Baby BOOM!
Man...it seems like I am in the midst of a BABY BOOM.... Two of my girlfriends have had baby girls this month.... Mia Elizabeth & Ryan Addison....
The Princess of Norway had a baby girl this week....Emma Tallulah.... (Princess Martha,...I know you are TRYING to be COOL...& CUTTING edge...but it just ain't working for you.....your not a rock star... you are an ANGEL teacher...part time Princess.... Bless... )
I have another friend here in town...pregnant... My sister in law just announced PREGNANT... #4 (we were both preggers at the same time with both of my kids...)
Eva just turned 4 & I can hear my biological clock TICK TOCK... once again...
It was right after Dane's 4th birthday I started wanting another baby BAD... Maybe at around 4 ,the kids lose all semblance of being a baby.... & I just HAVE to have a baby in the house.... I no longer have BABIES in my house...
Just this past week, Eva with both hands on her hips & told me..." But MOMMMM, I'm a BIG GIRL NOW!" when I asked her if she could walk back & put her shoes up at pre school.
Yes...she IS a big girl now... (sigh)..
My BABY BOY.... ? made me breakfast in bed last weekend... & we aren't talking cereal or toast... NOPE.. we are talking PERFECT Eggs & perfectly cooked BACON... yum.. (yes he is 9...)
When I went downstairs...kitchen clean, dishwasher going.... (Have I mentioned I LOVE that boy?) I was so IMPRESSED... i taught him how to make coffee..... (can't wait for NEXT weekend...)
So back to the point... I have had BABIES on the brain a lot of late....
Bjørn is happy with the 2 we have... I am too... But as we snuggled in on Sunday morning... (because both kids are big enough to sleep over at my MILs now...) we talked about babies again... & must say hubby brought up some VERY good points.....
For the first time in 12 years I am REALLY content... the kids are happy..I love my job... we have things down pat.... do I really want to go back to having a tiny baby in the house... (part of me yes....) MOST of me, loves the life & family I have right now...
So why am I so afraid to leave this point of my life?? I am usually in such a hurry to get onto the next phase... married, house...babies...etc.... (OK..I know I have many more years with kids at home.... but I keep finding myself thinking..."It won't be long until Dane won't want to do our family outings... or Eva will no longer want to climb in my bed & cuddle.... I am going to miss these moments....)
Bjørn talked me off of the baby ledge this weekend.... no babies here....
& WHY is it... Anytime a woman says she MAY have something EXCITING to tell you... ya'll just ASSUME it is a baby? (got an email from my little sis this morning wanting to KNOW...)
My big exciting news...EXCITING for me anyway....
MY super ADORABLE ...LOVABLE.... Husband has booked a ROMANTIC getaway to ROME.. with another couple....NO KIDS..... YIPPEEEE.... We are staying right by the Spanish Steps... Can ya tell I am excited?

Comments
PS. Can you send some of those baby vibes my way?
We also decided no more babies but didn't really take 'preventative measure' so we ended up with our little English rose.
Sometimes I really think "God, I am too old for this!" - but then she comes with those butterfly kisses and my heart just melts.
It's nice with a big family - it ads a completely different dimension.
I don't think we ever get over wanting another baby. I still get the thought....but then I think of all my freedom!!!
Sounds like you have a great trip planned - sans kids. Have a great time.
As for me, the Farmer might just whisk me off to romantic Iowa!!!

And, I saw in one of your previous comments that it is freezing in your corner of the world. Send a little of that cool air our way. It was burning up here yesterday. Hoping it'll cool down a bit. We don't even have fall leaves anywhere but in the mountains. I am ready for fall!!!!
My baby is 4 and I told my hubby the other day that I sometimes want another baby. He was a little shocked. He said But i thought you like being baby fee.
I wonder if it's just a woman thing to still want to nurture and to be needed..
Ooh.. can I say that here?
And enjoy those babies of yours now because they DO grow SOOOO fast!!!
My husband and I are in the same position...we are just really comfortable how we are right now! :)
Never know though!
What a sweet thing your hubby did...bonus points!! I'm thinking about shunning my hubby...he busted me for mentioning his - name on my blog...how dare I?! I think I'll make his new nickname, 'He who shall not be named' or just plain 'Butthead' Whaddaya think?
I admit, I thought baby first thing too.
Ohh..I love your header. I have been looking for a header idea and truly love yours. Did you create it in photoshop? I love the map and passports...very cool. If only I could figure out how to do that. I would love any tips you have.
Now you get to be the traveler and I will stay home!! LOL
I'm so jealous of your trip! Ahhh, to be able to jet off to Italy for a romantic weekend trip. Have fun!
I don't know if the urge for more babies ever leaves you, even when your biological clock has stopped ticking and the use by date on your ovaries has expired..
Think I will go for door #2.
My one and only daughter is 21, in college and still lives at home (cheaper) so I am holding out for those alone times still.
Hope you enjoy or enjoyed the great runaway!
Also your one Saucy (SITS) Texan!
oh for your weekend use these
