Wow this is a great post Rhiannon. I hear you! All those thoughts are so familiar to me too, and I guess lots of us! Kia kaha, whatever will be, will be... Melissa.
i wish all the best & lots of strength in the near future girly being a mom must be sooo draining, just thinking about it makes me exhausted!! although i know it has it's high points :)
Thanks hun! It IS draining, but you're right, it has its high points, and that makes it all worthwhile. You can spend a whole day crying because the baby just won't stop screaming, and then he'll gurgle and smile at you, and everything else just melts away. it's incredible.
I think that's something I man thought up who never knew his momma! I thought I had the patience if a saint before I became a mom, but holy hell where has that gone? I am so terribly impatient with my little guy when he is whiny. Argh, I had no idea I would be like that. Good luck with whatever happens. You will be fine, and remember not to be too hard on yourself. Whatever you are gonig through as a mom/family, there are thousands of us out there feeling your pain! ;)
Thank you! you really do tend to feel like you're the only one who feels certain ways, huh? I've never been a patient person, but for some reason I always presumed having kids would teach me to be patient? I'm not sure why? But it sure hasn't worked yet!
your family may not feel perfect, but it certainly sounds normal! hang in there kiddo. i think you are doing okay but i certainly understand your apprehension about potentially being pregnant again. keep us updated.
Thanks,I guess we probably are pretty normal, but its hard to see that when you're right in the midle of it, huh? I will surely let you all know when I find out either way! : )
Thanks Anke! I'm glad to hear that. I think I'm just worried I'll cross that thin line between 'perfect gap' and 'much too long gap'. My parents had me and my sister 6 years apart, and I barely know her. But I think it depends on the people and the family too.
