One year.

Just had to say Cupcake's last post made 200 entries on this blog.

How are we doing ladies?

I haven't been doing that great, personally. But ...

We had a pregnancy scare over the weekend. This could be total TMI, but I still haven't had a monthly since Mojo was born in July. He'll be 8 months old on Wednesday. I am still breast feeding him, which surely explains the delay, but it's longer than I went without a monthly with Kiddo, so it worried me. Then some other things happened that made me think, "Oh, crap, I'm pregnant." I went to Wally's in the middle of the night, came home and took a test, and it was negative. Both relieved and sad, just weird.

So I talked to hubby about the timing of our next baby. He said it's completely up to me. That even though the pregnancy wasn't easy on either of us, he hadn't changed his mind on how many kids he wanted or anything, and that I just have to make up my mind when I'm ready.

I decided that, unless the Spirit intervenes or we have a surprise in the interim, I'll be ready in a year. HAHAHA. Okay, hear me out.

In the last couple of months, I have tackled quitting Pepsi entirely and haven't had any caffeine (except the occasional dairy free chocolate) since. I have started walking more as the weather has warmed up. I'm doing more around the house. And I feel better overall about our financial situation, although that could be better too.

So I'm giving myself a year to get some diet and exercise habits firmly in place, be more active in church and doing more churchy things at home, get our family on a firmer financial footing (meaning, paying off debt and hopefully buying a used minivan), and just continue enjoying my kids. In a year, I should be healthier physically, mentally, financially, and spiritually ... and ready to try for another baby.

Maybe I'm crazy. But it just might work ...
