Last night I met a new friend. Let me preface this by saying I have made exactly ONE new friend in the last ten years. This makes number two. My Babycenter and Blogging friend Amanda , was having a conference in KC. We made plans to meet up. I felt a bit odd. Here I was making plans to meet someone I only knew from the Net. But Mark thought it was perfectly great and even said for me to stay out as long as I wanted. He said it was not as if I was meeting up with someone I saw often. Stay out and talk and have fun. So I did. I made plans to meet with Amanda. I knew we had a lot in common. Both from the board and from reading her blog. I knew she was someone who if she lived closer to me we could hang out. But I was a bit apprehensive. Here was someone who only knew me through the computer. So many what if's , right? Mark was actually the one who said I should meet with her, if only for a little while. So, I picked Amanda up at her hotel and off we went to Fooleries. Great place to ...

Hope you're feeling well!
Well, I've been all over the place on how many kids I wanted, when, etc. The funny thing is when I was a little girl, I said I wanted 6, and had them names (but don't like those names anymore), 3 of each. So far, between us, Eric and I have 4 (2 of "ours," and 1 each prior), and 2 of each sex. We think we want two more, someday, so I may end up with my 6 kids after all.
And you're still young, and there will be lots of weekends away. Heck, before long your daughter can babysit for the younger ones, right? LOL
Judy, if we have more, it will be ONE more. I would wait another 3 years before trying again, putting all the kids almost 4 years apart. I would be having the last one around 35. And that would be the end. So we would have a 12 yo, 8 yo, 4 yo and newborn. SCARY.
I do however have a niece that is already almost 15. So she can be hit up for sitting duty. And my sister is not old either, though older than me obviously with a 14 yo child. She is really good about taking on more kids (she has 3).
But yea, 35 would be the end. I am closing shop after that.
How are you feeling?
I've been checkin in every day looking for updates. How are you feeling?? You're in the homes stretch - don't leave us hanging!
Wishing you well,
