Good luck! By the way, having a playmate for Baby is actually really nice, especially when said playmate is of walking/playing age. The kids will actually entertain (and fight, but that is another story) each other for some time during the day and give you some, er, well not really *peace*--more like down time -- kind of.macboudicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08130243351803467566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-1153942471915155942006-07-26T15:34:00.000-04:002006-07-26T15:34:00.000-04:00When my #1 was 12 months old I felt a little "funn...When my #1 was 12 months old I felt a little "funny" (long before mp was due), so I found an unused stick in the archives (from previous life of trying & testing)and to my surprise I got the thickest, darkest blue line I'd ever seen announcing that #2 was on the way. I started crying for #1 who would no longer be my only baby. Hubby spent the night throwing up in the bathroom. The truth is I prayed for a miscarriage. <BR/><BR/>2 years later (exactly) and we are all in LOVE with #2 - my gift from God. Best decision I never made. I was thinking the other day that if it weren't for our "surprise" we probably would still only have One - and now that breaks my heart. We needed #2 more than we knew.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-1153936799934374152006-07-26T13:59:00.001-04:002006-07-26T13:59:00.001-04:00*beautiful.*beautiful.GIRL'S GONE CHILDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07130764109593048451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-1153936784200054802006-07-26T13:59:00.000-04:002006-07-26T13:59:00.000-04:00Wow.

The same thing happened to me. Exactly. You could have written my thoughts exactly. And that's when I knew. I knew with every ounce of me that I was so ready. And still I wait. And now I wait for you too. The pink line will come when it is supposed to.<BR/><BR/>Now go drink your face off at BlogHer and celebrate in the "knowing of the ready!" Does that make sense?
