This meme came at the perfect time!
Why?
Because I have the fever!
The baby fever!
Oh Lawd.
After I had my daughter I was certain I wasn’t having anymore babies and I couldn’t figure out how the parents of more than one got to the place where they wanted more.
The weight of being a new mother, breastfeeding, sleepless nights, and attempting to wrap my head around the incredible responsibility in front of me had me swearing off all future children.
And then I found out I was drowning from Post Pardum Depression.
So I fought.
Hard.
And I won.
I found out what it’s like to be a mother without PPD dragging me down.
Light, relaxing, and enjoyable.
There’s a future.
And I want to do it again.

Note: I am not pregnant nor am I trying to get pregnant at this time.
I have a wedding to plan people!!
But I will hold your baby, rock your baby, smell your baby, buy your baby
I know! I know! The fever strikes me sometimes and I know we’re done. I adore your bump pictures. You’re lovely. And this post? Perfect. XO
Thank you Galit. I wondered what it would feel like to want another. Now I know. I want it bad. I have to wait. But I’m glad I have that want.
I can connect completely with your post. I love reading your words. I’m so glad you started a blog. I remember you talking to us and saying you weren’t sure you would be any good, having hesitations. Your blog/vlog is my favorite thing to read these days. I’m so glad you started and are continuing:) You are a wonderful writer. I love how you are so honest and share so openly with us.
Xo
Oh my friend I love you too. Thank you for your words! They mean more than you could ever know. Xo
You are gorgeous. I wish I was pregnant all the time. Seriously. I loved being pregnant.
Thank you! I loved my belly. It had a purpose. Now it’s just fat.
Buy your baby…. clothes.
You crack me up.
When are you having more! Maybe it’ll be twins again
so… i should not give away my baby clothes????!!!
No!!!! I’m having more!! Lol
I totally called this one!!! I knew you had baby fever! All those glares and trying to look at baby toes!!! Too cute! You do make beauitful babies! Let’s plan your wedding 🙂
You make beautiful babies too. Now go have another one
My sister is due in 4 weeks. I can’t wait to get my fix, because I’m “jonesing” too. My babies are 2years apart and it’s a lot of work, but they are great friends (most of the time).
Wow you go girl! I debated whether I wanted mine close like that but I don’t. Also? I now have a wedding to plan. Yay for your sister!!
yep yep yep. very familiar territory. i’m done but i have def been where you are now. enjoy it. even if you decide not to have another sometimes it’s just fun to think about it…to imagine it.
I know we’ll have another but not right now. I do love to think about it though.
I was beginning to have baby fever . . . again . . . so we got a puppy. No more fever. 🙂
Enjoy yours, though! You looked fab!!
Stopping by from Shell’s . . .
Maybe that’s what we need. A puppy!! No. No. That’s crazy talk.
come on overrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Lmao. I’ve been trying to get there to hold that bebe.
So busy trying to get our house ready, and babysitting, Im exhausted!! perhaps this weekend?
This linky is going to give me the fever, too! Though, I’m with you- I just want to hold others’ babies, not have one again! 🙂
Thanks for joining in!
I eventually want another. Just not quite yet.
I get the fever, then the baby wakes up randomly during the night and I’m cured for awhile. But the bump link up has me feeling feverish again, so maybe we’ll give it the old college try, eh?
BTW, I love the pic of you and the pup.
That’s my friends dog. She was very clingy when I was pregnant and now she’s got a special friendship with my daughter!!
You sound like me. Why would anyone want to do this again??? Of course my daughter is only 5 months old, so I’ve still got the deer-in-the-headlights look. We’ll see if anything changes.
I understand your PPD struggle. Going through a bit of a spell myself. (hugs)
Believe me when I tell you there is light at the end of the ppd tunnel. I had it bad. Really bad. I’m just now, 14 months later, starting to feel Luke myself. I’m here if you need to talk.
The fever gets me too. I would have more kids if my husband hadn’t had a certain procedure done!
I am glad he did though! I can’t imagine another pregnancy!
I’m just having trouble waiting. We are going to wait until after the wedding. But I so want to be pregnant. Kinda.
Aww you were so cute with your pregnant belly.
Thanks. I loved it.
Look at you so adorable with little S in your tummy. I can’t believe you have the fever!!! Why don’t I just save you the trouble and give you one of mine?
Yippee! But how do I choose!? Just send them all.
Looking at these pics sure to make your remember how excited I felt to feel the baby move…I know…need to wait to have next one! Love your bump pics and thanks for stopping by my blog 🙂
And thank you!!
Sweet post. I get the baby fever all.the.time!
Is it contagious cause I’m catching it from someone!!!
I”m running a temp too! Haha!
You’ve inspired my post for today, friend!
You were a super cute pregnant lady and now you’re a hot mama!
Oh I love you!! Sending you happy thoughts
Ah the fever. Thankfully I no longer have it! Good luck with the wedding and the future bumps. 🙂
Thank you. I always wondered when ppl know they’re done. I guess you just know.
Be careful of the fever! We were so not having anymore babies. Then I held one and missed it so much. But we we’re done…or so I thought. Baby number 4 is due in 10 days! YIKES!
That’s number four!!!!! You’re gorgeous!!
I have it too!!! 3 boys running around here driving me batty and I want to throw a baby into the mix? I musta lost my marbles!!! But they’re soooooo cute!!!
Do it Just do it
I have the fever like… every time I have a baby and they start growing too big to be newborns anymore. It’s ridiculous considering I have 4 kids, plus 2 from SO’s previous marriage. I should be committed, especially since they drive me near homicidal almost every single day.
I think it’s more that I love being pregnant… 9 months of nausea aside (never the throwing up, just the constant want to throw up so I’d feel better – the only time I felt semi-human was when I would eat, which explains a 50lb weight gain for every pregnancy), it’s an amazing experience.
Obviously, I am not a good salesperson. LOL
I will be linking up once my desktop PC is hooked up and functional!
Omg youve just described my pregnancy. I can’t throw up. I wanted to but can’t I miss pregnancy.
Oh I can relate. My fever? Through the roof right now! I love being pregnant and so want to do it all over again.
Beautiful post!!
Yay I’m not alone. This meme isn’t helping. Waiting sucks.
You rocked it hon! Love your baby bump.
Baby fever? Hello, I’m burning hot with that right now!!!!
I so know you are. I think I caught it from you
Cute pictures!
Thanks Carina!!
Love the bump! I felt the same way. I wasn’t ready at first and then it just hits you. Glad you fought and you’re ready again.
Thank you!! Im glad I fought too.
You are brave, girl! PPD did it to me bad enough that I never want to do it again!
Oh mama. Ppd is a bitch
