Broody but can't believe I've just said it

Feeling very strangely broody which I feel very guilty or as I have two wonderful children (8, 10) so well into school and getting on well with learning to be self sufficient etc which is great. I couldn't wait until I got to this stage as to be honest I found the baby/toddler stage very hard and at times I can honestly say I didn't enjoy it - can't believe I'm saying that out loud but I guess the sleepless nights, picky eater, trantums, teething and losing a little piece of me just got me down. Feel absolutely terrible saying that as they are truly wonderful.

However I'm now starting to feel like I would really love another baby. I don't know where this has come from but I just keep feeling that I would enjoy all those little moments again as an older mom and because my other two are older it would be exciting for them too. I'm almost 40 so I don't think realistically it will happen but has anyone else felt this way? Am I just forgetting how difficult it all is now that I'm
Not up every hour of the night with a newborn??? I keep looking at moms with little babies in prams and it's fuelling the desire.

I don't know what I'm expecting from this post other than to just talk out loud with people who have felt the same way
