The Itch...

I have a confession to make. Sometimes I watch shows like "Deliver Me" or "A Baby Story" and I get what I call the pregnancy itch. For whatever reason, these shows make me all sentimental and I start thinking about having another child someday...and before anyone goes there - no, I am not pregnant and no, we are not trying either! So, now that we have that out in the open...I don't really understand why this happens to me. Does anyone else ever get like this? I think back to my last pregnancy and it was very tough going the first 4 months and then some. I was not a happy camper. But then I look at my little girl and all of that seems so minor. I have almost forgotten how miserable it was. I guess it is like breaking up with someone and suddenly all you can think of are all the good times you had - not the times when he didn't call or when he made you cry...only the good stuff. Being pregnant is such an amazing experience. The only thing better is being able to watch your little ones grow into their own little people each day. That said, do I want another baby or will I be able to ingore the itch? I am so happy and so blessed with Evan and Avery. I could stop now and be totally happy. On the other hand, you never know what life might have in store down the road. But both Bull and I agree, the next time I really start to feel the itch - we're getting a dog!
