Well, as most of you know by now, Silvey baby #4 is on the way. I've found out that after baby #2, people start wondering if you know what causes babies - which of course is their polite way of saying - "are you crazy!" I've either come up with or been told some pretty creative answers - (1) Yes, we're just not willing to give that up yet; (2) Yes, but we're addicted; (3) Yes, do you? Because we'll be happy to give you some pointers.
But after all that I'm starting to wonder if I really do understand the whole process. After all, with baby #1 and baby #3 I was very determined to get pregnant, and it took 6 months of actively trying before we succeeded. With baby #2, a baby we lost, and baby #4 - I was completely surprised. So evidently, while I think I know "how babies are made" - I must be missing something. Now, this isn't an open invitation to give me the talk on the birds and the bees - just me figuring out one more thing I don't know.
