I really thought I had settled this. The past six months or so I have felt amazingly content with my life as it stands. The longings and wonderings had faded into a distant memory.
Then today, it hit me again.
Maybe I do want another baby.
Sigh... here we go again. Welcome back emotional roller coaster.
Good luck in your decision. It's not an easy one to make. With Laura leaving babyhood at a much faster rate than I want, I often have the desire for another.
There is no right or wrong answer, only what is right for you and your family. I hope you find that answer and support you with whatever you decide.
This blog serves as a creative outlet for my experiences as a mother, wife, sister, daughter, friend and human being. I am a stay at home mom, which might explain my need for this outlet.
The major characters (and I do mean characters), are the members of my family. They are as follows:
Big J: Our 13 year old son. Avid skateboarder, math hater, and heir to the throne.
Little T: Our 10 year old son. Energy plus, baseball fan, math lover, and second in line.
Pumpkin/Baby Girl: Our 3 year old daughter. Adorable, temperamental, and resident princess.
Superman/Superdad/Hubby: My steadfast companion in this journey, without whom I would go completely nuts.
Joseph and Molly: Our beloved twin son and daughter who died shortly after birth as a result of their premature birth. They would be 5 years old, if they had survived.
I write to remember. I write to reflect. I write to maintain my sanity. I write to achieve perspective. I write for me.

It's frustrating to find out something was not as settled as you thought. ~hugs~
*sigh* Though my situation is different in so many ways, this sounds like me. I wonder if this issue is ever really settled for some people.
Good luck, Lori, with your thoughts and possible future decisions.
Wow. That is big! I think it is pretty normal when your youngest is 3, at least it has been for me. I pray God will guide your heart.
