Am I done with kids? I mean, the rest of the year, I’m happy with what I have. I’m blessed with two happy healthy kids…but this time of year makes me question all of that. That longing to hold a newborn…its just so strong for me right now. I hear of pregnancies, and newborns and I tear up. My nerves are so fragile right now. I’m so confident the rest of the year, that I’m good…I don’t want to be pregnant again – its scary for me. But right now, I’m so jealous of those beautiful belly’s, and those cherub newborns…I really want one. But it’ll pass. After this week, my heart and soul won’t be so fragile…and I’ll remember how difficult and scary being pregnant is…and I’ll be back to “HELL NO” to haveing more kids.

Hey Kathy,
So sorry to be late in getting back to this. Hope you are having a more gentle holiday season.
By way of funny– when I read “am I done with kids I thought it might be a post about an exasperated mom! I understand that longing for a baby. Funny– I was thinking the same thing last week. But now in my early 40′s I am resigning myself to Jens and Lake being my last babes. I even thought of deleting my link to “baby stuff” on Craig’s list.
Take care friend– thanks for the lovely Christmas card.
Love,
Kathy
