Hi gals,
I would never choose to only have one child but having started late in life, I know that we are really lucky to have our one gorgeous DD. But DH and I are both really sad that she is on her own and have been trying to give her a sibling for 5 years, even to the point of trying donor eggs.
We are due to start another cycle of IVF in April but I just can't help thinking that maybe there is too big a gap and it will be like having 2 "only children" in the family. It really hit home this morning when DD was running around all excited finding her easter eggs and I thought, gosh if we have another, Dd will be 11 when the next child is 5. So they won't have the same interests. what have other people found? Ideally of course, we could try to have 2 kids but I think we are probably gettting a bit old for that.
