  • Congratulations!!!


    To a dear friend of mine who has discovered she is pregnant. She has been longing for another baby for what seems like forever, and now she will have her wish. It couldn't happen to a funnier, wiser and kinder woman on the planet - believe me. I guess the BabyGods have gotten it right finally.


    And for all of you wondering if I will go into a tailspin over this news - relax.


    I am finally, blissfully at peace with the notion of one child forever and ever. There's a tiny little nugget of sadness tucked away in the corner of my heart - but its not the big rock of anguish that it has been in the past.


    My kid is the coolest, the weirdest and the cleverest. I adore her and if having only one child means I can devote my attention to her quirks and her oddities and her silliness - then I am a happy woman.


    She really is a neat kid. I am perfectly content with her.

  • I'm happy for your happiness SM!  It sounds like you have made your peace with the subject of having more children.  That's great news about your friend too.

  • no, my kid is the coolest, the weirdest and the cleverest!  ha, ha!  you spoke what i think for sure...i can't really imagine having to split my attention for ry to another child...there's absolutely nothing wrong with having only one...

  • I still see another child in your future...

  • Congrats on your happiness! 

  • I feel the same way about my one and only kid.  The older she gets, the happier I am with her and her personality.  Plus, that was the deal I made with my unwilling body: "Please, if you'll just let me have one child, I promise to be completely happy with that.  I promise I will never try to take advantage of your reluctance again.  Just, please, let me have one."  And, although it was a veritable miracle, my body agreed to the one time, and look at what it gave me.  So I've kept my promise to it.   All happiness to your friend!

  • Hey! If you read my bandaid story, you'll know that MY kid is way up there, too. Ain't it grand?

    All I can say is AMEN SISTER.  It took me a long time to get here, too...and it's great now that I am.  I'm glad you feel this way.  It's the truth!
