He is almost 3 years old and I feel confident in the decision not to have anymore children. When I tell people this they look at me like I have 3 heads, which makes me question our decision. But we are very happy and feel our family is complete. Knowing that I still get the ache every now and then. Mainly when I see a picture or video of when Jaxson was a newborn and if I am going through his stuff and see something that brings back great memories it makes me miss him being so small. I know this will never go away. I have the feeling that my family is complete after only having one child. He is almost 3 years old and I feel confident in the decision not to have anymore children.

I too get the ache every so often. I am pretty sure that we are done, but every so often I can picture another baby for us. However, all I have to do is visit a friend who has a small baby and I seemingly get my fix....especially when I see all the diapers, bottles, etc. and hear those cries. I am happy with the ages that Carson and Hannah are right now! I love your post… I too get the ache every so often.

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 15:48:42 +0000 http://durhamregionbaby.com/?p=3983#comment-34035 I don't know if I'm not there yet or if I'll never be there, but I have no grief and haven't in the 9 months since my husband's operation. I can't think about children who will never be, even if I try. It's too abstract a concept. I think it might be because, up until I started dating my husband, I never thought I'd have children. And so, with two people I never thought would exist, my family is more than I ever expected it would be. I think a good analogy that I just thought up right now is this: My family, to me, is like a puzzle. All the pieces were put together and, with Avery, the puzzle is complete. I'm not searching for more or wondering what it would look like with more pieces, because I can see that it is complete. The edges are straight, there are no holes, the picture is perfect.

Not sure.
