They're all pregnant (or recently have given birth) AGAIN. These are all moms with kids right around LB's age or younger, in one case.

I know I don't want another baby, especially right now, but still I can't help but feel pressure. I guess it's internal, but if I know what I want (or don't want) where's the pressure coming from.

Every time someone tells the group that they're pregnant, someone throws out the, "Who's next?" line. I keep calling, "not it!!" But it's getting a bit old.

Maybe it's the overacheiver in me, if they all can do it, so can I. Maybe it's the fact that our happy playgroup of kids won't be the same anymore, once all the kids LB's age have younger siblings. Maybe it's my need to fit in with the group. Maybe it's peer pressure. Maybe it's just my f-d up head playing tricks on me again.

When I really do think about it, I know that I DEFINITELY don't want another kid right now. I'm enjoying LB way too much and can't imagine having another one who would require so much of my attention. Maybe when he's older I'll change my mind, but right now, NO WAY!!

Then why do I still feel this pressure? I give up. No, I didn't say give IN, I said give up. And I'm bringing my own water bottle wherever I go!!!
