I have been step mum to ds 7 and dd for 2 yrs, they spend most weekends with us and pretty much always have done. DH and I are lucky that we have an excellent relationship with his ex, especially as he ended marriage to be with me.
We are expecting our first child together at the end of this month! I'm obviously stupidly excited. Everybody is very pleased us and can't wait for our new arrival- although PIL have made a few comments that " you won't want to do it again " and " the sensible ones only do it once". I appreciate that it will be DHs third dc and he Is 6 yrs older, but I'm only 31 and as an only child who has always hated the idea of having just 1 child, I know I have SDC but it's not the same as having your own babies is it? Feel like i'm being told to be happy with my lot and be grateful for one dc of my 'own'. Even DH has made noises now that he's not keen to have anymore. I just feel a little gutted that my first dc will be my last especially when DH and I had always talked about having children plural.

As a step mum is it unreasonable to think about future dc -one on the way!
