What a squeeze!! I have had SERIOUS baby fever lately. Looking through the Munkees' baby albums and then looking at how BIG they are now, dampens mine eyes. Perhaps it is more of accepting that "that time" in my life has passed. You know, when you're [much] younger and you look forward to getting your license and driving, attending high school, going to college, meeting your future spouse and planning a wedding, having kids, etc? Well, I'm at the etc. part. haha! <sigh> I reminisce swaddling my bundles of joy in my arms and just gazing and SMELLING them for hours often. I miss that. I have decided that if and when I meet my "life partner in crime", I will be open to another. Children are amazing...UTTERLY amazing! Look at Benjamin! What a squeeze!!

A friend of mine asked me this question yesterday. I replied honestly - "I don't know". I have NO idea what the future holds for me in that department. But I'm ok with not knowing. I'm content being a "one hit wonder". :) In the meantime, all my friends are starting to have babies, so I get to snuggle and coo and then hand them over when they start crying. Funny.

But lately, I miss that little tiny bundle and the dependence. B is 9...and really busy. I miss my baby. I won't, sadly…I thought I was fine with that.

Different times, dating a guy, usually younger than me, that question would arise, was I willing? Now though, I think with my kids older I have decided probably not. I was willing a few years ago, but now as much as I do miss holding a baby and all the beautiful wonderful things that come with that stage of life, I would have to say.... no. No more for me. But at your age... you need to definitely consider it when that wonderful great guy comes along! Over the years since my divorce, I have thought about this question more than once.

Now that she is one year I am missing the little baby cuddles and gurgles and I realize that having a baby is actually worth going through pregnancy and labor for. I think 3 or 4 total will be perfect, who knows! I'm 26 so I have time, and you definitely do too. BTW my mom had me when she was 30 and my youngest brother when she was 43. :) If/when I get married I will definitely have more…it's funny because after I had my daughter I said never ever again will I go through that!

I personally feel "done" in the baby department (most of the time) but I think that if I met the right person, who wanted to have more, then it definitely wouldn't be out of the question for me. I remember once, years ago, before I had any children, having the feeling that I was going to have 3 kids one day. Of course, with life being what it is, it's entirely possible that the "third" could be a step-kid.... who knows? At this point I'm interested in seeing what life brings my way... Another one?

I'm a pretty young, single mother too and my current BF asked me if I would have another one and I took it as an overt sign of hostility! I "want" to maybe have another one but I'm so afraid of getting into the whole "single mom/family court/shit-for-brain's baby daddy" thing again ... So ... I wonder about that question a lot ... Awww … these are great!

If so, no one would yearn for another to add to the pack. LOL Clearly, no one above has a 16 year old daughter! If so, no one would yearn for another to add to the pack. LOL
