I am so glad too that you started this thread Maz cause this is the point in my life too. I get teary when other people announce their pregnancies even though I have had my turn and i am glad for them.
Sometimes I wish we had another BB for us to move to cause i dread the day I have to leave cause my children are way too old and everyone on here is young enough to be my daughter LOL
I don't like to think about grandchildren because I think I am in denial about getting older! DD is 18 so realistically it could be in the next few years (she says not) but I don't feel excited about grandchildren I feel dread at being old!
I just went to coles and heard and saw a newborn cry....I nearly started and that I got that tingling..you know, the one when you know your bub is just about ready for their next feed....
I take my hat of to you girls who can think about grandchildren already.....Im so not there to think of that yet. I look at V and cant imagine her having kids yet, I dont see her in that light yet and I dont want to for such along time .
N knows how I feel...at the grand old age of 9. He asked me one day that when he get's married and has babies can I help and love them as much as I love him OMG I wanted to slap him for making me so proud that he asked and again for seeing how much I do love him.
Sarah said in another thread that she cried when she got AF. I gotta say, everytime i O I think what a waste and pray for some big miracle that my tubes have grown back together again. I fell pg with my tubes clamped.....so why couldnt I be so lucky
I haven't used any birth control in 2 years LOL Its so impractical for us to have any more kids but I sometimes pray for a miracle "accident". The backlash I would cop from everyone around me probably wouldn't be worth it though
even though there is always a chance we may have a miracle, i am facing this exact situation. DH is older (yeah, it's not really a drama how old he is, BUT, it does enter the equation for us) - and i can't see me wanting to go the AC path again for quite some time - this is where his age enters it - i don't want to still be going through AC when he's 50 - it's not fair! so i have kinda resigned myself to E being an only bubba. we will play russian roullette - and if it happens, fantastic - but with all the hurdles we've faced, i seriously doubt it... it's a tough pill to swallow...
I'm feeling the same sort of greif....I'm not completely denying that there may be more, but DH is pretty adamant about it now. I'm praying for a sneaky bub too....
I feel like this too and I think why oh why didn't I cherish my firstborn more in his babyhood. Not that I didn't cherish him, but I just didn't realise how quickly they grow up.. and that once they do, babyhood is long gone. It's cruel in a way. By the time you're getting enough sleep to really enjoy them, they're growing up and becoming so independent... and then you start to want another, which is easy to contemplate when you're getting a good nights sleep.
I would love to go on to have 1 maybe 2 moe babies but alas financially, physically and mentally it is not an option (plus the fact I had a tubal)
Dh said if we had enough money so he could stay home as well and help with the workload we could have another but he also said it would have to come out as a 2 y old I do realise where he is coming from though. Once they get to about 6-8 months old there is a lot of work. I do enjoy it but I also get tired and know my limitations..
Ah well.. Grandkids and more neices and nephews it is for me Altho I thinkn it will be just grandkids for me.. and I honestly hope thats for well over 12-15 yrs away. Not that having kids at a young age is a problem it isn't what I want for my kids. I want them to travel and enjoy the workd kid free for a little while.. Then have kids and travel
