i’m taking prenatal vitamins to make my skin stop breaking out and i broke our vacuum
correction: the amount of friggin dog hair that collects in every single corner and crevice within a 24 hour period in this apartment has blown up our vacuum. after trying to vacuum just now, i had to dig the dog hair out of the nozzle of the vacuum. like stick my fingers in the vacuum for dog hair. this was after the vacuum started emitting an odor of burnt dog hair that i ignored. so gross!
i digress…
when i went to the doctor last week, after getting my pap smeared and all that jazz, my doctor asked me when paul and i were thinking of having our next child.
first of all, why the hell can’t anyone just be content with where people are right NOW in life… when you’ve been dating for a while, people want you engaged… when you’re engaged, they’re practically pushing you down the aisle… then once you’re married, people want a honeymoon pregnancy… and once you blast out one kid, people ask you when you’ll have another.
OH, THE PRESSURE!!!
so, to answer my doctor’s question… “RIGHT THE HELL NOW.”
she laughed at me and then realized that i interpreted her “when are you AND PAUL thinking of having your next child” as “when do YOU wanna get knocked up again?”
no, i am not pregnant. yes, my IUD is still in place and fully intact.
but, i’ve got the bug. the uber-contagious super virus of a baby bug that seems to be plaguing more people than i realized, which of course doesn’t help the situation.
paul knows. and he chuckles at me. i even asked his permission before writing this post, being the ever-so-considerate wife that i am… wondering if i could ANNOUNCE TO THE INTERNETZ THAT I WANT ANOTHER BEBE!!! he still laughed. he wants more children too… eventually.
i want more NOW. i want to be pregnant again NOW. i want the preggers BELLEH again NOW. and i want the little nugglet of a new babe again NOW. i want the magoo to have a sibbling NOW.
i asked jackson if he wanted a little brother or sister. this was the response i got…
i took this to mean, “sure, why not?”
so i’m taking prenatal vitamins because it’s good for me and i like how it makes my skin flawless, my nails grow strong, and my hair shiny.
please excuse me while i go sweep up the mounds of dog hair that just exploded in my face and gag while doing so.













I haven’t let my uterus in on this one yet, but I have neutered my husband. No more babies for me….this makes my ovaries weep. They want more babies.

Dogs and vacuums do not mix! I have two very hairy puppies and a hairy cat too — and it seems like we’re always in need of a new vacuum.
And if there is anything that I hate spending money on — it’s probably a vacuum.

y’all need more cute ones like magoo! and i agree…no matter what pepole are always waiting for MORE from you. sucks.
After my daughter was born, I wanted another baby. BAD. If I asked the husband whether he wanted another child, though, the answer I would get was “yes and no.” For years it was like that. I finally had to concede the fact that another child was not in my future. It’s ok, though. I have a boy and a girl that I love with all my heart, even if they are 8 8 years apart in age.
I hope you guys find the right time for you both to have another babe. I bet by then, Jackson will be a little more excited about having a new brother or sister.
Sorry you had to feel up the vacuum after it blew up.
That’s just so wrong, don’t you think?

I think that once you have the baby bug, it never goes away. Like..once you’ve been bitten, you’ll always kind of want to have a baby. I think this is why women and men alike respond to babies the way they do–once you ever seriously think about having a baby, you’ll always love babies, and the baby bug will just show itself in other ways–either you will have more kids, or you’ll work with them, or you’ll just coo and ask to carry them in the grocery stores, even though they belong to strangers.

Also, Sean and I have been very clear about the fact that we’re not having any more children (medical reasons mostly), and we still get asked by people who are RELATED to us. Sean had a VASECTOMY, and still they ask.

Pregnancy is wonderful…and I can’t wait to have the baby. BUT I also CAN’T WAIT to not be pregnant any more
hahaha. Enjoy your wine.
Get a Dyson, then get pregnant. In that order.
Trust me on this

@PrincessJenn, BEST COMMENT EVER!!!
Having your pap smeared? I make that joke all the time to my wife…but she doesn’t find it funny (anymore…might have to do with the fact that I make the joke all the time.)
In any case…I’m having the same problem with dog hair in the vacuum. I have yet to find a solution that doesn’t end with me flushing the dog down the toilet.
when I read your tweet about how your vacuum had blown up my first thought was “thank GOD I am not the only one!”
dog hair has destroyed 3 vacuums in 2 years in my house – this weekend I am selling a kidney and buying a Dyson

Hello Nic!
So first off, I totally get where you are coming with the whole people not being content thing. So I will just put it out there for all the internets, “I, Heather Sellers, do not want another baby right now and am thinking that may be a permanent thing. I have 7 month old twins. I did two at a time, give me a break peeps!”
P.S. Moved the blogged from Sellers Gang Mama, please give me some feedback on the header as it will likely be the logo for my bracelets. Also, should have the Etsy shop up this weekend!

