Baby Alert!

It seems to be baby season again, as a lot of folks I know are expecting. In fact two of them have already delivered. First was my neighbors new daughter, Karly Ryan Leonard born 3.7.2006 @ 10:13 am, weighing 5lbs 5oz, measuring 19in long. Next was my good friends the Stadlers new boy, Noah Michael Stadler born 3.14.2006 @ 1:25 pm, weighing 8lbs 3oz, measuring 22in long. And in a month or two my other good friends the Buckwalters will be delivering their baby. It's a very exciting time for my friends, and a wake up call that times are changing. It seems like just a few years back we all were single and care free. Now couples are starting to get married, buying houses, and starting families. I however had a jump start on that with the birth of my son Logan. I've been on the "fast track to retirement" as a coworker of mine stated (Associate level college courses completed at age 18, professional career started at age 19, and first child at age 21). So since I've been through a bit of the married with children life, I'm a bit hesitant to go back to it. However I do understand that this time there will be a lot of positive differences, and the support of friends w/children would provide social support. However these days I'm just feeling selfish, there is so much I want to see & do, and procreating would just get in the way of that. I do eventually want more children. I would love to have a daughter so that I can get the life experience of it, and another son is definitely desirable. However I fear that my timeline of events won't be quick enough for the maternal clock ticking within my better half. I guess we'll just have to take it day-by-day and see how things sort themselves out.
