The Back-Up Plan..

Tonight Kailey and I saw a movie with Colleen and Kayla. It was the Back-Up Plan with Jennifer Lopez. It was really cute, lots of funny scene's and a great story line. It certainly wasn't a movie for men, Paul wouldn't have appreciated me dragging him there to watch that one. I mean, he could have related to some of the parts in the movie, but for the most part it was a love story. We had a few laughs, and on the way home told a couple stories about the births of our girls. Did I mention the movie was about a woman who gets artificially inseminated, then finds the right man and falls in love. By the way, he is not the father of the baby! We had Kailey and Kayla laughing so hard at times they had tears. Colleen and I of course discussed the fact that our baby years are so over, couldn't imagine going back to all of that again. The only nice thing if we were to have babies at this stage in life, is that we would be so much more calm, accepting and probably easier going. I would be a completely different mom...it was so busy in our 20's, we were so young, so uneducated (parenting related), and really just survived (barely) on pure luck!
To think of having a baby today, it would be like having a baby with someone slightly different than Paul, I mean its still him but we've changed so much over the years...growing, changing and maturing, it would be such a different experience. Even for Colleen, it would be so different for her as well, she has a loving, dedicated and committed man by her side...well, let me say those thoughts didn't last too long. LOL, we are pretty happy with this stage in life..i mean could it get any better?? Here we are, in our mid-late 30's..out on a girls date night with our two teen age daughters, laughing and crying and sharing moments and memories with eachother! Really couldn't be any better than that!!
