Now this entry was written not quite a year ago. It was October 20 to be exact. The difference? Well read it yourself.

I made the fatal mistake of reading reviews and articles before watching a single episode of the show. I knew full well I would watch every episode regardless. I read anyway. Spoilers? Not bothered. Let me give some back story here. At 17/18 my dream had been to go to a big city (Chicago was my thinking at the time), get my degree in journalism/editing/publishing and go work at a big time magazine. Keep in mind we are talking about the mid 90's here so the idea that magazines would cease to be relevant was not even on my radar. I had been editor of my high school yearbook and unbeknownst to me at the time, we were actually doing the yearbook by coding and would get printouts hoping we had coded copy correctly. I just typed the copy I was supposed to type with the weird little codes that had been given to me on a piece of paper. I would later discover this was actually HTML code we were doing. Who knew?

Judy posted a comment about being jealous at two weekends away from the kids. About how she figured it would be a long time before she got that chance. I have to admit, I thought better her than me to have the new baby. After our two weekends away and Mark joking that it was his ploy to convince me to not have anymore, I have to say.....I think it worked. After thinking about it and being able to get away so easily because the kids are bigger, I could not help but think, why go back and do it all again? If you had a choice between going out of town for the weekend or being stuck, tied down to a newborn who was feeding from your breasts every two hours and waking every three ,which would you choose? To which one might say why ever have kids at all.....fine. I have TWO. I have done it TWICE. Not only that, but for anyone who cares about it, I have one of each. One is almost seven, the other almost three. Granted Davis is not potty trained yet, but he does change his own diaper sometimes...

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,
