Number DEUX

I am now 17 months and 2 weeks postpartum. That seems like a long time but it feels like only a few months ago I was driving home with a 2 day old little baby in a white Polo onesie and a Nike beanie. I must say that the first year is hard especially if you are a working mom that chooses to exclusively breastfeed for a year. I have no regrets of the choices I have made so far with Colton ( except for not being at home with him everyday).

I look forward to adding a few more angels to my family..that is what I have always called my loves, angels. Anyways, I am just trying to decide now when a good time to start. I really would like for my children to be about 3 years apart. However, my last pregnancy put me on strict bed rest for about 3 months. Not only was I on bed rest I had a 24 hr pump in my leg of meds and I had to monitor my contractions twice a day for an hour. It would break my heart if I had to do this again and not be able to even hold Colton. I feel like it would be selfish to get pregnant now and not be able to care for Colton. But, I feel like I am ready to start planning for number DEUX!!!  I know every pregnancy is different so I will just have to trust God.
