I am soooooo grateful for my little precious Liebling, and if Liebling is all I have then I will be happy, but ideally I'd love to have three children.

However, I do know the type of woman - if you score 9/10, you could have scored 10, even if you came first in your class... I don't get it. Be happy with what you have, make the most of it, but don't stop planning for the future: after all, DH and I know we want Liebling to have siblings so many of our decisions (eg nappies, feeding, post-birth contraception) are based around that. But I aren't planning Liebling's life away - I don't mind how the baby turns out, as long as I have a healthy baby, and what does it matter if I have the local science genius, a plumber or a secretary - as long as my Liebling is happy and healthy, that's all I want. But I don't understand pushing a child to be something they're not.

Maybe it's because I love Liebling so much that I can't wait to have more children to love? And for my precious ones to love each other and play together... while I'm very happy with Liebling, I'd just prefer to have 3. Or maybe more if I can convince DH!
