[quote=Anonymous]Short answer, OP? Yes, I do get sad about it sometimes. Battled years of fertility treatments, had one beautiful child through IVF, followed by another failed cycle, then decided not to explore adoption b/c of the emotional & financial toll we had already gone through. My DD is wonderful and we are a very happy family of three, but she gets sad sometimes about not having a sibling, and it's still hard for me now that many of my older friends seem to be having "oops" babies. I did think it would get easier when I hit my forties and there'd be less baby showers, new babies in our circle, etc., but there are five new babies among our close circle of 40+ friends, just in the last seven months. So yes, I do feel sad about it sometimes, though I wouldn't point to any particular decision that we made that I would change. We are also enjoying the freedom that comes from having one, especially now that she's in school and we all have a lot more independence to do fun things together.[/quote]
