My husband and I made the decision after our daughter was born to go for the permanent birth control option (him, not me...I ♥ him). One quick trip to the Dr and a couple bags of frozen peas later we were officially done having kids. Most days I am still completely at peace with our choice. But last night snuggling the few day old baby of a friend I once again yearned for a new baby.
Part of the problem for me is that I had children before many of my close friends. Now that they are all starting their families I want to re-experience it all with them...with my own babies. I also hate the fact that money played a role in our decision. We had the so called "millionaire family" a boy and a girl, we would need to buy a new car to have another child, I would likely have to go to work at least part time, family passes everywhere are for families of 4!! the list of "reasonable" reason to stop having kids goes on and on.
But there will, I really believe, always be a part of me that wishes I was going to have another baby...and another....and maybe just one more
Can you blame me when the ones I have are so darn cute?!

DITTO! Yup, let me say that again, DITTO!
Newborn babies are so snuggly, how could you not want one? Been 5 years since my last and just when I think, no I couldn't possibly want another, that feeling just sneaks up on me. I think it's just what we women probably experience the rest of our childbearing years.
Gotta keep having friends have babies, I suppose!
