And reality hits-sold my maternity clothes

Heather2884 · March 2013

Hello. My daughter is almost 6 months old. I had a very difficult pregnancy with 8 months of bed rest as scheduled c-section. I still can't hardly talk about the pregnancy. The only thing I have to say is we are grateful we are both here and very fortunate to have our beautiful daughter. We had originally planned on two children, but my body would not be able to handle pregnancy again and honestly, I don't want to live another year like that. It was a easy decision healthwise, but sometimes it still makes me sad. Lately, I have had several people tell me I am doing my daughter wrong by making her an only child. I usually ignore these comments, but I think it must have affected me more than I realized. I sold all my maternity clothes on ebay last week ( a great idea by the way) and once I mailed the packages had a total breakdown. I guess that was good because afterwards for the first time I felt very content with our family and I know we are not doing her wrong.
