So my last post was about the cost of having more than 1 child. My husband and I want more, but we're not sure we can afford it and at my age (I'm 38), we're not sure we can wait and try later either.
I'm torn. If we decide to stop at one, we can give Michael more, take him more places and do more things. On the other hand, my mom was an only child, and has wanted all her life to have a sibling. I have a sister and can't imagine being an only child. When our dad passed away suddenly, we depended on each other a lot. We constantly called and just cried together trying to get through it.
Earlier this year, our mom had some major health problems and spent almost 5 months in the hospital. One Friday night, my sister and I got a call from the doctors saying she wasn't doing well and we needed to come immediately (a lot easier said than done when you live 3 hours away). Once again, I don't know what I would have done without my sister. I love my husband dearly, but it's not the same. My sister and I have a bond that can never be broken. We may get upset with each other, fight, scream, whatever, but we'll always be sisters no matter what. I really want my son to have that.
My husband is one of three and just like me, he knows he can always count on his brother and sister no matter what happens.
That's about it for now. Our stove was one the fritz and so I had to take the day off to wait for the repair guy...now it's time to get my miracle baby and spend the rest of the day with him.
