[quote=Anonymous]I definitely feel sad sometimes.  I could list 100 reasons why having one child is the best thing for our family, but just last week at my GYN's office, a woman brought her newborn along for her appointment and when she showed him to me I immediately teared up; not like, oops, I'm a little emotional, but like, I'm about two seconds away from bursting into uncontrollable, ugly sobs.  I'm pulled it together, but, wow, the intensity of my reaction took me by surprise.  I also get teary when I get a Carter's catalog in the mail.  Why do they keep sending them?  My son is 9.

I consider myself very fortunate to have a child and I am grateful for him every day.  Just like when he was a baby and I would be happy to see him for the umpteenth feeding in the middle of the night, now when I hear "mom, mom" incessantly, I feel that little tug in my heart that reminds me how lucky I am.

And yet, I can't fully embrace the decision I've made and put the thoughts of another completely out of my mind.
