Mason's First Christmas!

I hope everyone had a nice holiday!
Mason took in a large haul of toys. Its funny, when we first started talking about Christmas MONTHS ago we agreed that since he wouldnt remember it we'd just buy practical things. New car seat since he is ready to switch out of his infant one, diapers, wipes, and just a couple little toys. Nothing expensive, no excessive giving. Well, we caved a little, no diapers or wipes under the tree, but our families didnt receive the memo and went ALL out!
Little Tikes Cozy Coupe car w/trailer, Thomas the train set, Little People tractor, Megabloks, bath toys, Cars foam puzzle play mat, ring stacker, Lincoln logs, Laugh & Learn Puppy (two!), Fisher Price pop up ball toys (two different dino ones and the train), sport balls, clothes, Vanilla smelling Mickey Mouse, Crawl-along snail, Apptivity case, vtech tambourine, Discover tent w/tube, and believe it or not I know there is more, I just cant even THINK of them!
Ugh, my apartment looks like Santa's Workshop exploded in here!! I took down the tree already just to feel like there is room to walk in here and mentioned to my fiance that should for some reason we decide its best to stay here when #2 arrives we will be moving the kiddos into the master because there is too much stuff!!!

I really loved seeing my son enjoy his first Christmas and there were moments that will stay in my memory forever. He was in such a great mood and didnt fuss too much considering all the running around here and there to see all our family. I know those our memories they will forever cherish as well watching him crawl and seeing his first teeth!
But...I couldnt help feel sad thinking I should be pregnant already! Crazy, right? I am pee'ing on sticks (pregnancy tests!) every morning hoping for some sign that I am. I am not drinking or planning on drinking this holiday season, taking prenatals, eating right and drinking plenty of water! I am ready for this. I read stories of women who spend years trying to conceive and I can not help myself from worrying that maybe since Mason was "easy" (I was on BC, he was conceived during a two day lapse *we think* in switching from one to another because of the strong effects the pills have on my body) this one is going to take more work.

Just going to try to stay optimistic and know that we are good parents and our next one will come to us when the time is right...
