Child or Children?
Funny Story: When J and I got married, the Justice of the Peace was taking us through our vows perfectly until it came to the part where J was supposed to repeat “I take you, Samantha, mother of my children..” and instead said “I take you, Samantha, mother of my child..” (Haha right?) The Justice of the Peace was put a little off guard so when it was time for me to repeat, he was sure to correct himself. ”I take you, James, father of my child..” and I instead said “I take you, James, father of my children..”! Needless to say there were lots of chuckles and it served as a cute moment in what was becoming a rather tearful ceremony.
Fast Forward 3 years: Child, Children, Child, Children! Oh my..
J is very set on only wanting one. Now I am stuck in my head wondering if I only want TWO because he only wants ONE or if I really want two. Humph. How important is it to me? How important is it to G? These are decisions that seem too important for a pros and cons list; but I literally cannot sort out emotion from intellect when it comes to this issue. Any help in this department? I need it!
You know what I think…I want Rydie to have someone to grow up with, to share his memories with, play with on rainy days, and share the burden of taking care of their crazy momma. All things to consider…
Hey! There is nothing wrong with being an only child.

Hey Sam! It’s Liz (Mel’s friend, Ze’s mama). I found your blog on Mel’s blog.
What’s up?
So… I’m only having one and it’s hard on me. Being only 27 I feel like my very biology is raging against me telling me I NEED another baby. But K made it clear that he’s a one-and-done guy from the beginning and I can respect that. I have a great kid and I can pour all my energy/resources/time into her. When I get bummed about it I try to focus on gratitude for the health and happiness of my little family instead of wishing to change what it already perfect. It seems to help!
