all i can think about lately....


BABIES, BABIES, BABIES... I feel like they are everywhere! Which isn't a bad thing except for the fact that I want one! Here's the thing everyone just keeps saying "well then just have one" for some reason it just doesn't seem that easy to me. I want one so bad and everyday I think (well OBSESS) about it.. ways we could tell our parents, baby names, what being prego will be like, what waking up in the middle of the night mulitple times will do for my sanity, what outfits and accessories I think are cute for babies, how I could decorate a nursery, the list goes on and on about what I OBSESS about daily. The only thing is I'm not pregnant and we weren't planning on trying until next summer. I know, I know "so don't wait." Again it just doesn't seem that easy to me. When I truly stop to think if Gary just said "alright let's not wait" it freaks me right out! I need him to keep telling me "It will come." "In a little bit" "Next year babe" when I say "I want a baby." And really next summer is in like 7 months, which in the perspective of things is just not that far away, but in my world IT'S FOREVER!!! Will next summer ever come? I think not! Anyway I just need help friends. Does anyone have any advice on how to help someone who is craving a baby? And please don't give me the "just have one" that doesn't help. That just makes it worse. I swear you people are going to talk me right into doing it. And if your advice is baby sit, I've tried that with the most energized 18 month old on the face of the earth or sub in nursery guess what folks we ARE the nursery leaders, and I think that is making things worse too. I hang out with these cute little ones every sunday and the cute things they say kill me. (like this sunday Gary gave one of our little girls and animal cookie and she picked it up examied it and showed it to him and said "Bison!" SO CUTE!!! I about died laughing) I just need advice on how to occupy my mind for 7 months, then I can think about it all I want. So I will end this novel now. I just feel like I have to get this baby hunger off my chest for some reason it helps to tell people about my new obsession!

:)You are so funny Jenessa! The time will come faster than you think & you will have a little one here before you know it!!! I know how you feel. I was always baby hungry before I had Kayson! Like you said it's not all that far away!;)
Just enjoy your stage in life right now as "just you two" because after you have a baby that is no more. Babies but will come, so just have fun and enjoy pretty much doing whatever you want because it will end.. trust me! But it is so fun having a baby.. I highly recommend it!

Jenessa, i totally understand how you feel, i look at babies and melt. Niels & I will not be having kids for a while too...The only thing helping me, is i have to finish my program before i get pregnant or i will not finish more than likely. So, i guess just try and keep yourself busy haha....my advice sucks i know. Summer will be here before you know it, so have fun with just you two like Cassie said. :) Oh and if you just happen to get pregnant early...YAY! haha

I'm ok with being an aunt in 9 months :0 ). I have to have one soon or I will miss it. Please!!!! Besides that will help my baby hunger

ha ha! I love it! It's so fun to have kids and you two will be great parents. You have to remember that once you get pregnant, it will take 9 months until you have one. So instead of waiting to GET pregnant next summer, you can just HAVE ONE next summer. But one thing to remember is that once you have one, there is no going back. You and Gary need to get all the vacationing out of your system. Have fun as a couple and when you both decide, then we can all have a baby party for you!!!

I know what you mean. Except I don't have a man so that helps things out. But ya know what, when a baby comes it takes so much responsibilities and time away. You and your husband won't have much alone time together, so enjoy these 7 months. I think babies are great and all that time and energy is worth it when it is the right time! Just think about that! I can't wait until you have a baby though!

LOL that is a cute post. You are so amazing and will be an amazing mom. If need something to deter it though, babies are expensive!!!! there did that help;)
You are so adorable Jenessa! I say just pray about it a lot... sometimes those little urges are more than just maternal! Jakob wasn't in my plans, but I really can't describe how much my life has changed for the better because of him. Your baby will bring you so much joy. There's all I got :) Good luck!
