Itchy, Itchy

You'll never believe this..but...I've got the itch already.

Jon and I are very aware that if we want another child, we need to try as soon as possible because of my age. My doctor says that I need to wait 10 months to a year after Kate was born before I get pregnant again because my scars from my c-section need to heal. Well, after this weekend and this morning, I got the itch to have another baby...and bad!

Our neighbors who live three doors down from us had a baby in early February. I held him for the first time the other day...and just holding that little peanut at such a young age made me long for those days that I had with Kate. Am I nuts??? She is only 4 months, but she is so much bigger...it's amazing how babies grow and change so quickly. They are so sweet and tender when they are newborns.

As I fed Kate this morning before work I got sad. I love nursing her and she's almost 4 1/2 months, so the middle of the night nursings aren't going to last much longer. Ugh. I'm going to miss that.

Soooo, hopefully all will work out so that we will have another little peanut to nurse within a year. I don't like to live my life with regrets...but I do regret waiting so long to have kids. If I would have known it was this great, I would have wanted 20 of them! I told Jon I wanted to have two more...which made him almost fall over! We'll take it one at a time...but I LOVE being a mommy!

By the way...I realize the work that goes into having just one baby. Most days I forget to eat I'm so busy with working full time and then coming home to Kate all day...but it's all worth it. I can't imagine how busy it would be with two, and I can't wait to find out!
