Timing

JW and I were talking about timing for a second kid. I realized that if I got pregnant again today, our kids would be two years apart. Two years sounds like a fairly long time, but when you factor in the length of pregnancy, your kid turns one in the blink of an eye and suddenly you're starting over.

It wouldn't be the worst thing, really. I could just push back my start date at the firm until fall, when everyone else will be starting anyway. The timing would actually be pretty convenient, except for the bar.

It's strange to think that I could have another kid in a year and then that would be it for the rest of my life.

Anyway, this is not the plan -- I'd like to hold down a job for a year or two before we change our lives all over again.

But it wouldn't be awful.

Says the woman who spent the first six months of her son's life exclaiming, at least once every few hours, "Thank god I'm not pregnant anymore!"
