It annoys me, alot... when people ask me how many children I want. As if I am allowed to determine how many children I can have. Did they forget about the whole God factor? It took us, what 3 years for one? Let's get real.
I am realistic and I am greateful for this MIRACLE and yes it pisses me off which you say having one child is selfish. Okay ... WTF? Strangers and those who do not know the TTC struggle, do not, I repeat do not, tell me what is selfish, what is fair and how miserable my only child will be.
So just to see my ability to deal with multiple children for more then 2 hours, DH and I had our nieces and nephews over, yes 3 kids. Can I just say one thing.... OMFG.
As I sit in my soon to be baby's room, I breathe ez, I smile. One is enough... One is more then enough....

I just wrote about how people are always asking me when I am going to have another child and how "socially unacceptable" these people think it is. If they only knew we have been trying for 2.5 years for #2....
