Haiku Melt
Posted on December 20th, 2007 by Jennifer
I smell your sweet head
My heart aches, thinking you may
be my last baby
What is this urge for
just one more? Will I always
yearn for another?
We lock eyes, we smile
You are enough, your brother,
too. Savor right now.
Happy Holidays everyone, wishing you safe travels, magic calorie-free food, and LOTS of surprises from Santa!
me too…always wanting more…they are so yummy. to savor them, though, that is the key…happy Christmas!

My ovaries always hurt when Alex is… oh … sleeping, being cute etc. Not so much when he’s say… cutting two teeth at once… or I’m disinfecting my bathroom b/c of the massive blow out

I feel the same way. My baby is 2 1/2. I’m not ready to admit that she is growing up.

P.S. I’m throwing a little contest for a copy of Haiku Mama over at my place.
Cheers! And Happy Holidays!

OH geez - I feel the exact same way. Except I’ve got two boys so everyone in the world is telling me to have another. “You NEED a girl” they’ll say to me. “Don’t you want a daughter?”
Cathy’s last blog post..Happy Friday!
I always want one more when I get to hold a new one….until they start crying. Then I’m glad my baby is already one, and that long first year is over. Other people’s babies though…..bring ‘em on!
A very merry Christmas to you and yours too! And some of that magic, calorie-free food!

Happy Happy Holidays!!!
Great Haiku as usual.
~JJ!’s last blog post..Haiku Happy Birthday
SB just asked me last night if we were going to have anymore babies after this one. Telling him this would be our last one seemed so final (I did, though). Makes me wonder if everything will be tinged with a bit of bittersweetness ….
Merry Christmas to you and your family too!

I’m the same way. Even though I am pregnant and swear this will be my last and we only want two kids, the thought makes me sad in a way.
AndreAnna’s last blog post..Haiku Friday
I’ve had the same conflicting thoughts. We’re done, I say, and then I wonder - what if we had just one more? It drives me crazy sometimes. I know we can’t handle a third (financially or mentally), but that desire for another is downright primal sometimes.

that’s exactly how i felt, for the longest time…but, my baby is turning 4 and…i’m SO OVER the wanting another baby!!! but…i have 5 so, it’s probably a good thing, huh?

Maybe there is room for one more? If you are feeling like there could be, you never know…

Awwww, so sweet!
Remember what I told you awhile back? Uh huh. I’m gonna hound you until you do it.
BTW, I still have moments when I want another. Remember the boiling pasta dream? haha! Then the boys start fighting and the moment is gone. Well, at least I get to play with baby Peter.

Next time you are thinking about another, just ask me for a video of my 3 and how they bicker. Constantly.
Have a very Merry Christmas!

oh, i’m still struggling with thoughts of a third baby…hubby thinks two is more than enough.
Happy Holidays to you too!
cate’s last blog post..Haiku Friday: a Christmas blasphemy
I sold all of my baby items after having my 2nd child. And then came the third and she completes us. I can’t imagine life without her.
Your daughter is precious! So sweet.
Merry Christmas!!!
OHmommy’s last blog post..Postmaster, please deliver….
I didnt savor Liv because I thought I’d have more quickly after.. 5 years later. We want 4 or 5 total, but we’re enjoying every moment with Gabe.
Stephanie’s last blog post..Haiku Friday
Aww! So sweet! I was getting mild baby twinges last week when I realized Lucy is sitting up and eating solids. She’s not my limp little newborn any more. I’m with you, trying to remember to savor these days.
PS: I totally stole your Bumbo-for-pictures idea for Lucy’s Christmas pictures - it worked ok, but her dress didn’t cover it very well, so I wound up buying other pics. I’m sure the lady who took our pictures thought I was nuts when I said “I saw this on a friend’s blog and thought it would work for these pictures.” : )

And dude, i have more kids than I’ll ever know what to do with, and I STILL want another. It’s okay to want one more.
