As you've heard me mention in other post, I'm a happily married mother of two. I've been married for ten years to my high school sweet heart. I had my first child at eighteen and my second at age twenty three. My children are now ages fourteen and nine. I ALWAYS said I never wanted anymore children!! When my daughter was just an infant and I stood in the shower crying my eyes out I vowed I would never go thru that again.
Well about a year ago....something changed. Although I kept this to myself for months on end simply because I couldn't say it out loud, I felt some kinda way about how I was feeling. What was it? Some call it baby fever but I had never felt it before so why would it start now. I dealt with in in silence, secretly thinking how nice it would be to have another little one running around and to be pregnant again. To go thru pre school and all of life's first.
I finally decided to talk to my husband about how I was feeling, thinking he's gonna think I'm crazy as hell. To my surprise my husband was completely on board with the idea! Wow all this time I was sorta afraid to tell him and he was thinking the same thing. We talked about it and continue to talk about it, well mostly I continue to talk about it and question many things.
1. Have we waited too late, our kids are getting pretty big it's like starting over?
2. Is it the right decision?
3. Are we too old.....Don't answer that
4. How will the kids take it, will they be happy or annoyed at a crying baby?
5. What if something goes wrong?
These are just a few things I continue to question. Were dealing with some things financially also, not major but our four bedroom two bathroom home as most homes right now, the interest is INSANE and we are trying to stay above water but hell some days I just wanna throw in the towel and down grade to something more affordable. I love my house and two car garage, we all have our own space here but it's getting to be unworthy of the hassle. But as Tyler Perry said " you're worried about your house and how you gonna pay this and what the neighbors are gonna think, hell they struggling too....don't worry about what they think, MOVE!" I just feel like such a loser to think of having a child and living with my mom or in an apartment. I have my health, I have a loving family and in my heart I want to expand my family and the thought of creating another life with my husband makes me feel all warm inside.
I trip myself out that I have all these questions and stress myself out. Granted it's a huge decision but honestly most people don't consider having kids they have sex and end up pregnant. Hell some women don't even know who fathered their child and here I am in a loving marriage for several years and I hesitate.
Until next time!
