City vs Country

08.24.08

Sunday morning was interesting for LA and I . I don't know why or how it got started but we had some good and funny conversations about LA being a rockstar which you've got to ask her about to get the rest of the story...which was followed by my decision to not raise our child in "the city". The country would be much better place for the baby and for our schedules. It's looking like this baby is going to be a little demanding from everything we here, so we decided that we are taking the baby to Lodge and let our family down there keep the baby during the week. We're going to look at buying a pop-out, pull behind, 5th wheel or RV and we would visit on the weekends (when it didn't interfere with our "city schedules"). We were hoping one of the boys would take the baby since they have done so good so far. We figure it's easier to be successful when you have more than one child. You know the experience and learning from your mistakes - everything we do is going to be a mistake. There is no need to put the baby through all that stress. The baby would be the youngest in all of their families and everyone knows the youngest gets everything and is spoiled rotten (look at LA and I, ooh, maybe that's our problem). It seems like a win, win for everyone...We had other conversations but that was the one we felt we should share with everyone.

Just so everyone's up to date and you won't have to keep on asking - LA's feet are swollen and unfortunately are going to be swollen until baby Carter arrives (if there's going to be number 2 child, were planning for months 5-9 to be between Oct and April). Some days are better than others but you can assume that until baby Carter arrives - she's miserable. We've talked about poking a hole in one of them and seeing if that would help. LA is not so sure but I am pretty sure if that we stick the needle deep enough that something will give.
