After Christmas I always find myself wanting to fast forward to Spring. We had a few 50-60 degree days and even a couple thunderstorms and it gave me a taste of what I have been missing. I don’t want it to be hot and humid though because that just sucks. It’s just warm weather and sunshine that I crave.
Time passes too fast as it is so I know it’s foolish to wish it away. My girls are growing up in warp speed and I am starting to feel the urge to have another baby. AM I CRAZY? It’s just that Alivia is more toddler than baby and Addison is going to be 9 in April and that is just blowing my mind.
Addison approx 6 months old
Alivia 6 months
I know this is how it works. I realize that children grow up and we become grown ups we have our own children and then grandchildren and then before you know it we are old men and old women. Ok freaking myself out moooving on…
I don’t think Mr.007 is 100% on board with this whole “Ashley’s biological clock is ticking alarmingly loud” thing. I can understand why…I mean he doesn’t have dreams about nursing babies NOR does he have ovaries that twitch at the very SIGHT of a tiny baby. And that is probably a good thing because having a husband who dreams about breastfeeding and/or has twitching ovaries would just be ODD and UNCOMFORTABLE…and ODD.
Don’t get me wrong…I am not exactly ready to have another child this very minute. I need to lose some weight, maybe fit in another DisneyWorld trip and more importantly get Alivia to use the toilet. But even though I am not quite ready to try for a third child I have been thinking about it quite a bit.
Since we were so young when Addison was born I would like to be finished with the birthin’ more baybies portion of our lives fairly soon. Not to mention (in my opinion) I am a REALLY cute pregnant lady! See Figures A and B below:

And since I have some fairly significant lady bidness issues that can make it take awhile to conceive I don’t know when to start trying. The first to do would be to get my husband to say he is willing to risk having another hormonal wonderful girl. It would probably be good to talk to him about having another baby rather than to the whole wide internets.
Hmmm but I am sure he won’t mind. Do y’all know any tricks to try for a boy baby? Because I really need one!!
Not that I wouldn’t love another girl! Because we sure do make some beautiful girls! See Figures C and D below:

Even though another girl would be fine with me, it would be nice to have a little baby boy 007. You know snakes and snails and puppy dawg tails and all that. Now if you’ll excuse me I need to go take some Tylenol for this baby fever before it gets out of hand!

I hear your clock ticking you better get busy. You guys do make beautiful girls and we will be blessed with whatever God gives us.
hang out with a teenager for a while and then decide how much you need another person in your life! 2 is a comfortable #………. words from an empty nest mom!
love you….. ann
Ask Grandpa how to make a boy!! And Ash, I had a hysterectomy so I wouldn’t have any more grandkids. ;0) 3
There isn’t much on this Earth better than a cup of tea and a 007 blog entry on a Saturday morning. Why, it’s better than brownies taken out of the oven five minutes before the box says.
Wow - you’re better than gooey brownies…perhaps you should write more…or maybe you’re just weaning us off of your blog ‘cuz you’re not going to have any time for it after your 3rd child. That’s it, isn’t it? I’m going to have to actually call you or come see you if I want to know what’s happening in your life. Sigh….
hey Ash! i found your blog through facebook a while back. love to see you and your kids on here. crazy that i will get to know them better online, but i will take what i can get! anyway, i have to tell you to get a copy of Taking Charge of your Fertility. it has a chapter on the science of “trying” for a boy or girl. that is how we got Eden! of course it is not fool proof, but i know a lot of people who swear by it! if you decide you want a third child anyway (that was us) then why not go for a boy? either way, it sure can be fun to try…. that might convince Adam! love you, cuz.
