For now….
I am sure this has happened to every parent everywhere!
Your first child is barely home from the hospital, you have not cooked in days and you and your partner are still figuring out how to keep this tiny little miracle alive.
Then the first trip (with your shiny new baby, showing off the nice stroller) to the shops happens and you bump into someone you haven’t seen in a while. And they of course meet little baby, and they coochie coo, give their little hand a squeeze, look up and ask…
“So when are you having another one…?” In your mind you are trying to figure out how on earth can they ask that?! My cesarean stitches have not even dissolved yet and I am still wearing my pregnancy pads?!
You take a deep breath, smile politely and say… “maybe in a few years, we want to concentrate on this little one for now.”
The thing with me is that, I have always wanted a baby, since I can remember. If I got married or not, adoption was my option!
But after we saw how much we spent on medical bills in the first year (to be shared in upcoming post)… It will be a very, very, very long time before we even, if ever, start to apply for our adoption baby.
Because this body, will not go through pregnancy again (upcoming post)
So each to his own, some people want to have a bunch of kids immediately, others wait a few years, others wait decades and others are more than happy with one.
Our little girl has so much personality that we might as well could’ve had twins. So my husband and I fall in the last category, we are more than happy with one
for now…
