Parenting after 35
I want another one...
I SO LOVE being a mom this time around and am contemplating, yep, starting again. Just one problem, money! LOL! I stopped working when I got pregnant and things are tight and I don't want to take away time from my LO, but I SO want to do this again...
I didn't tell those who know me on TB that I lost my one and only brother the day I came home from the hospital after having my baby. This baby's birth gave me tremendous joy and helped me deal with that great loss. I tried very hard to focus on this little baby as I knew it would go by so fast as my children are 23, 18 and 15 years old.
They love this baby to pieces and say he's changed everyone's life for the better. Just having a moment and thought I'd share. Not sure if I'm going to take that leap and go for it again, I will just enjoy LO in the meantime...
*And I'd like to add that I named my baby after my brother not even knowing he would pass.

Re: I want another one...
First of all.. I am so sorry Pearly for your loss,... I can't imagine going through that while having a new baby..
but WOW!!! you named T'Kai after your brother before he passed... that's wild. I know how babies help you through the grief process.. My sister had twins when my mom died.. one of them looked (looks).. so much like my mom... and I remember just seeing that familiar looking little smiling face helped me through our loss. My daughter is named for her and she has her face, too.. (I named her while I was pregnant) and it turns out she looks like her.. has similar personality/ disposition and even her giggle is the same!
It is something about new life.. the whole circle of life- death--new life.. plus babies are pure .. innocent... JOY.. aren't they? Glad for you that your little one has brought you so much JOY...
Wow! Two of my sisters had twins after my mother passed. My 1st sister found out she was pregnant the week after my mother's services. Yes, children definitely bring pure joy. My brother had 4 children and 3 grandkids and I love on them double for him. With my new baby, it's like I have a whole new lease on life and I'm not taking one day for granted. With my previous children, I was in an abusive marriage so most of that time is a blur. I don't take walking with my LO for granted or seeing him smile at me. That mother/child love - when you look in each other's eyes and know that everything is going to be alright.
