Sort Of. For Now.
I've become so obsessed with trying to get pregnant that it's pretty much stopped my life. It feels like Doodles is having to compete for my attention against a sibling that doesn't even exist yet, and that just seems incredibly selfish (on my part) to me. Plus, he's just starting to learn new things, for instance today he helped me to make pink milk & porridge & I was so overwhelmed with pride I started crying. I don't know if I want to share that with another child yet. And there are so many things I want to do in the next couple of years.
So, we're not going to try anymore but we're also not going to prevent as, despite everything I've just written, I know that any child that comes into our family is going to be a welcome and loved addition, maybe once Doodles has gone to school and we've done everything we need to do (particularly clearing all of our debts) we'll actively start trying again, who knows we may have already had our sticky by then, but we'll just have to wait and see x
(p.s I'm not leaving, so this isn't a goodbye thread x)
