Has anyone noticed the recent influx of baby pictures? Man, I’m wistful for the early days. This is my first little guy, Jamis, back when every moment was cute. We lived in Florida. Life was simple. What the heck happened? And…can I ever get a glimpse of that again? Just for a day?

We’ll be serving up some details on Five for Ten tomorrow! Please be sure to stop by. Grab the button code from our sidebar while you’re here, and plaster it on your site, in a post, or on your forehead. Whatever suits you. We are excited to start Round Deux, and would love your help in spreading the word. Let’s create the biggest blogging conversation we possibly can–across multiple blogs–for ten days! Woohoo!
It is not a requirement, but if you would like to drop your name in the bucket and let others know you’ll be participating, please do. I’ve created a linky doodad here, so type in your name, email address and blog URL and you’re all set! If you are uncertain and need more information, remember that we’ll be dishing out the details tomorrow.
Jen and I are easy to get along with, so hop on board!

That picture is adorable! Nothing like having a good friend to eat with :)
Yay, Corinne! You get a special prize for getting first in line…now, let me just think what that might be??? Any wishes or desires? I hear chocolate is a girl’s best friend in the blog world…
:)
Ack! I can’t remember the rules for five for ten. Is this the one where I have to drink a lot and post every day for a week? I swore I’d never do that again. Even though it was awesome. Really, really awesome. And I only drank a little before I fell asleep. So maybe I will. But maybe it’s not. Please advise.
.-= Lynne Marie Wanamaker´s last blog ..This blog has moved =-.
Wow, I hate that “this blog has moved” nonsense. My last blog post was a guest post from Kristen, who I met here. Which is another good reason to participate. Hmm. I seem to be talking myself into this.
.-= Lynne Marie Wanamaker´s last blog ..mind body mama: Guest Blogger Kristen =-.
Yes! Talk yourself into it!
No drinking involved. Or, shall I say, drinking optional.
This is the comment every day for 10 days one. But this time…with a twist!!! Come back tomorrow Mind Body Mama…for the slow reveal.
Although it’s amusing to convince Lynne that she has to get drunk and post constantly, we probably shouldn’t, huh? Dang. That would have been great entertainment.
.-= TheKitchenWitch´s last blog ..EEK! It’s Big! And Green! =-.
Bwahaha! You are a wicked, wicked woman! This time around is gonna be all kinds of fun seeing as we already have a firm grasp on each other’s wit, eh?
You all are soooo… wonderful!
I can’t wait – even though I may have to blog on pad and paper and type it in after those jury duty days. I will be here reading and typing in my spare time.
.-= Nicki´s last blog ..Boston Marathon =-.
Nicki,
You are totally tech savvy so what’s the deal? No iPhone???
Bwahaha…I expect great insights from all that time spent in Jury Duty!

