I'm a wibbly wibbler
So. I've been contemplating kid #3 for a while now. I think I posted about that before? IDK. I mean, Jason wasn't leaning toward more biological children before, and we discussed how the adoption process works around here with our neighbor, who adopted her daughter. We wouldn't mind if it was an older kid rather than a baby, so she had suggested contacting the county office for more info if we wanted to. (It turns out that I've worked with her a few times for some patients, and it's my neighbor's cousin. Yep. Small towns...) We didn't really actively pursue it, if only because Jason didn't seem terribly enthusiastic. There's the financials to consider, and that my teeny car really can't fit two carseats and a preschooler. You know, little dinky things like that.
The idea wouldn't let go, though. Even with Maddy being a frustrating, tantrumy mess. Like last night, when she wouldn't read and would fidget or stick her fingers in her mouth/nose/ears/whatever to avoid trying to do it and wound up on a few time outs for not listening. ::facepalm:: How did she get to be such a whiner? IDK. But it wasn't enough to put me off the idea of another child, and Jason just said he'd support whatever decision I wanted to make, never mind the financials. Of course Maddy wants a baby sister to play with. heh. I don't think she really understood what I was trying to tell her this morning, where I said Jason and I need to talk about how to go about that. I put it as growing another baby or asking a child that didn't have parents to join our family. She didn't seem to care one way or another, but insisted she wants a sister to play with. I see where her priorities are. lol.
Wibbling about which way to go. If we go the biological route, I need to get rid of the Mirena. If I schedule an appt to do that soon and start trying, there will be a baby next summer. If I wait until my next GYN appt, then there will be a baby in 2015. Or if we adopt, there's the whole foster parent classes we have to do first, then working with either the county or an agency to adopt, likely by next year. Of course I ask Jason what his preference is, and he just shrugs.
So yeah, I'm a wibbling wibbly wibbler about this. And not having a patient in my office right now means I still get to wibble a bit about it by sending an e-mail to DW. ::throws up hands:: Well, it's either that or write more in my reversebang. I already have 21 pages in it, and I only started writing it a few days ago. ^^;
