It was James

He's sleeping on our bed - but I dare not open the door. Anyway, we had a good morning. Played here for a while, watched the snow flurries (praying they wouldn't stick), made a meal for a new mom and us (double recipe, ka-ching....or ka-chow for all you Lightning McQueen fans), then went to the Heritage Farm Museum. It was our whole Wednesday playgroup - 8 moms, 16 kids - plus our friend Theresa and her son Evan. There were also two in utero babies there, both of whom are expected soon. We are all excited for the new arrivals.

The museum was awesome! A pretend store with fake food to play with, some fake horses to ride on, a fake cow you could "milk" (although it was water that came out, so I guess you could "water" the cow), etc. Because there were enough of us there, we were able to have a "tea party" - coffee, tea, hot cocoa and cookies. What a perfect way to spend a rainy and very cold Wednesday. I didn't take photos but Elizabeth over at "Boys Gone Wild" was taking them, so check out her blog later to see if she's posting them there. :) Hint hint EH!

A few of us were there late and talking about subsequent pregnancies and when they would happen. All of us have two boys already. I keep on thinking about this and pondering and changing my mind. Yes, I think I want another baby. Would I like a girl? Of course. Would I be upset if it were another boy? Of course not. The more important issue is WHEN. I'm tired right now. I have no time to myself. I don't forsee this changing until the boys are in school full time. So do we want to move forward while we're in the thick of things? Or give it some time? I desperately want some time to get my body back once Nate is weaned (at most 18 months old). So maybe 6 months after that, when Nate is 2? Who knows. Part of me would like to NOT stress or think about getting pregnant. I was so worried about getting pregnant with James because it took a while. So I was stressed and panicked. And then, when we thought about getting pregnant with Nate, I was thinking we should jump in and try in earnest immediately. After a month I was wondering when it would happen - and then it did shortly thereafter. I guess my point is, I sort of just want it to happen and be surprised. We'll see. Right now I'm concentrating on enjoying my time with the boys as they are right now. I think I spend too much time worrying about the future and not living in the present. As part of my New Year's resolutions, I was going to spend more time in the present. So I'm off to do that. :)
