baby thoughts.

By October 7, 2008Personal

watch out world, it’s a double feature! welcome to the gallery page lesley & michael and stephanie & jason! i’m so glad we got these shoots in while everything was beautifully green and sunny!

ever since jayci’s baby shoot i feel like all of the sudden babies are a bigger part of our lives. i’ve talked to more new moms and pregnant gals lately than ever before. this does not mean i am getting baby fever. so matt, i know you’re reading this, you can take a breath now. it’s still a scary thought for someone like me who cannot make dinner without something boiling over or go a day without hot chocolate, tiny dill pickles and some kind of cheese.

like many couples, matt and i talked about little ones before we were married. we agreed on a number and a timeline and that was the only serious conversation we had about it. subsequent conversations have involved: how crazy a child would look with matt’s eyes, my cheeks, matt’s torso and my legs; how, as an infant, little altmix will sport some kind of a diagonal fauxhawk and finally how we will trick him into liking good food at a young age. when i say we won’t have kids for a while it’s because we shouldn’t- at least until we find better reasons and stop betting on whose nose he’ll get.

just a few of my thoughts from today.

  • I love this post! I was soooo there a few years ago! hahahaaah Katie..you can still eat pickles, cheese, and hot choc when you get pregnant…its the big giant “OFF LIMITS” sign on all the red wine and good beer that stinks! p.s. could you two draw a sketch of what your baby would look like and post it on the blog…I REALLY want to see!!! :)

    I totally know how you feel, Kate! I am going through a seriously intense baby phase right now, but the only reason I want to have them is because I have great names picked out :/ Not good enough, I’m afraid. I need to last another 4 years without a baby so I’d better stop thinking about my wicked awesome names!

  • Stacee says:

    Baby Fever is my middle name….haha. If only we could sell our condo…sigh.

  • Katrina and I weren’t going to have kids at all ~ now we have two! Although both were unplanned, they continue to be the *HUGEST* source of love, laughs, inspiration to work hard, and all the best things you can imagine… :) No doubt, it’s really hard to have kids, especially two with how busy we are, but we LOVE LOVE them so much it’s crazy!! The timing for kids is like buying a house – it’s never the right time.. you just have to be plunged in screaming and kicking, sort of like the baby when it comes out!! hehehe….. best to you both!

  • Kathy says:

    melissa pepin* yea, that red wine sign is gonna be a killer. and i WISH i was a good enough artist to render baby altmix but i’m pretty sure he’d come out looking like an alien and not proving my point, ha, one day!

    laura* yet another reason i forgot to mention! NAMES! ah, so right now i’m stuck on a daughter named Stella…

  • skay says:

    you ready for me to ruin the wanting a baby phase?….all i can think of is little baby altmix being named after stella from project runway. that kid is going to love LEATHA.
