I too see a lot more benefit to one and can't imagine doing it all again. Maybe if it would just appear on our doorstep at age 1.5? But still, I like that having just one still allows you to do a lot more, just take them with you. And I was a singleton until I was nearly 12, so I know it's fine for Pumpkinpie too. <BR/><BR/>Anyhow - I also wanted to drop by and say it was nice to meet you and Lulu yesterday! So cute... she looks just like you.

The pressure to have two is sometimes overwhelming. This is a very personal decision and you are still young.

I'm leaning (no not leaning; already decided) that I am happy with the one. But the husband (being from an European background whose parents cannot understand why I wouldn't want 5 kids) wants one more...<BR/>I'm an only child and I turned out pretty good and was neither lonely or unhappy. My husband on the other hand rarely talks to his brother!!!!Gabriellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197466577705694153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23888863.post-1151440189877770732006-06-27T16:29:00.000-04:002006-06-27T16:29:00.000-04:00I read this twice.

For a bunch of reasons, we didn't rush into a second child but I am starting to change my mind about that ... now I have to convince daddy. But reading your post reminded me that if we can't agree (or my body has other plans - my son was not an easy conception) then there are lots of really wonderful, amazing things about having just one. Only doesn't have to mean lonely. I feel strongly about that.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17049745050947936354noreply@blogger.com
