Last baby and it feels so so sad - anyone else feel the same?

I have been incredibly blessed - four healthy children (2 of each) all 6 and under. They are my world and I am totally besotted. My last baby is now two weeks old and I know that he will be my last - hit the big 40 and want to have enough time to devote to my gorgeous children.

But....it is so sad. I feel really sad when I look at him knowing I will never hold a newborn, hear that precious newborn cry, have a tiny baby grab my finger. And knowing I will never wear those maternity clothes again, see a pregnancy test turn positive, feel a baby kick, see that gorgeous dress on a little one again.

My husband keeps teasing me - telling me to get rid of all my baby stuff, to enjoy my two week old as he is the last. It makes me feel really sad. I can't help thinking 'never say never' but know it would be the wrong thing and I would only feel the same way next time. So I just need to get over it.

Is this just me or do most people feel happy when they know their little bundle is their last. It just feels so final Sad.

Sorry again Arizonagirl! Wink I know exactly what you mean momino, it's going to cost a small fortune for 6 of us to fly, but we're hoping to go next fall, so will have been 3 years since our last trip... Thankfully my parents travel a fair bit so we see them a couple times a year. Still not easy though! Video chats make all the difference. Otherwise my children wouldn't know who any of my family were when we do get to visit!

No worries - guess that's another reason to stop at four Wink
