What's even better is being pregnant again. I'm about 23 weeks into it now, and I'm almost ashamed to say I haven't purchased a single item for this baby. Seriously. Not even a sleeper. At first, I was waiting to find out the gender, but now that I know...I still haven't found anything that interests me. Maybe I'm just too busy to worry about stuff like that, or maybe I just realize that babies require far less than we believe they do.
Perry and I have already agreed that the biggest waste of space piece of furniture is a changing table. That won't re-enter our house this time around.
I am pretty excited to go through all of Calvin's baby clothes. I'm fairly certain there are a few sleepers that were never used, so I'll make sure to put them on our new baby boy.
I feel like we've gotten the most crucial roadblock out of the way: we've chosen a name...and even his middle name! Choosing a name for a boy isn't easy, but this time, we've had many names we both liked. There is always the possibility that it could change, but I got a strange sign last night that told me we have picked the right name. I'll tell you what it was after he's born.
My favorite pastime now is watching A Baby Story on TLC. I mainly like watching it to laugh at first time moms and their lofty expectations of delivery...as if you really have any control over it. Ha!
I can tell you right now that I am terrified of the impending C-section. I remember telling myself after Calvin was born that we wouldn't have another until I could forget how horrible it is to have a C-section. Yes, there's a baby to be excited about, but C-sections hurt. It's not fun. So, I must have forgotten at the time. I remember now. Ugh.
Luckily, I have 16 weeks to think about it. ;)
