Colin and I were so busy visiting with my mom last week that I never even thought about blogging. We had a great time and I was sorry her visit was so short. Joe's mom is here this week and she's...not my mom. That could require a separate post on the Constance blog, if you know what I'm saying.
Colin and my mom, Grandmarf, hanging out watching what not to wear
Grandmarf took plenty of pictures while she was here. She's totally enamored of her grandson.
And now, let's tell me that I'm crazy since earlier today I caught myself doing the math on when I would be due if I got pregnant next month. Um, Colin will be one month old this Friday. I'm mildly insane, right? Let's blame the hormones. Joe asked me the other day if I was ready for another baby and I believe my response was something like "why not, I'm up most of the night anyway." Gah!
But seriously, I think this is a result of it taking so long for me to get pregnant with Colin. I was in the 'must. get. knocked. up' phase for so long that I just really haven't gotten out of it. Even while I was pregnant I kept thinking about how to get pregnant again. I'm pretty sure the medical community frowns on pregnancies so close together, but people do it right? And I'm nursing and it took a year the first time, so I don't really need to use contraception, right?
Can I also mention that when my midwife asked what I planned on using for contraception I mumbled something about my husband being in the military and my not seeing him for awhile and then like three days later as I was driving home from the grocery store thought "Condoms! Condoms was the answer to that question."
And then found a lone condom in my nightstand as I was looking for some thank you notes and thought, hmm I should keep this handy. And then walked past condoms at the grocery store and considered buying some but didn't. And then mentioned condoms to Joe who said "enh, we don't really need them right?"
Anyway la la la ignore my insanity and scroll back up and ogle some baby toes. Nom nom nom!

Well, people DO have them that close together, yes, but I'd give your body a little longer than a MONTH to recover before you impregnate it again! And breastfeeding is only a fail safe contraceptive if you are consistently nursing every two hours. Just fyi.
I'm just amazed you're thinking about sex already, let alone baby-making sex! ;)
P.S. Not judging at all about the pregnancy thoughts. It's totally normal, and happened to me both times I had newborns and to everyone else I know. It's some whacked out hormonal thing. Your body misses being pregnant. FOR SOME UNFATHOMABLE REASON.
Baby toes!!!!
I have a friend that took 3 yes to get of and only then with medical help. She considered herself infertile so was not worried. Their first time "back in the saddle" she got pg and now has kids 10 months apart. They are 3/4 now and she is just getting her body back.
Follow your heart but don't make yourself crazy. Hormones are potent stuff!!
"why not, I'm up most of the night anyway."
You're so cute.
