knocked up
So I'm barefoot and pregnant again. When we talked in the past about spacing our kids we always agreed that we wanted the babies close in age. EDA is April 6 so Colin and baby will be about 21 months apart. I should be thrilled. And I guess, I am now. But to be honest, when I first found out I was pregnant, I started freaking out. All of a sudden it was way too soon to have a second. I mean, seriously, what were we thinking. Things with Colin are just starting to get easier. He's walking on his own. He's starting to communicate. He's sleeping through the night!! He's practically self-suffiicient (not). But now, our world is going to be once again, flipped inside out with a new baby. No more sleeping through the night (Although I haven't slept through the night in 13 weeks). No more eating out. No more going out... wait, we haven't gone out since Colin was around.... regardless, it'll be tough! And scary!
But the worst part is I'm not going to Hawaii! This coming birthday I turn the big 3-0. I convinced my parents and Dr Evil to go to Hawaii during the week of my birthday. Now I can't go cuz I'll probably deliver some time that week. Boohoo! When I look back I know I'll be so much happier with the memories of my new baby than without... but right now... I'll lament in my Hawaii-less sorrow.
Now that I've had some time to accept the fact that there is a baby on the way with or without my consent, I'm getting excited. What do you think of Caitlin for a girl or Dylan for a boy?
Remember the hundreds of photos we took of my pregnant belly when I was carrying Colin? We haven't taken even one this time around. Not even born and already neglected.

i still don't want a baby....like ever....but probably will be planning one next year. shrugs.
i'm making sure to "hawaii" out of the way before a baby. if things go well i'll be in hawaii this thanksgiving!
omg Susie congratss!!! this is awesome news!!!!!!! =*)
omg congrats~ baby #2!!! maybe you'll have an adorable quirky little girl like yourself this time around~
wow, that does seem soon, yet 20 or so months apart doesn't seem terribly close in age. both names sound great with Colin! aw.
don't worry, hawaii will always be there. number 2 only comes once in a lifetime.
dylan is okay, but there's too much reference to 90210.
how about Plaxico for boy, Beyonce for girl
congrats! i luv the baby names you choose. colin was right up there with aidan for us and caitlin was our girl name. you have such good taste in baby names!
don't worry, you can always goto hawaii when they are older.
congrats! u're younger than i thought
and at first, i thought EDA was the name of ur son ... haha
congrats again!! i like the name caitlin. it's one of the names i had in the back of my mind for if/when i ever had a girl... but niece caitlin has a nice ring and goes well with colin (the double c's and "lin").
Congrats...good news
@gilimonster - I already feel like an old lady... but how old did you think I was?!?!

However absolutely your own utterances should be wise
