Decisions, decisions

Right now, more than at any other point in my life, I find myself surrounded by friends in varying life stages, especially when it comes to kids. I have a few single friends without kids. One who is contemplating her first. A few who are thinking maybe a second child is in order…at some point. One who has begun the adoption process. And a few who have decided they are done with babies.

It  has been interesting to watch each make their decisions or waffle in their indecision. I admit that when it came to both of our kids, I wasn’t sure I was ready to take the leap. With #1 I had a fear of giving up my independence. With #2, I had a fear of juggling a baby and a toddler. Somehow I have survived both…so far.

So tell us, how did you make the decision to have kids? Did you always picture yourself as a mother? Was it a surprise with no turning back? And, how did you decide to be one-and-done or a mom to more? Or have you yet to make that definitive decision?

Put It On My TAB 5 pts

I had always been the girl to never want kids of my own, but would love to settle down with a man who already had kids so he wouldn't expect them of me. Well I was fortunate enough to find the perfect man for me...he was divorced with 2 wonderful boys. He accepted me for who I was and didn't pressure me to have children of my own. It accidentally happened though. The whole time I was pregnant with my son I worried I wouldn't be a good mother because I had told myself I wasn't meant to have children of my own. He's almost 1 1/2 and I'm so in love with him! Now I'm thinking about having another one. My biggest concern of having one more is that the experience won't be as great as it is with my son. He's the sunshine in all of our lives and it would be amazing to multiply that.
