The comments are really starting to get to me about if and when we’re having more! I was wondering if anyone else is struggling with this as well. There are so many reasons why we’re choosing to have one child, not that I need to justify it to anyone.. But it still hurts because I DO miss the whole process, even though at times it was absolutely miserable (Lol).

Pregnancy was hard, my job is stressful, I feel like I will have no time for 2 kids once I’m back to work. I had blood pressure issues during pregnancy with an early induction. This is still not fully resolved even though I’m trying so hard to lower it. I had a traumatic birth/c-section which I don’t feel fully healed from still. My hubby doesn’t want more, we have a fussy baby and wouldn’t want more until our son is like 4 or 5. By that point my hubby would be 40...

But It’s still so hard when my parents only have one grandchild, and they haven’t seen him due to the pandemic. It makes me feel like they are missing their only experience with a grandchild (my sister doesn’t want kids). But I can’t have kids just to please others. We’ve thought about adoption down the road but that isn’t decided and I know nothing about the process other than it’s very difficult.

Anyways, that is my rant for the day. Just needed to tell someone.
