Default Re: To have/not have kids.. how in the world do you make up your

Kristie, I don't think you are ever ready to have kids. I was not dying to have a baby, but I always knew I would have one, at least. I don't really think Rob knew if he wanted a child or not. IIRC, we talked about it and then decided to not try and prevent a pregnancy. I got pregnant w/in 6 months. Rob is a wonderful father. He adores our baby. He actually asked me the other day if I wanted another, I said I wasn't sure yet (I had a terrible time w/ Post Partumn Depression), he said he would like another. This from someone who said it didn't matter if he had kids.

It is a hard decision. Being a parent is the most wonderful, rewarding job and the hardest you will ever do, imho. I can't imagine my life w/o my baby. I miss him when he naps and at night. I love the smell of him, the fat little hands and feet. He is perfect angel. He is a gift. It really is amazing how much you love them.

I don't know if this helps or not. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Good luck in your decision.
