At first, I avoided a pregnancy like the plague, then later I tried to have a child. When I realize how tough it was, I asked myself who was I doing this for? It turned out that I was trying FOR my family...the wrong reason, so I stopped. Follow your heart, it will never mislead you  |
Thanks for that post! Im glad to know I am not the only one. I always get the speech about "you cant have her be an only child, she doesnt have anyone to play with, etc" I hate to admit it but god forbid if I did have another child and Katie is almost 9, she would end up helping me with the baby, not actually having another child to play games,etc with and thats not fair either. IMO..
