Top 11 reason why I am not ready for BABY #2

So now that Leo is rounding the corner of 3rd base headed for his first HOME RUN-a.k.a the 1st Birthday....people only have 1 question, "So ya ready for baby #2?"

My response as i tweeted some days back, and I quote, 
"People ask if I'm ready for Baby #2 and i straight up laugh in their face!"


Before you read, i would preface this with the understanding I LOVEEEEEE my little jewel more than my own life and not a single one of these are complaints about my Lion Cub, they are simply reason why he will be an only child for a while:) I LOVED being pregnant. I LOVED giving birth and get excited at the thought of giving birth again. I LOVED my fresh little newborn boy. But I worry that if I have another baby time will move faster than the lighting speed rate it has jetted through in this last year:'(

So here they are....

11. Last week i realized I put my underwear on inside out 3 times...think im joking and that no one is that stupid-THIS GIRL!!!

10. I cant mentally bare again the debilitating guilt of returning to work again. It was and still is literally crushing, like someways i still physically feel actual pain that I am not raising my own son full time.....(sigh)

9. Paying for full time daycare-enough said.

8. My sister ASHLEY BARCLAY is giving me a niece!! So we will have a baby to love on!!!! A GIRL BABY:) My BFF JAMIE LEA BURKS is having a baby to love on this fall!!!! My friend MEGHAN MALLORY is having BABY GIRL! ....so see! with all these new babies we are good to go for a while!

7. I need a break from pumping. Not a break from nursing. From PUMPING. Its so worth it and im glad i have made it this far....but lets give the GIRLS a break!!

6. Time! Where do momma's of more than 1 baby find time????? What if i am nursing the new baby but my big boy Leo needs a hug, some love, a pickle, a crayon on the top shelf, a diaper change?? this scares me to my insides and then makes my brain hurt!

5. Refering to this previous post The Enemy Strikes , Yep....i still look in amazement that i cant ever find time to do my hair! When would i ever have the time with 2 kids??

4. How would the Nash family make it through church? Right now I have to leave most services and am only there for the worship and end singing. Yo-church leaders: you get us momma's a CRY ROOM and i might consider baby #2~~~~~~~hahahahahaa

3. Having 2 kids in diapers is exclusively for crazy people....yes i am friends with LOTS of crazies ya'll!!!!

2. I like that Leo sleeps 12 hours at night! I cant go back to the waking every 2 hours!

AND....DRUMROLL PLEASE

1. I WILL LOOSE MY BABY WEIGHT BEFORE BABY #2 is conceived or adopted!!! OPERATION BABYWEIGHTLOSS




But really...with this lil face....My cup runneth OVA!!!!! 
WAYYYYYY OVA!!!!!


Only Uncle Gary gets smiles like these!

Here comes the Birthday BOY!

Tippin the hat just right....
who am I kidding, he was ripping it OFF his head!!
Nash boys make this life sweeter 


{Love} 

**PTL for HIS many Blessings!**


Happy Monday-
Love Manda
