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.
