Another?
How do you decide if you want baby number two?
I adore being a momma, Spencer is a wonderful baby who aside from not being a great sleeper is very easy. Juggling work and home has its challenges but the bottom line is, I'm happy. Blissfully happy. And I wonder about upsetting the apple cart.
Of course it may be a moot point since it was such a difficult journey to have him. I don't know who I'm kidding pondering 'do I want another' as though it was as easy as just making a decision. But divorcing myself from reality, I'm just not sure.
I always thought I'd have two kids. Recently we were out to breakfast and watched an older couple dote on their 10-year-old kid. They were so indulgent and I can only imagine that the kid was an absolute brat. I leaned over to my husband and said we should really have another so we don't ruin Spencer. But surely you can have an only child and not become overly indulgent, can't you?
I'm on the eve of turning 40, I have an appointment with my ob-gyn next week and I know she'll ask what my plans are. Realistically I don't have the luxury of time. If I want to go down this path, I need to get started.
But how do you know?

I have been pondering this very qustion, and I am just so stumped I have no idea. My issue is "do I want to go through bed rest again"? And the whole being on the eve of 40 is a factor too... though I may consider this after the weeone turns 2...
