My son is now over 14 months old and almost 2 years ago I discovered that I was pregnant with him. If I was still married, I would probably be discussing another pregnancy with my husband so as to have about 2 years or so between our children. Well, I am not married anymore so that is not an option. However, I am becoming surrounded by new pregnancies of people who have children about the same age as BBB. It is bittersweet to hear about these new pregnancies. I had every intention of not making Hunter an only child. I am not an only child and I wanted a sibling for my son. But that is not what is going to happen right now.
I think that opens another topic which is how many children should a family have. I don’t want to even start on that one but I can say that there are a few families out there that probably have too many children. I think that they are obvious and I don’t want to disparage any one family so I will just let the readers think for themselves about this one.
One last thought, I loved being pregnant and would do it again in a heartbeat. Pregnancy was the happiest time of my life before I had my son.
I know what you mean, with lots of your friends having their second babies. Sometimes, I am sad that we are not, in all likelihood, going to have any more kids. However, when I look at Isaac, there doesn’t seem to be anything missing. If we ended up with another baby, we’d be totally psyched…but I don’t feel like I’d want any more than two kids total, so I’m too nervous to try the treatments we’d probably need to have one more.
It’s okay, though. I’m so glad to have Isaac!
