would you 'go again'

How Strange

Something happens around the 12 month mark where you can go from never again to maybe soon. On my son I couldn't even contemplate it up to a year but after that I found myself gradually warming to the idea of no.2. I think 18 months is the big marker as the baby is usually sleeping better/regularly sleeping through the night by then. Even this time around I feel since my daughter turned 18 months that everything has gotten a little easier.

Oh, dear Lord, no!! My eldest is 21, then 14, then little one who will be 3 in January. Technically, I would still be young enough, as in I know women of my age who have had a new baby. But after the last little one was born, I felt mentally slow for about 2 years. Like the smallest decision was so hard to make, everything seemed insurmountable. Although the first two were brilliant sleepers from 6 -8 weeks, this little one still rarely sleeps through. If she does, she is up extra early . I am mostly a groggy mess!! Anyway I've already had 3 sections, and wouldn't be keen on a 4th. So physically and mentally, I will have to pass
