Sazz - you're not mental at all hun! it makes sense to be able to make a decision and to not have so much of your emotion tied up in AC if you're content with your life as is. DH and I have already talked about it, and don't think we'll go through AC again - or if we do, it won't be for quite some time. we have a perfect little family as it is - no child would be turned away, but we won't put ourselves or DD through the roller coaster for as long as possible. i guess there is always a chance it could happen naturally for us so it's not out of the question another would come along - but we won't actively "try". hell, DH is working away so not much chance of anything fun happening - let alone that fun being productive lol!

DD is such a wonderful addition to our lives - i was seriously starting to wonder last year whether it was a waste of time, money and emotional energy - but now that she's here i wouldn't have it any other way. she's such a happy girl most of the time (not so much this week - had needles and seems to have decided that demanding attention after that is the go!) - sleeps really well most nights, smiles for everyone... i'm already dreading going back to work - in APRIL next year lol

waiting for her to wake up again - she's a bit of a night owl (like mummy) so goes to bed "properly" at around 10 or 11 - last night was half 10, slept til 7, awake for about half hour, then asleep til half 10, back asleep by half 11.... in between she had a bit of a kick around in our bed, talked to daddy on the phone, giggled her little heart out at the candle holders on the wall.... very cute little girl! the morning sleep is good for me cos i've been a bit off the last few nights (really nasty nausea) and really tired and just needing rest, so i've been able to sleep in. doesn't make it easy to get out of the house in the mornings though! lol
