And pretty much the only only around.<BR/><BR/>I am anxious. I want another/more children. But it was hard the first time and will be hard this time too. And I like the way life is, and I'm afraid to change. And I'm afraid of how a 2nd child will change my life, my job/work, my marriage.<BR/><BR/>And on top of that, my husband really wants it. So much that I often feel pressured. But he's not finished with his dissertation either and I am the employed one.<BR/><BR/>The only support I can say is that you must do what you will do on your schedule. There is nothing that will make it better or easier if youdo what someone else wants youto do or what someone expects you to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21166038.post-24426222487683001132009-01-06T10:36:00.000-05:002009-01-06T10:36:00.000-05:00Oh, honey, you're not standing alone.My girl will ...Oh, honey, you're not standing alone.<BR/>My girl will be two tomorrow, the day I take the family who had a baby one day before me food because they just had another last week. I'm not going to be fertile forever, and still no ring. I decided to enjoy some "me" time: sleep through uninterrupted nights and work out when baby's in bed. <BR/><BR/>You've got the right attitude. You'll have another; maybe many more. If you had a baby now, you'd come up with the money. Waiting is probably more sane. But I'm not sure having children is a particularly sane enterprise to begin with. Sort of divine madness. But that being said, you are right to do what is best for you as a family, and not worry about what everyone else is doing.Marcela Sulakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06232403389788282812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21166038.post-62408993009335631242009-01-06T10:30:00.000-05:002009-01-06T10:30:00.000-05:00I can kind of relate to how you are feeling. I jus...I can kind of relate to how you are feeling. I just had my first this past September, but this was after being married for 5 years and watching many of my friends having one, two, or even three children. Even though I didn't want kids at the time, I still felt some sort of envious feeling. I will probably not be able to have another child for a while either. My husband recently lost is job and is in the (slow) process of opening his own company.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
