Becoming a Mother
There was a moment in my life many years ago when I knew that our lives were going to change. I had been married a few years and we had talked about having a...
Something that I have struggled with the past several years is the question of “Is my family complete?”
Is it? Honestly I don't know but lately I have been leaning towards yes.
But it pains me a little to say that.
It pains me because I love babies. I love my babies. I love the feel of being pregnant. I love knowing that I am nurturing this life inside of me.
I love breast feeding. I love raising children. I love them when they are babies. When they are toddlers. And most of the time after that.
I get choked up when I look at the beautiful faces of my children. Every time I look at the picture above, it makes me smile.
My kids have asked several times about having another brother or sister. My son especially wants a baby brother although I have explained several times that it is not like the store where you just get to pick.
Our last child was born with a heart defect which means that there is definitely a possibility that any future children could be born with this same defect.
We live in a three bedroom house. Everyone shares a room except the dog.
Financially we are stable and we could probably afford it. But my youngest started school and I am really doing well in my social media consulting business.
Am I done? Are we done?
Many signs are telling me yes but my heart is saying no. I am not getting any younger and tomorrow I am celebrating a pretty big milestone birthday.
Although I am not saying yes…I haven't fully decided on no either. This is something I struggle and something that I have been thinking about more and more lately.
Am I done? Are we done? Is this our family?
How do you know for sure?
I'm curious to know: How and when do you decide your family is complete? Join the conversation and be entered to WIN the designer handbag of your choice (Up to a $500 value) from Essure!
