Eddie my love.. (referencing the 60s song)

yeah, well, the decision to become a parent has been haunting me forever now. I honestly think that the influence of shows like John and Kate plus 8 played some kind of role to it, but on my own, I saw how important kids are. I have had my kid nephew J for a long time now, hes a super rad kid and I can only dream that my little boy is going to be just like him in most ways. I am not financially able to support a kid right now, Id like to be settled in a career, and living on my own, and of course, b eing able to do what all I can for my kids. I have always wanted a son as well, im thinking having 2 nephews had a huge play in the reasons for that. Also the fact that I truely have had bad luck with evil little girls! Lets face it, when it comes to kids, boys are boss, and little girls are annoying princesses.

Also, since as long as I can remember, I have wanted to name my son, Eddie (really, to the point of that being a relationship requirement, ask the ex's lol). Just a vision I had, my Mom, all she ever wanted to be was a Mom, and I guess for the most part I follow that.

Yes, sleepless nights, permanent commitments and maturity, attitude plays a big role in becoming a parent, but darn it, im ready. In every way but financially. I had a lot of practice watching J so much.

Everytime I step into the store, I gawk over the babie clothes (if they are in sight).
Im working on a letter to write to my future children, just so I can see how much things change between this confidence in being ready, and the time I actually have them would be.

Alright, im off to find unflavored jello, toodles everyone.
