This is yet another horrid decision we have to face as LTTTC/ACer's... I don't think theres ever an easy answer... and definately no easy way to reach it

It's so hard when you've really done the hard yards - 10 yrs TTC DD was a long time sweetheart xxx
The added pressure of the medicare changes are really not helping anyone out either - its putting everyone into turmoil thinking about things and making decisions that may not have otherwise been needed to be thought upon & decided right now.....

I think its fantastic that both you & DH are on the same page - I can't imagine being the one that wanted to keep going when he was done or vice versa.
Its an exciting time where you can think about future plans for yourselves that otherwise may not have been an option if you continued to cycle...

FWIW I know its completely normal to feel the way you do - and you may forever have that little thought or feeling that says "am I done?" - I'm not in that position presently but I know from talking to other girls (and especially a few here on BB like Sushee & BW - I hope you girls don't mind me using you as examples ) - it may be something that you never stop pondering... but in answer to your question, I think its proven that its normal xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The other thing that I can say from experience - Luke is at present an only child & has been for 11yrs now - He has no issues at all with other kids at school or recreationally (with sport or socially etc)... so please don't let that be a concern for you.
I appreciate every child is different, but being an only child I believe, hasn't helped, hindered or made a difference as to how he 'fits' with other kids.
He is a spoilt child but not an ungrateful one.... and thats got more to do with us spoiling him because we love him - not from compensation trying to make up for what he doesn't have in being an only child, if that makes sense?
He's polite, well mannered, grateful & most importantly understands sharing, so I can promise you you won't have to worry about that as your DD grows

Lots of hugs & strength sweetheart - even when we seem to be stepping off the TTC/AC rollercoaster it still doesn't seem to make for an easy ride

Thinking of you.
