I went to that sale at Sobey's yesterday morning (50% off the entire store because they're closing) but the place was pretty empty. It was so creepy seeing a store that empty. It felt like shopping at the end of the world or something. I did manage to find a few random things like cheese, enough dishwasher tabs to last us months, hair dye (almost time to dye the grey out again) and a few things for the kids like oatmeal biscuits and training pants. One thing they had a lot of was ice cream bars which I bought a couple boxes of because normally I wouldn't pay $7 for a small box of Haagen Dazs but $3.50? Sure why not lol. In the end I spent $50 and obviously saved $50.
I keep thinking about babies lately and I how I would be so sad if I didn't get to do the whole pregnancy/baby journey one more time. Sure morning sickness can suck and there's a lot of aches, pains that fears that come with pregnancy but it is also so exciting to have a little one growing inside of you and to dream about what he/she will be like. First, you can't believe your eyes as you see that second line show up, letting you know that you are indeed pregnant after so much waiting and trying to time things right. Then you finally get to hear their heartbeat, marvel at your body changing shape before your eyes and one day you're watching TV or something and you feel that first little flutter from inside. On top of that you have all the preparations, deciding on a name, buying new stuff. And then your baby arrives and you can hardly wrap your mind around the fact that this beautiful baby that you cannot stop staring at came out of your body. Even when I had Miles I could hardly believe it when I saw him. My favorite moments in the hospital were the quiet times when it was just me and him and he was snuggled up close to me. I stroked his little head, kissed his sweet cheeks, marvelled at all his tiny parts. He made the cutest little noises as he slept :) I didn't want to let go of him for a second. Even though I was sore from my c section I was on cloud 9. It's just such a wonderful time even with the chaos of trying to heal while you have this extremely needy baby that you have to figure out and feed, change, hold constantly.
I have been thinking that I will try to plan it so that the next baby is 3 years younger than Miles but that would mean I would be about 36 when I have that baby. What if I want one more after that? And do I really want to wait that long? I am not saying I want to start trying for another baby any time soon but maybe sooner than 3 years apart lol. Miles is 10.5 months right now and when Cody was 13 months I started trying for a 2nd baby. Looking back I can't believe I wanted to try again so soon. Because even if I thought I could handle 3 kids right now I so can't imagine trying again so soon. And no, I probably won't have 4 kids. Three is pretty much all this house could fit. The boys will share a room when baby 3 shows up. And another awesome thing is that my parents will be living 30 seconds away when I have my 3rd child. That will be so wonderful. My mom will be on cloud 9 at the thought of being able to come over almost every day to help me (she loves babies soooo much) and I will be so much happier having help with them and having company. Yay! Lol.
I know kids can be expensive and we don't have a lot of money but I will sacrifice as much as I can to make sure my kids are happy and healthy and have whatever they need. Even now I rarely spend money on myself and think of what they need or will need in the future when I have extra money. We will make it work :) Oh and one great thing about Mike is as much as sometimes having two kids can be busy and chaotic, I know he will agree to having another child because he knows how important children are to me. He plays with the kids too and snuggles them but he is more looking forward to when they are older when he can take them on roller coasters and to sporting events and when he can teach them how to play different sports.
