Gah.
I am going to a dinner on Sunday to celebrate that an old friend of mine is 12 weeks pregnant. (a friend who seriously had the hardest time getting pregnant of almost anyone I know... 4 rounds of IUI and then suddenly got pregnant on her own)
Anyway, I told her I'd bring her my boxes of maternity clothes to go through and borrow what she wanted. Honestly, the chances of her actually wanting any of it are slim to none... we are built completely differently (she is tall and VERY slim... ) AND she hates my style. But I suddenly got a "what if I need these?!" pang. (sigh) Since August is when we might go for it, I really shouldn't need them until fall or winter (or later!) anyway... but still... I feel so suddenly possessive of all of it. I didn't feel this way when I lent the clothes to my SIL, but then again, I KNEW I wouldn't need that stuff anytime soon... or at least, I hoped not!
I wish I weren't such a control freak! :P
It's also freaking me out how quickly summer is approaching!

Ups and Downs... LOL...
After this past weekend with the boys, Tom keeps declaring we are finished, finito, put a fork in us we're done.
I will admit, it was a rather trying and frustrating weekend and they tag-teamed us well. Ben has hit yet another moody, broody, bratty, ungrateful, almost teenage-girl-like hormonal phase or something. (is this what I have to look forward to with age five?) Simon is almost two, need I say more? There were definitely moments this weekend where I considered dropping Tom off somewhere for the big snip snip. LOL.
Poor potential, not-yet-or maybe-never-conceived baby Three. His or her very existence is constantly in limbo based on big brothers' behavior. Let the sibling rivalry begin! ;) Let's hope, for Three's sake that the big boys both hit relatively easy phases at the same time one day!

Getting There!
I still don't feel like I have my stuff together most days and life is still quite chaotic with the two monkeys.... but I think I'm getting to the point where I wouldn't feel TOTALLY crazy being pregnant again.
Right now, August is the month I have in mind as to when we may possibly stop preventing... we'll see. Even if I were to get pregnant right away, that would still make Simon three years old when Three would arrive. He should be potty trained and in a big bed by then, if he follows in Ben's footsteps that way. And if it takes six months or so, or God forbid, I have any staying pregnant issues again, August gives us a good cushion... I really don't want the kiddos to be too far apart in age.
A good friend of mine just found out she is pregnant and I think it kind of got me on a uterus aches kick... LOL.