I HEAR YA re: the vacuum. Stupid dogs. It’s better than the ass chowing, though, right?
Also, I hear ya re: the baby bug. I feel it, and I totally shouldn’t given that I am in no situation for that. (LOL, I just posted about this today!)
Also, where did you get your vitamins? I’ve been considering that for a while. THey say it is good for all women of child-bearing age to take them anyway. ANd… believe me, my hair and skin and nails could USE the help!
Kellee´s last blog ..Frozen, Stuck, and Otherwise Paralyzed
@Kellee, LOL “better than ass chowing” is correct. ps- i take neevo for my prenatal vitamin. it’s a prescription through my doc, but you can get any good prenates at the drug store. whole foods has really good ones as well.
DO IT!! I’m waiting for you to join me

Should of gotten a labradoodle! Daisy doesn’t shed or drool for that matter!!! She just steals all of our socks.
On the baby note. I had that baby bug got my little Mas and can tell you make sure you and Paul are ready. It is way more than double to work and as you know I have lots of help from family but not husband! But who am I to talk I want number 3! I like to be miserable!!! Love you guys and miss you.
i’ve been taking prenatal vitamins off and on for years! and i’ve NEVER been pregnant. they’re…just….awesome!
oh, and BAAA!
@maura, LOL… baaahhhh!!!
Babies are cool and all…but get that Magoo potty trained and in the Big Boy Bed before you get all baby-fied. I had two in diapers. It killed me….financially and stresswise. Okay, maybe I exaggerate and perhaps I did not literally die…but it twere not easy.
LIsaB (LadyWanderlust)´s last blog ..Happy Hour Friday: Victoria Secret Angels Are Just Winged Whores
@LIsaB (LadyWanderlust), umm… we have a potty for magoo.
he is very interested in pottying and likes to announce to us when he has peed or pooped. he also REALLY likes giving us toilet paper and flushing the potty for us. but… he’s not even 2 yet, so we’re not technically “potty-training” yet, but it’s nice to see that the magoo is interested and not afraid. in due time… but i have heard from lotsa folks NOT ever have 2 in diapers, if you can help it.
SQUEEEEEE to the enth power!!!
um, so, you DO make damn fine looking babies, after all. i think you may owe it to the world to keep those amazing genetics ‘aflowing! ;D
i so remember my pre-baby self horking down prenatals and fondling layette sets at target in the not-so-distant past… and i’d better get myself on some dang birth control before i end up knockered up again before i’m really ready!
oh, your little magoo. he’s just fantastic. love that babe!
xoxo!
I’ll impregnate you right now
haha! But really, if it were possible you and I would make ONE ADORABLE BABY, because we’re both pretty smexy looking!

“first of all, why the hell can’t anyone just be content with where people are right NOW in life”
I love this reflection on why people are always anticipating the New New Thing. As much as it frustrates me when people ask the questions you mention, I sometimes have no one to blame but myself: I get twitchy when things are simple and good, always looking for the next hit of New around the corner.

@elle, nope, no preggers. and click on the pic to enlarge and see ALL THE DAMN DOG HAIR on his addidas pants. UGH!!! so gross!!!!
Ah, the Baby Bug. More contagious than le swine. Depending on the day, I have it too. I think it is amazing that you have the bug and are shouting it from the blogtops. Keep popping those vitamins and vacuuming that doggy hair and the rest of us will wait for an announcement about Magoo Deux
I get the baby bug when my kid’s birthday’s roll around, like today since my second one is turning 8. I have the baby bug. At times it makes me sad that I can not have anymore and then something happens with the three of them and I remember why I stopped at 3.
Good luck to you on the bebe!
They are so great. <3
Oh, and sorry about the vacuum.

It’s so funny hearing someone else talk about the constant pushing of those around you. My husband and I are expecting our first son in the beginning of March. My brother called me up last night to ask if and when we planned on giving Tanner siblings. Goodness, Tanner hasn’t even seen a day to himself yet and my family is looking towards the next one. It’s true, people aren’t able to sit down and really enjoy whats going on now. We’re all guilty of constantly looking to the future. Sometimes it’s nice to pay attention to where you are in the here and now. It’s definitely more managable that way.
Girl, I have the bug- BAD. I’m going back and forth between whether or not it’s fair to bring a child into this world when Hubby and I are struggling to make the ends meet. I mean, I’m home for now, so I figure this is the perfect time to raise another child, but maybe it’s not. And about the dog hair- FML!!!! I hate dog hair and it’s everywhere! Even though we have a “short hair” dog. Ugh. I want to just shave all of his hair off!!
Dawana´s last blog ..Cooking With Momma: This Week’s Menu 2/1
So funny! Love it. I do not yet have the baby bug again (my little nugget is only three weeks old today) but I can definitely identify with the I WANT IT NOW mentality. When I decide I want something, I want it to be delivered to my doorstep THAT SECOND. OOh, wouldn’t that be great? Babies on demand.
