I wish we'd gotten started a bit sooner - whenever I bring up the subject of another, hubs reminds me he doesn't want to have to leave a nursing home to attend the littlest's graduation! (silly man, I told him the kiddos would keep him young, no?!) ;) I’ve been having similar thoughts, though I’m pretty sure this will be our last pregnancy, so I’m trying to be especially mindful of treasuring all the little kicks and turns…I’ve loved being pregnant both times, though this one included much more morning sickness the first trimester.

I voted for Lila as the name b/c I think Lila Bella Parlaman is a name that has potential for greatness. Or, Lila Belle Parlaman. It just flows and sounds like someone who will be famous.

I see you're holding PP. Doesn't that just freak other people out when you pick up your first born?! I gave Princess a big hug and picked her up when I dropped her off at day care the other day and I thought the adults in the room were going to lose their eyeballs.

But I also wondered if it would be the last time when I was pregnant with Princess since it isn't the easiest getting me pregnant. I think my blog has helped a lot. Even though I haven't been writing about this pregnancy as much as I wanted to our thought I would I've documented a lot more than I ever did when I was pregnant with Princess. And according to my doctor I've got 2 weeks to go at the most. This morning she checked after doing the strep swab and told me I'm 1-2 cm dilated already. I can't believe we'll be a family of 4 sometime in the next week or two! Hope you're not melting in GA! On the few hot days I've had to experience I've been miserable. So even though it is now July and it is raining with temps barely making it to 70 degrees I refuse to complain. I’ve found myself contemplating the exact same question about once every few weeks.

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 13:18:38 +0000 http://blog.gracobaby.com/?p=3644#comment-4033 I am glad to see you are doing well, Melissa! I have had many of the same feelings as you. With my first (Lovey), things went pretty well. With my second (who is now already 4 months old!) we had some pretty big scares early on...the first ultrasound revealed a rather large cyst on the umbilical cord suggesting all sorts of scary stuff. Because of my age, they had me do a bunch of genetic testing even though I told them that I would not make any "selection" decisions according to the results. When the cyst miraculously resolved itself, they discovered that I was at risk for placenta previa so I had to discontinue my work travel and really take it easy for several months. Needless to say, she is beautiful and perfect and all the worrying turned out to be unfounded-it is easy to talk about having a strong faith but when it comes right down to it... My husband and I have decided that we are done. I have had several emotional moments in realizing that I will never take part in such a wonderful miracle again...but I also realize just how blessed I am to have the two beautiful girls that I have been charged with.

We have two little girls also (a 2 1/2 year old and a 3 1/2 month old). I was blessed to have had two healthy pregnancies and deliveries, except that I had MISERABLE (as in "throwing-up-nonstop-all-day-long-and-losing-weight" sick) morning sickness for the first four months of each. During this last pregnancy, both my husband and I were about 98% sure that it would be our last. But now - 3 months later - we're not so sure. This second baby has been pure joy and who is to say that another one wouldn't be equally sweet and delightful? Hi Melissa!

The health risks are just too great for me to go through it again. If I were one of those women who can have blissful healthy pregnancies and easy breezy deliveries, I'd probably have an army of kids. But it's not in the cards for me.... My last was my last.
