Crunchy Country Dilemma: To Baby or Not to Baby?
Pardon me for being too personal but I suppose that's what blogging is: getting personal. So here's the country dilemma: to baby or not? I have been going back and forth since we moved here. And I think I cracked the code today. I don't want to share my daughter with my husband. She is in school for three hours a day now, so that does give me a tiny break, which I have been desperate for. But lately, those three hours are filled with running around working on our house that is still in progress. And although I often feel stressed and overwhelmed and always take on more than I should, my daughter and I spend all of our time together and we are very close. If we add another child to our family, I won't be able to love my daughter the same way. Obviously, I will always love my daughter and as life changes and we change, so will the way we love, but a baby needs. And needs a lot. And if a baby were to be brought into our picture, my husband would have to take over a lot with our daughter. And I don't think I am ready to lose her.... yet.

On the other hand...Tallulah is old enough to "help" with a new baby...and that makes for another beautiful mother/daughter bond.
ReplyDeleteAND...she would have a brother or sister to love for life.
(At least this is what I've observed with my daughter and her TWO children - Virginia (3-1/2 years and Graham - 8 months.)
AND...you do have that big beautiful house in the country.
Just sayin...
