[quote=Anonymous]I'm turning 40 this year and we have three kids, the youngest of whom is 8. We're finally at the stage where we can travel and do fun things with them and not have it be a huge hassle. I really don't want to start over with a new baby. The newborn period for us was pretty hellish all three times. None of our kids slept well, one of them was super colicky with acid reflux, could not be put down for literally months on end, it's extremely labor intensive even if you don't get a fussy baby, etc. etc. Plus, as bad as having a newborn in the house is, having a toddler was even worse. The thing is, I do really enjoy my older kids. It started around the time the youngest was 3-4, completely potty trained, outgrew naps and strollers, etc. If I could magic into being a four year old for our family, I'd do it in a heartbeat. So why do I feel jealous when friends announce new pregnancies? Does anyone else relate? Is this hormonal or peri-menopause or something?[/quote]
