All right...I am a little surprised to admit this but I am starting to really miss being pregnant. Am I crazy? My sweet baby is 8 weeks old tomorrow and I am already starting to count the months until I will be ready to get pregnant again. The way I am feeling right now I wonder if I will be able to wait that long. It is official...I AM CRAZY!!!
I didn't love the first trimester of pregnancy but I really enjoyed being pregnant and how special it is to be growing a person inside. I miss feeling the movement of my baby and I even miss the cute maternity outfits. As I told Marenda, I just thought of my belly as a temporary fashon accessory, so it was fun to accessorize with my belly. :) I love being Talia's mom so much but it is a bit easier (so far) than I thought it would be. Maybe I am just really lucky, or maybe I was bracing myself for an extremely difficult child. I am sure my perspective will change as Talia grows and gets to be more mobile and therefore more trouble.
I can just see my sisters and sisters-in-law reading this and shaking their heads. Especially those of you with multiple children who miss the quiet days when you had only one child. What can I say...call me naive if you want but I like my naivety. It works for me. :)
I look forward to what motherhood has in store for me!

I wouldn't call it naive - sounds like motherhood in all its stages suits you. It's just not that easy for many of the rest of us. It's hard for me to relate to the ease of your pregnancy, birth, recovery and first weeks and I admit I envy that ease. But I say more power to you, keep them coming!
Kari,
Thanks for your confidence in me! I am sure that I will, in the near future, be calling you in tears because I am overwhelmed. Then I will say..."What was I thinking, and how do you do it with two little girls?" I am sure that the fact that they are adorable helps! ;) By the way you can never put too many pictures of your kids on your blog! :)
Yeah. Coming from someone who is currently pregnant, you sound slightly crazy. :-) Especially because I didn't think your pregnancy was particularly easy--you were just so grateful for it that you didn't dare complain. And when Talia is two or six, you may be pulling your hair out about behavior issues, BUT your naivity--or rather optimism--isn't a bad thing. If anything, it will help you through the challenging times. So keep on loving every bit of this journey that you can. (Just don't look down on those of us who need to whine every once in a while--I have been fighting a headache all day! :-))
