Sounds like a great plan! We had always planned on 2, but #3 came along without our permission. : ) And now I wonder how I ever thought my life was full without her in it. There is something to be said for accepting that you don’t have final word, and sometimes the things that are best for you, they just happen, whichever way they come out.

That picture is adorable. Amazing that he’s turning three. My oldest is just about to turn 7, and I’m a little horrified. It seems like there’s not enough time to spend at each particular age, because it’s gone so fast. Fortunately I know you’re making enough memories that you will all remember his first three years with love and joy.

Congratulations! I was terrified, when I was pregnant with my second child, that I would never be able to love anyone as much as I loved my oldest. People tried to reassure me, but it was pretty meaningless. Fortunately, as they told me it would, my heart just made room for more. It’s an amazing feeling to realize you can love another person as much as you love your first child, when you never thought you could love anyone that much at all.

I’m so glad you’re both home and healthy and I look forward to learning all about little Maxwell!

For my husband, and for no one else, I am willing to pretend that I find all sports fascinating: “why, yes, I can’t wait to see who will win this college basketball game, even though I just put the kids to bed and I am going fall asleep very soon myself.” And I will even agree to stop asking stupid questions about the sport so that he can actually enjoy it–while I smile, nod, and read my book. : )

Comment on To Clip or Not to Clip… that is the question by Kendra

I’m sure this decision is made some time ago now, but I wanted to let you know that as a day care provider, I’ve now seen two kids who had to had their tongues clipped (both infants with similar troubles to Addison’s–nursing trouble, latching frustration). Both were clipped when they were a few months old (both also ended up on bottles, though that was before the clipping; I don’t know if doing it earlier would have made nursing more successful? I can’t really speculate), and both had no trouble at all. I know that I had each them here within a day or two of having it done, and the babies were no more distressed than after immunizations.

I don’t have a tongue-clipping agenda and would certainly want to do more research than “I know somebody who knows somebody” if it were me, but I hope it helps to know that, scary as it sounds, I’ve personally seen success stories and babies who seemed pretty unfazed.

That’s not too terrible of a plan. =) Hormonal contraception is obnoxious sometimes, and I particularly hate the mini-pill for a myriad of reasons. You guys look so adorable all snuggled together as a family of 4.

I am just doing it so you can have another cute brown baby to snuggle
But seriously. I doubt I will get pregnant.

I’m pretty sure that Isaiah already knows how to drive. And make quiche.
