So my hubby and I talked quite a bit this weekend, and have decided to not take measures against growing our family again.  I want another baby and have  for a while.  Then last month, despite our efforts, I was almost convinced I was pregnant.  Late and achy but not preggo.  So then the night after I go my period I had a dream about a future baby.  Her name was Jessica, but in my dream I called her Jess.  We chose to have her in the hospital in my dream because of complications with the delivery.  Then she wouldn't eat.  Then I woke up and looked for her in my bed next to me because it was such a real dream.  Now I feel like I had a baby Jess and suddenly don't.  So weird.  But I am worried that maybe I should pay attention to my dream and carefully monitor this pregnancy.  I have never had complications before, though.

So, now we are ready for another baby.  I am so excited and ready, even though it will be lots of work.  I have three already.  A two year old and twin one year olds.  If I get pregnant right away the twins will be almost two and that is not too close together, is it?  To add to that, we are planning on moving around the first of the year.  We are moving away from family and they are going to really struggle with the move.  And struggle even more with the fact that we are pregnant and moving away.  My parents are soooo close to my kids and they will be sad that they won't have the chance to get to know the next babies like they know the first three.  I am not sure how to make it easier on them.  My family was raised that you just don't move away from family.  My husband was raised that you can move wherever you want to and visit family and still maintain close relationships with everyone.  My hubby and I are excited about the move but nervous for the effect on the children.  The house we are renting now is the only home they have ever known.  Will they be o.k.?  Will it hurt them to move away from grandma and papa?  We are planning on letting my kids go be with grandma and grandpa every other weekend (sorta like custody rights) to help make it easier on everyone, but gas is spendy and that will require a lot of driving as we are moving about 6 hours away.  Oh well.  The things we do to appease our family.
