I would love more dc but with no man on the scene I'll have to wait.
A good friend has announced her pregnancy and I am chuffed for her but i do feel a twinge of sadness.
I know that a lot of my friends are going to announce their's soon and I want to join them!

kind of, sometimes
I want a holiday somewhere hot more tho, and it's about as likely
there's always something to want isn't there?

i know it's hard to believe, but just enjoy the fact that you only need to pay the childcare for one child. you can get your life back up and running. i am so stuck and trapped because i have two. and they never stop fighting!

MaggieTaSeFuar · 26/01/2010 23:38

i want a holiday, a house, a car, a job and a man. That's all.

MaggieTaSeFuar · 26/01/2010 23:38

i should rearrange that list. put job at the top. never mind about the man.

If I had two i'd probably be ok.

Yes, I feel sad that DS won't have a sibling close in age, as I always wanted more than one. A lot of my friends seem to be announcing their second pregnancies at the moment too. But in a way I am glad it is just him because it is hard enough looking after him on my own, and would be harder with two or more.

I think I definitely want to have more children in the future with someone else. For the moment I will coo over and get broody about my friends' babies!

I have 2 (ds1 - 7y, ds2 - 4y tomorrow). I would have loved 3, but I don't see it happening.

Mostly because although I would love another baby I would want to be in a stable loving relationship before that happens, and I am 38 this year and feel for me that that is too old - not necessarily too old to have another baby, but I don't want early teens when I am in my 50's.

lol at maggie
posh I have two, and I don't really want more, but on the other hand knowing it's not even a possibility is an odd feeling
I'm in my 40s though. Hope you find what you're looking for, it is odd being at a diff stage from your friends. Try and focus on the good things in your life rather than what is missing and chances are it will work out for you, I hope it does

MEEEE!!

Everyone seems to be having babies atm and I am so so happy for all of them but urgh, knowing I wont have one for a very long time if ever is a bit upsetting. I had always wanted my DS to have a sibling close in age. Never mind. Maybe it is meant to be one day, maybe not.

Me!

I always wanted 4, I have 3.

Only recently have I started to accept that it is unlikely to ever happen.
