latest

Well I figured it was time for a proper update!! What is the latest goings on?? Well, Eli & I went to synagogue for the first time last weekend. It was nice, there is a subsection of babies there who Eli will grow up with as they will be in the same grade. I never had the opportunity to say "i grew up with this person and that person" b/c we moved so much, so I hope to stay here long enough for Eli to be able to say those things.

He is still sleeping through the night wonderfully. I am glad we cleared that hurdle! B/c in about a month or so, we start pre-teething which means we will be up again at night, so at least I get some sleep before that starts :) But I am totally on his schedule, so if he needs to get up or his body gets him up- its okay- he's a baby :) And he's my baby!

I really like being his mommy. Sometimes I want some time to myself, but I would say 99% of the time, I love just having him in my life. Its def. a growing process. Thankfully he's an easy baby. We are working on him sitting up and grabbing toys. Its all happening, just slowly. He makes alot of cooing and talking sounds. In fact, we were in shul actually and he started "talking" during the bat mitzvah girl reading her speech, so we had to leave ;)

What else?? I had my FIRST labor and delivery dream last night, ha! I never had a single dream about babies or delivery all through my pregnancy and post partum! I knew the dream had to come eventually :) And here it is! It was an easy labor and delivery in my dream- so it was a nice dream.

One of the other mommies is 7 1/2 mths pregnant, and has a 14 month old son and I swear the "wanting to be pregnant" hormones started swirling. There must must be a biological trigger when a womyn sees a baby. It must be a survival of the species type of thing. I was like "awww, I want another baby." And I'm not like that, I am happy to not be pregnant b/c I enjoy my caffeine and having my body back... But seeing other pregnant mommies thing is hard!

So I hit 29 this month! And I am telling everyone that I am going to start in the late summer/early fall of '10 to have another baby. So I am on the "clock" so to speak. Why am I rushing to have another child? I just want to have my little family intact and together. I don't feel satisfied with just 1 child. I need another. At least.. and/or maybe 3 children? I feel just not settled- not completed- not done. I know I want more, so this is the time. The younger I have them, the younger I will be to watch them grow, etc. It's hard to sit and wait. Technically, I could get pregnant by Spring if I wanted to. But, I think 2 yrs (well less than that now) is a good time... Eeekkk..

We shall see!!!
