I'm forever wondering what he's doing or if he's okay without me when I'm gone, then I feel guilty for doing so because I spend most of my days with him. Eric works a 9-5 job, would LOVE to spend as much time as I do with Charlie and here I am complaining about the twenty some odd hours I spend away from him? Rude. Charlie is a constantly changing and growing little boy; we'll never get these moments back with him! That's why personally I couldn't intentionally have another child so soon-- we'd miss all of this!
I used to say "sure, one day I'll have kids" thinking it'd be ages down the road, but now I have a son. He's great and I love him, but that doesn't stop me from being absolutely scared shitless. There's so much to do, to remember! Here's my journey of getting to know my son, myself and my new life-- final destination: motherhood-- with the occasional input from Eric, my hubby and Charlie's father.

Baby fever?
Lately I've been asked by people if I'm "ready for another kid/baby yet?" I always reply no because I'm still enjoying Charlie grow up. I don't think I've got even a touch of normal baby fever like some people seem to assume I should have. When I see small children and babies at work I get a small pang, sure, but it's because I miss Charlie so much! All I want is to hug him when I see other moms shopping with their little ones.
