We get it a lot.
Usually on Sundays.
It happened twice today.

THE QUESTION -
When are you going to have another baby?

Over the last few months, that question has become very familiar to both Josh and I, but mostly to me. I have been asked by family. I have been asked by friends. I have been asked by acquaintances and friends of friends. I have even been asked by strangers.

One Sunday I was asked in front of an audience of people in the green room backstage. I felt like everyone stopped and was staring at me waiting for my reply. (Intimidating!)

My response - Soon!
That is what I always say.

Yes, we do have plans for another baby.
No, this is not an announcement!

Josh and I decided right at a year ago that we were going to wait until Alyse was a little older. The plan is to be pregnant around her 2nd birthday (in March). I would also like to have a "fall baby". So, I think that in the beginning of next year (2009 - only a few months away), you may get the announcement that you are expecting.

But for now, I am just going to keep responding "Soon".

    I have to comment. We planned to get pregnant when Nathan was about 2 and we were about 2 months after. Mathew was born about 6 weeks before Nathan turned 3 and I have loved the age difference. It's enough that when Matthew was really little Nathan could help a little, but nobody expected too much of him, and now that they're a little olde they have some of the same interests. It's odd to think if we wanted #3 (and I desperately do someday) the same defferece as #1 and #2, that I should be pregnant right now. Yikes! I'm SOOO not ready for that!

    Anyways, best of luck, and remember, no matter what anyone thinks, only you and Josh know what's right for your family, but I just wanted to give you my perspective.