When it comes to my mobile phone, I just last summer upgraded to one that would receive photos via message. I know! I am not the connected all the time person – really! I love getting away from it all but did watch with true interest at everyone checking devices on breaks. LOL!
.-= Nicki´s last blog ..Boston Marathon =-.
This little guy would be a kindred spirit to my oldest who has now taken to bringing his own teddy bear into the bathroom, cause you know, when a guys got to go, a teddy has to too.
Can’t wait for 5 for 10!! Love all of you guys, you enrich my life in ways I never imagined.
.-= Christine LaRocque´s last blog ..Money counts and we’re counting =-.
My daughter likes to have her stuffed panda with her in the bathroom. For comfort, though, rather than camaraderie!
What I want to know is, is Kitch going to serve up appetizers and drinks for all of us who participate?? =>
And if God loves me, I’ll be participating from the hospital with a healthy newborn out of my body already. This momma says rent’s due.
.-= Stacia´s last blog ..Photo Tuesday =-.
Ooh, Yes! Kitch should dish up some good stupid-simple recipes for this one (hint: Jen is a vegetarian). And, uh, yayayayayyayayayay for baby #3. We totally get it if you keep it short in the comments section lady-loo! Do the best you can and let us allllll know what that happy bouncing bundle arrives. HOW AWESOME.
Can’t wait until tomorrow! I’m loving this already!
.-= Maria´s last blog ..Um, ok? =-.
Yay Maria!
And I’m loving that YOU’RE loving it!
Okay, I feel like sort of a ditz. I don’t quite understand what Five for Ten is. Though I really want to participate. I’m planning on it!
.-= Jana@Attitude Adjustment´s last blog ..The Unbearable Lightness of Swinging =-.
Jana,
No worries. It’s not complicated…just come back tomorrow for the details. Would love to have you join in!!!
Okay, here’s my theory on why you keep posting baby oictures, Sarah (to get back to the first topic!) – you’re ready for #4! (ha ha) Don’t kick me off of 5 for 10 for my sorry joke…
.-= Linda´s last blog ..Scaled Down =-.
Yeah, yeah, I know. Number Four. Just having a difficult time convincing myself, I think. No, that’s not even true. Here’s what I think it is…I THINK about #4 and I think, oh yeah, definitely. But the fact that I’ve been scrolling through years worth of baby photos recently is not even my brain saying “go look at baby photos,” it is a total and complete impulse to do so, which scares me even MORE.
As in, “What the HELL am I thinking???”
Yes, what the hell are you thinking? Of course, that would make it an even 10 for me….
Ha ha ha, Mom. You are funny. An even 10. I think nine has a nice symmetry. Three kids. Nine grandkids. You’re one of six. There’s a certain pattern of threes, no? And even in the boy/girl splilt. Six grandsons, three granddaughters. Sarah, you could really mess up a nice pattern here. You do have a girl DOG, remember? (Says the dog person…)
.-= Jen´s last blog ..Dishing out the Five for Ten details =-.
Okay, okay with the symmetry aspect. I GET it. GAH!
Oh Linda, BTW, you BEST be adding yourself to the Five For Ten linky after that jab in my side…
(which we both know is really more of a keen observation…)
Here’s my next faint whisper in your ear… “Maybe number four would be a baby girl!” (I know I’m evil!) But you’d better talk to Jen about this, because if you have a 4th, due to bloggy rules, she has to too, right? :)
Okay, I’m on the linky list.
.-= Linda´s last blog ..Scaled Down =-.
Oh you are evil. Chances are the baby girl would be a total long shot, right? Silly to even contemplate such things? Unfortunately, our father was an avid follower of horse races, and once won LARGE on a long shot. I think it’s in my genes. And, if I can convince my husband that it’s in his genes, too (or, er, jeans), then we’ll probably walk the road to #4. However, I think that Jen may have to break our bloggy rules. She doesn’t seem to have the same baby lust I’ve been dealing with. Baby lust. Sigh.
No number four for me, ladies. I think another pregnancy would do me — and my family — in. Maybe adoption in a few years? Actually, I’m feeling like three is perfect. For me. We’ll roll with it if Sarah goes for #4.
.-= Jen´s last blog ..Dishing out the Five for Ten details =-.
Ahhhh, that would make 11. Then Justin would have to have his 4th for an even dozen. It would be a dynasty. Wait, maybe it already is…
I think we all know that Justin is not having a fourth. So I am not going to bow to the pressure of four. I’m sticking with my brother on this one. Three. Three. Three. It IS a dynasty already. Of COURSE it is. The GG dynasty.
.-= Jen´s last blog ..Dishing out the Five for Ten details =-.
Go for it … my bff here has four … it’s great … lots of ways to increase odds of a little lady …
I have to stop myself from imagining little baby girls. It’s really a horrible pastime. But oh how fun. Squee!
So the Big Mama tried to sign on but, since I have no official url, I failed miserable. You telling me something? I should get my own site? And what would that be about? Not finding a hook for myself.
At any rate, count me in, url or no url. I’ll be reading and thinking and writing and can’t wait.
:( Poor mama. Not to worry. You’re officially a Five for Tenner.
How about http://www.geegalicious.com?

Sanity says 9 is perfect. In all ways. But baby-lust isn’t sane. It’s just lust. Lovely, lovely lust. For the sweet smell of a new baby, and the skin that’s so soft you can’t quite feel it, and the warm, lump of heaviness in your arms. And, believe it or not, at my advanced age, I still have it. But then I sober up and remember myself and regain sanity. Sarah? You listening? Sanity is out there….
Maybe it’s just the omnipresent fact of womanhood – at least for some of us – that need to procreate. These days I pour that into my gardens. And am content. : )
Okay, what is it with you two? I mean, really! Why the hell are you both trying to convince me all the time that I’m outta mah mind?! I think we need to close this conversation. We can reopen it after I tell you I’m pregnant. Hmm, what will you say then?
Ouch. Not trying to do anything. Not thinking you’re outta your mind. Also not ending the conversation. I’m thinking pink.
Or blue.
Or maybe green?
I have no idea what this 5 for 10 business is all about, but I’ll return tomorrow for the scoop.
.-= 6512 and growing´s last blog ..The antler collector =-.
Okay here’s my question. I haven’t signed up yet cuz I’m not sure I can do all 5. If I think I’ll do a couple, or at least try, should I sign up or can I link as I go??
