[quote=Anonymous]Right there with you, OP. I am an only, married to an only, with an only. I absolutely wanted more than one and got pregnant at 31 very easily, then went through years of unexplained secondary infertility before deciding to stop trying for another. DS is in early elementary school now and, most days, I am completely content with our little family. But there are days when something hits me the wrong way and I feel that pang for how I always imagined my life turning out, what might have been, what a great big brother DS would be, etc. I try to just let myself have that moment -- those feelings are still real and valid, after all! -- and then refocus on the great kid I have rather than on the child I wasn't able to have. I also agree with other PPs who've noted that you seem like a kind person and a great mom. Cut yourself a bit of slack, let yourself have this moment, and then get back to your lovely little family.[/quote]
