So today over coffee with a good friend, she decided for me that we need to have more babies. Oh Tricia, how I love you, but 5 kids? Yes, she wants 5. I’m impressed, honestly. I admire her drive as well.
So for all of those who have been wondering, and yes those are many that wonder, we do want more children. Most likely just one more child. But, as I am not the most fertile person ever, fertility treatments have to be undergone to do so (there has been no types of birth control since we moved in together…almost 3 years ago). At this point in our lives we aren’t really ready to proceed with it … part me wanting to finish at least my undergrad. Other parts are things like us trying to be responsible and knowing we must move into a much larger house before babies can be thought of.
Then there is that other part of us, well at least for me, thinking about how I’m not getting younger. If I wait until after I have my first grad degree, I’ll be over 30. Um. Whoa. Over 30. Erik is also in need of someone else to play with. I can only hold his attention for so long until he starts acting out because he’s bored. He has mastered the art of playing alone by making things up and talking to himself as if he was talking to someone else. Poor kid. I wish we had other little ones for him to be around more often.
So, well, I guess time will tell. It will be another couple of years, though. If we are even able to conceive. Unluckily, I think this Mannino body won’t be able to house more than one more child. Having more than 2 c-sections in your lifetime is not a good idea, either.
