Post Christmas Blues
I'm sad that Little One doesn't get to play with her cousins often enough. It makes me feel like we should contemplate having another baby just so Little One doesn't grow up alone.
It's not that she's "alone" alone. She really isn't. She gets lots of interaction with children her age. We have play dates, play groups, parties, get togethers, and outings with other kids. She just doesn't have a sibling...yet. Part of me thinks we should just have another child. The other part worries about having another preemie and the scary experience we had with my pregnancy with Little One.
In the meantime, she's got her horse, her dog, and her blankie.
I thought it was so cute how she piled her security blanket and her stuffed doggy onto her rocking horse with her.

City girl moves to the country, falls in love, and marries a farmer. She tries to incorporate her city ways with her new country lifestyle and blogs to keep in touch with friends, family & students who live far, far away :) Can this city girl go country? Watch as she learns all sorts of exciting things about life on the farm and in a small rural community. *UPDATE* We are now parents! Our baby girl was born on Nov. 11, 2008 (at 28 weeks gestation- 12 weeks premature, but she's quite the trooper)!!!

Maya's an only child, and she's OK. No one to fight with. However, she's asked for YEARS if she could have a little brother or sister, and I do think that they could play together and be happy. :)

You're right. Only children can turn out perfectly fine :) I wonder if we don't have another one and years from now she asks us for a sibling. What would that feel like? Ugh. Big lump in chest right now. Part of me wants to have another one, but part of me feels that one is perfectly fine too. Ahhh...
I always thought I'd want two, three, four or even five children. Now I think one is hard enough. Two would be great. I don't know.
Then I also think about how expensive it is to have children. I mean, clothing them, feeding them, sending them to school...Oh, and when it's time for university??? The more kids, the more expensive. I'm getting way ahead of myself here. I need to tell my brain to slow down a bit. LOL!
I'd settle for the hobby horse!
Happy New Year C !!!!
Hi C! I know just how you feel, I am suffering withdrawal from my brother and his family, who spent 12 wonderful days here with us over Christmas. I haven't seen him in a year and a half, and they totally surprised me by showing up for Christmas! Now it just feels so quiet again...
As for another baby, just a couple of thoughts..one being that every pregnancy is different, and perhaps the next time they can prevent a premature delivery.
Also..it is just fine to have one child..and although we have 3, mine still ask for another brother or sister, and our oldest is 18!
You will know what is right for you..you will be able to feel it and know beyond a doubt that it is the right thing for your family. Just enjoy yourself in the now and don't get too caught up in wondering what to do. I think we just seem to "know" when the time is right.
Happy New Year!
today is the day I like least- taking down all the Christmas decorations. the house always looks so empty
Uncivil:
LOL! I figured you'd say something like that! ;) Happy New Year to you and the girls, Jimbo! xx
Ellie:
Thank you for this, my lovely friend! Hopefully you'll find yourself back on the Island sometime and we can lounge on my deck, have a tea and watch the sunset! You've been such a great friend. Thanks for that! xx

I always wondered what the protocol was for taking down Christmas decorations. Mine are still up and it's the second week of January!!! lol
