The baby craziness......in HIM!

I'm at work on this snowy Sunday and an unexpected phone call from my husband comes. He's not one for the phone-so it's slightly odd for him to call me.

It starts with..." Did you know there are a lot of things you can do with your kids ...like projects, science camps and experiments and..." (he goes on and on) - about all these different things he read about today. Even explains this geo thing-where you find GPS points with your kids...blah blah blah.

The conversation is slightly amusing to me for a two reasons:

1. Before Joe met me- he didn't want children. Ever. Never talked about them. Never had a want/desire for them. This information comes from both his mother and father. He never told me this. When I pry- he claims he never met the right person before.

2. He's really worried about being good parents-when he worries, he tends not to talk about something. And if I push- it's just longer I have to wait to talk about it- so I've left it alone. (by the way- he's going to be a fantastic-hands on parent-and I know I'll fall more in love with him as it's happening)

But...Oh I enjoy hearing him talk about it. Today was no exception. Full blown excitement from his end. He found something he can relate to-Projects! Now his mind feeling at ease.... He says:

So...when are we going to start this?
Me: Start what?
This kid thing. I mean.. making this kid.
Me: You wanted the summer together- I was giving you(and us) space and time.
Well, we can have the summer together pregnant-right?

Ah, the heart melt. Why yes sweetie...yes we can.
So... who knows what the near future brings. Originally- we were going to Disney in September(and planned to start trying on VK)- but now it looks like May.
