Obligatory New Year's Resolutions

1. Remember to take my vitamins. This is surprisingly more difficult than it should be. I can't take them in the morning with my thyroid medicine and so I completely blank on it the rest of the day

having kiddos isn't scary. the THOUGHT of them is. i realized after having carter that it's MUCH better than you ever think... they TOTALLY just mesh into your schedule. no one can ever be 100% ready when they don't have the kid yet, but you get that way... its why you have 9 months to prepare!

LOL, I figured you'd say something along those lines. ;-)

OK, maybe not scary, but I know it's exhausting. I imagine it will be easier with my own children than it was with Jimi's kid, but I like sleeping in on the weekends... and being able to go out without finding a babysitter... etc. It's certainly life-changing, which makes it slightly scary.

ok, yes you are correct, it is exhausting, LOL.
it is easier with your own kid, but yea, it does change everything. but for the better :)
and yea, the babysitter thing is a drag, but isn't it worth it?

[erica_roo]

but isn't it worth it?

I don't know... and I won't know until after we have kids. That's the problem... there aren't exchanges or refunds on kids! ;-)

See, you need to get John to convince Adam that kids are fantastic because I'm pretty much there. If Adam were excited about the prospect, it would make things much easier.

[johnsbride03]

i guess that's true :) you don't know until you have them! ha!
you could always sell them to gypsies....

i'll have john give adam a little pep talk :)

[erica_roo]

Yeah right. If my dad ever gets a grandchild, he won't allow it to be sold to the gypsies even if he only sees the grandbaby twice a year. LOL
