids out the door to school and then an evening of them both. Honestly, I don't think my husband helps as much as he could with the kids, and with 3, I would require so much more from him. Our house would have to be reorganized, we would definitely need a minivan (which we plan to get anyway). I honestly feel very relieved to let it go, and not be concerned about having another one. I know we would do what ever we have to if there would be another one, but it's not in the plans...right now. I think I have been confusing what I would do differently, with wanting to do it again.

To three or not to three

Husband and I are starting the debate on having a third. There is a lot to consider with thinking about a third. Our house would have to be reorganized, better organized. Who will sleep where. We would need to finally buy a king size bed. There are also some financial things to consider, but I don't like to get hung up on those details. I am happy with the two we have, but would we be happier with 3? Is there something missing without 3? I don't think so. That's not really the point. With so many people I see having another one, even a 3rd, the idea seems so lovely, so romantic. I'm not in a hurry, though I do think about #2 already being 1 and that I would like #2 and 3 to be closer in age than #1 and #2. I don't know yet what we will do, I just don't want to say no. Not yet.

My healthy son

I'm going to talk about my son for a moment, because he's sitting on my lap. I say he's healthy because he loves to snack on berries. Whole blueberrries, Craisins, or raisins. He gets some salty snacks too, but for sugar snacks I'm satisfied with him eating something with positive nutritional benefits. I'm not really a health freak. In fact, I completely messed up our daughter. She is healthy, but she's picky and doesn't like many veggies. I didn't eat well as a child and didn't do a lot of research on food and youth diets until I decided to make my son's baby food. This boy loves his food. There are a few things he won't eat, but only a few.

This is me...

I have a lot of thoughts that go through my head on a regular basis. I am one of the people who can't seem to turn off the background noise. I no longer want to "bother" my facebook friends with my random banter, only those who want to know. This will be stuff about my husband, my kids, my mom, and of course...me. I'm hoping this will be an alternative to being a writer, which my grandmother always thought I could do, however I could never continue to flow with the same topic. My main interests (which usually come up in an introduction) are being a good wife and mother. I know that may sound typical, and even lame. I am however, what my mom describes as a "professional mom". If there is information out there about how to be a better mom, or a better person as a mom, I've probably at least looked into it. I am also interested in improving my marriage. Mind you, there is nothing wrong with my marriage, I just don't want it to end up that way.
