My husband, a very precious man and wonderful father, would love for us to have another baby. Our baby just turned two this month. When we had her I said that was it. I have two other children, teenagers, from my first marriage. On any given day my attitude about possibly having another child can change. I have tried putting pro's and con's on paper and all that stuff, but you know, when it comes to a child all that black and white stuff never really does make sense. On top of that, it always comes out about even steven. I turned 40 on the same day my baby turned two. Being her mom has been a rollercoaster for me. She had collic, and the idea of that terrifies me, but I wouldn't have missed her for the world. (yuck, I am full of cliches today.) I am 40 and feeling this now or never pressure. Not from my husband. He doesn't pressure me about it. I just know he would be delighted to have another child. Here's my question. Anyone out there my age, how did you go about making this decision? I am waiting for this huge peace to come over me. I told my husband I couldn't do it unless I could find some real peace about it. I just would love some feedback on this issue. I am very healthy. Being 40 isn't a problem that way. I will stop before a ramble any more. Thanks!
