With everyone around me getting pregnant, I must remind myself why I don't want another baby. By the way, I had a friend who told me when her baby was a newborn, don't let me forget how hard this is, I am NOT having another one. She is now 3 months pregnant with her 3rd child. So lists like this are good little reminders.
1. Waking up 6 times in an 8 hour period is not fun. ( Oh and that's just to pee when you are pregnant... sleep is non-existent once the baby is born)
2. Being so massively pregnant that your neighbor actually asks if you are having twins sucks.
3. Labor and delivery
4. The combination of no showers and spit up is gross.
5. Driving in a car with your baby screaming, while you well up with tears and are seconds away from sobbing because you are emotionally out of whack is hazardous to all.
Now the list of things I do not want to remember:
1. Babies are beautiful
2. They are so freakin adorable the way they curl up on your chest to sleep.
3. Coos, Smiles, and Yawns, there is nothing cuter.
4. Honestly, what's not to love
I can't deny it, this somehow will always out way the rough patches... sigh. But after much consideration, I will just coo over all the new babies... I think I'm happy right where I am.
