Logically, I am quite content with two children. Financially and emotionally Dan and I are quite set with two. Two is a good number. I don’t have more kids than I have room in the backseat for car seats. I don’t have more kids than I have arms. I don’t have more kids than there are adults to go after them. And it’s great to have one boy and one girl.
But whenever I know of someone who is pregnant or just had a baby (such as Jenn!), the baby urges kick in. My uterus starts itching for more, and my arms ache to hold a sweet little newborn, and my breasts ache to nourish one. This all sounds so tacky, but dear God I would be lying if it weren’t true.
However, for the time being at least, we are done with kids. Unless we suddenly get rich and into a bigger home in five or ten years, there will be no more babies for us. Logically and mentally and even emotionally, I’m fine with that. I really am.
But there is still this tiny little part of me — the maternal part, I suppose — that aches for another baby.
Anyway, all that said, I wish to extend my congratulations and wishes of a healthy pregnancy, delivery and baby to the following pregnant women: Ashley, Shellie and Sheena!
