Yup. Too fast. I wish I could win the lottery so I wouldn't have to go back to work. I don't want to miss a second with her.

I know how you feel, Luke will be 4 Months tomorrow

. We saw my Sister in laws brothers baby over the weekend, she is 8 weeks, and I can't believe how small she is, it seems like it has been forever since Luke was tiny like that, but it's only been 2 months, lol.

Here is a recent photo of my little farm boy. Hope all is well with everybody here, I still try to check in, but I'm lost, lol.

has it really been FOUR months?! I thought you JUST had him! And that picture is just too precious!!

OMG Luke is sooooo cute! He has grown so much!

I just had my 32 week apt. He is head down and measuring at least a week ahead! The Dr also said that due to my commute of over an hour each way, I need to stop working/work from home in 4 weeks! She doesn't want me commuting past 36 weeks especially since he is measuring ahead. I already know working from home is not an option so breaking the news tomorrow at work should be interesting to say the least.

Umm...so I'm pretty sure I dont know anyone here, which is exactly why I am posting here...
I'm about to turn 33, and hubby will be 30 on Weds. He's really wanting a baby, like yesterday. I'm just okay with the idea. I don't have a burning in my loins for a child, but I'd be fine if it happened. I'm quite sure that if I had a child, I would love and adore it and be a great mom, and I don't NOT want one, but I won't go so far as to say I WANT one. Does that make any sense?
I feel weird discussing this with my friends and family, because for so long I have said I DON'T want kids. I dont feel like getting the "i told you so" and also, my husband and I have had a rather tumultous marriage, and a lot of them dont even want me with him, let alone have a kid with him. I'm quite sure now that if problems came up again I would be able to walk away, in fact I'd do it faster with a kid because I wont raise a child in a bad environment if I can change it. That's been one of the biggest reasons I refused to have a child before - he is an alcoholic and I wouldnt have a baby with him drinking and all the things that come with that. He's been sober for over 2 yrs now and has seriously worked on the underlying issues as well.
We havent been "trying", but we havent been preventing anything for most of about a year now. Now I'm getting a little concerned, but I probably shouldnt worry just yet because he was working out of town a lot and there were several months when we only got one "attempt" in, LOL!
I'm not even sure what point I'm trying to make, except maybe to say this to someone besides myself. Has anyone else felt this way?

I can relate with everything except for the alcoholism and the tumultuous part... My parents and everyone around us gave us grief for not having children. I didn't want to hear the I told you so either. But we drug it out for so long that they were so excited about it when it did happen, that they forgot to say told you so.. LOL I'm 36 and DH is 37. DH has wanted a kid since we got together 13 years ago. I, on the otherhand, was anti-kid right up until the positive showed up on the stick. And then still wasn't entirely sure about it. I just knew it was happening regardless of how I felt. Of course it didn't take long at all for it to sink in and then I couldn't wait! Now that she is here, I can't imagine never wanting her or any kids at all. The love I feel for her is unimaginable. Now, with that said... Only you know your home life and whether it would be suitable for a child. Also, I never felt the NEED to have a child either. I never got baby fever like my friends and thought something was wrong with me and that I was just not meant to have kids. Guess I was wrong, because my baby is only 2 weeks old and I want more already!!!

Well, that makes me feel a lot better. I've also heard "if you dont WANT one, you shouldnt have one" as if I wouldnt be a good mom because I dont have "baby fever". I think how many babies are unplanned? a lot, and I'm pretty sure there are a lot of good moms out there that didnt plan to be moms (or at least not then).
