6 months and totally freaked out.... :)
So I haven't been reading any baby books this time around, because I really just don't have time and don't think about it much. Last night I got my book out though to see what this crazy jumping child is up to these days. I opened up to week 23, and there it was in big huge letters....The Sixth Month. Holy cow! Six months! You only are pregnant for NINE! And thus the freak out moment began. I've been thinking about how life is going to change once baby two comes into this world. Mainly I've been selfish and been thinking about all the things I'M not going to be able to do easily with two children. Right now, Mason and I get out a little everyday to run to the office, run errands, just do whatever we want to get out of the house a bit. It's fairly easy and he's a pretty good companian to lug around whereever I want to go. But having TWO??? This won't be so easy. Mason hates the stroller while on errands and this will only get worse I'm sure. So I'll have one in a carrier and then Mason who just wants to run and play and explore? How is that going to work? How will I survive the "quick errand?" Am I going to become one of those mom's that just waits until a MDO day to do everything? I feel like I already do that. I'm going to get stir crazy. Good thing I love my house. I know I'll figure it out, but having one is going to be way easier than having two. Even when it comes to dropping Mason off at Tk's for a bit, it's a bit harder to lug two kids and all their crud over there for a just a quick dinner or meeting or whatever it is. I don't know. I know it'll work out and I'll get used to it, but I could have gotten used to the idea of being five months pregnant a little longer, not six. Six sounds like it's right around the corner, which it is! But I'm not sure I'm ready. I'm scared. I'm nervous. I'm selfish. I didn't feel this way with Mason. I knew Mason would be an adventure that Ryon and I were ready for. But with two kids....oh geeze. We will handle it. I will handle it. I may just need starbucks or a sweet tea more often than I do now :)

Or you can just call me to a) watch them while you run out or b) have me run your errand for you. ;)
