Some of the most mature, well-adjusted, and thoughtful grown-ups I know are only children. I hope another baby is in the cards for you if that's what you wish for. But whatever happens, you have a beautiful, smart, feisty little girl who is so lucky to be in your family!Lauren Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07358496490976869347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4845384595164369254.post-76144699021385264762013-10-18T20:14:59.085-06:002013-10-18T20:14:59.085-06:00I know that when you are trying every month seems ...I know that when you are trying every month seems like a lifetime, and sometimes the best thing you can do is say whatever happens is for the best. I was an only child and there were lots of very real upsides. Less financial stress, and also less logistical stress. My mom had tons of freedom to bring me along as a sidekick for many adventures that multiple kids would likely have been left behind on. I was also very comfortable and confident with adults, and amazing at entertaining myself.<br /><br />But... It did take us a while to conceive W. Only 8 or 9 months, but I was convinced I'd never have a baby and was a wreck. I did a lot of natural medicine and and acupuncture, who knows if it helped but something worked :) Then with baby #2 it was insanely fast... we thought we'd wait until W was two, and 8 months later ;) So you just never know. My hunch is that there will be another baby (or two!) for you guys. And if not, you do have one adorable little girl (that picture! so sweet). Try to avoid google. There are studies that say everything can reduce fertility, I'll spare you the list of theories I had for myself.

Mom had 1 miscarriage a few years prior to having us" the twins". Now you have to remember that there is 13 years between the last baby Nancy and the twins. AND that mom was 43 years old, dad 53. As mom's sisters said, "Dorothy's eggs were pretty stale". But we, (the twins) were healthy with very little problems. AND there were built in baby sitters (3 older children) to help my mother.<br /><br />My twin used Clomid to get pregnant for her first 3 kids, the 4th one came 3 yrs later as a "suprise". She was 38 yrs old. Sure, she was a little cautious about the possibility of complications, but didn't have any problems.<br /><br />Just keep a positive attitude and hopefully all will work out for you and your husband and if you only have Ms Alice, that's perfectly fine too. We love you. xo MomGrandma Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07320163238589678923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4845384595164369254.post-73426879806314583942013-10-18T07:52:35.916-06:002013-10-18T07:52:35.916-06:00Hugs to you, my friend.

Maybe we will be pleasantly surprised, but if not, I trying to accept that one child (and a healthy one, at that), is okay.<br /><br />It still stings when a pregnancy announcement is made, but I know that there are also a lot of benefits to having one.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17343287800025022075noreply@blogger.com
