Lurker question

in One & Done: Only child
Hi ladies. I'm bumping from my phone so siggy may not be visible. However I was just lurking on this board bc I've been feeling very emotional this last week. I hope you don't mind me posting here.

Short background I'm 29, married and just had boy girl twins 3 months ago. Yes I realize that this isn't one child but it was one pregnancy. Dh and I tried for about 18 months to get pregnant after which I was diagnosed with pcos. We got pregnant with twins on our third medicated cycle. I'm so in love with them even though its very difficult taking care of two babies. But I find myself almost mourning the fact that I'll probably never get pregnant and have another. Dh is dead set against more children. And I find myself getting very emotional packing their newborn clothes away and also thinking of never having another child. Is this normal? I didn't necessarily love being pregnant. But I obviously love the end result. Anyway I know I have 2 children but thought it would be ok to post since I only have has one pregnancy. Thanks for any support...

    Even though my H and I are OAD, I still can't bring myself to sell clothes and gear that we won't use again...

    We are OAD and I have a hard time packing away his clothes. His newborn ones were the hardest and now I just throw his stuff in the "get rid of" bin. 

    So yeah I think it's normal.

    1. Of course you can post here!

    2. I am sure these are completely normal feelings that many one-time moms feel.  Those little clothes are just so tiny and cute.

    3. If I felt like you did, I would also try to remember some of the extrem

    I think it's totally normal. My DD is 2.5, and just this last winter I finally got rid of all the stuff I wasn't saving. And inexplicably, I have hung onto some of my cutest maternity clothes. I have no idea why.

    Just give it time!! The

    I am confident those feelings are totally normal and I think that is for anyone after their last pregnancy one and done or baby number 3. I miss DD as a baby, but I think missing her baby years and actually wanting another baby are two totally different t

    I send everything to my SIL. She is pregnant and thinking about my little niece or nephew being able to use the clothes makes me feel good.

    I second PP's suggestion to get excited about the next phase and buy clothes for all the new things th

    Totally normal. I'm saving all of DD's clothes (with the exception of a few sentimental pieces) for my sister. I'm OAD but am having a hard time letting go of it.

    I also lurk here and have b/g twins. We also don't plan to have another one because of the fertility issues we faced when ttc the twins.

    I get emotional when packing up the twins' stuff, and I even keep the really touching stuff, but my extreme
