That baby itch...

I never know where to put some of my posts.
I think I'm finally starting to get that baby itch.  I'm about to the point where I don't care about avoiding.  I was talking to dh last night about it a bit, and I have always told him, I don't want a December baby.  His birthday is Dec 27, and with TOK, and Christmas, then his birthday 2 days later, it's just a lot, so I just don't want to have to juggle another birthday in December...but...last night I told him, I guess if we ended up getting pregnant in March, and had a December baby, that'd be ok.  I see this as a sign that I'm ready, since I don't mind now when a new baby would come.  :D  He keeps telling me I'm in the driver's seat at this point, and at first I didn't get what he meant, as it really needs to be a mutual decision that we're both on board with another baby and agree that we're ready.  I said I just want to get to that point where I'm ready to not worry about avoiding, but not necessarily TTC, and just leave it up to God for now, and he said well, he's already there, he's just waiting for me to be ready.  Wow, really?  lol  Ok then.  If we were to conceive this month, we'd be due in early August, and I just do NOT want another August baby, I was so incredibly miserable.  If it happened, well ok it would be fine, but I'd just rather wait another month I think.
I'm sorry I keep coming back to this same theme in my posts, but it's just SO opposite of what I had with my ex, it amazes me even after 5 years married to dh now.  :)  Now, he and I are both in agreement also that this next one will be the last baby.  It's a little sad, but in a way I'm also at peace with it.  We have room for one more in our current van (8 passenger Toyota Sienna) and then we're full up.  :) 
My oldest DD is great, too...I asked her how she felt about having one more sibling, and she told me it would be great, even if she has to be squished 3 across in the back of the van.  Of course, she's 10, so maybe she'll feel differently at 14, when she really is squished in the back.  ;)
So...thanks for reading and letting me share.  :D

Scratch that itch! Scratch that itch!

LOL I am sorry. I just love when people have babies. Besides, yours are so smart, cute, and polite. I am psyched you're TTC.

I've known you for over 11 years now, and I can totally understand why Ward is such a pleasant surprise when compared to your ex. Your ex was a jerk. I am just glad that your found someone to love that is deserving of that wonderful gift. :)

As for the baby itch, that is always a common theme on this board. lol

I always know it is time for another when I start having baby dreams and when I don't care if I have another Feb/May baby. lol

Happy trying/not preventing. lol

Hugs,

Here, take some of my baby dust! <Shoves some your way with a bulldozer> We planned to have five since our van held seven people, LOL. The new plan - not that it does us any good - is to plan for one less than the capacity of the vehicle. I'm sooo lucky that DH can do paint, mechanical, and body work. I'm getting a cheap (auction) car if we need to get a new one! (Still looking for that 3 person bench seat, though.)

*baby dust**baby dust**baby dust**baby dust**!
