In reply to I wonder if I'll ever have kids..., posted by alexandra_k on April 23, 2005, at 20:11:03
I wondered the very same thing, and had the same thoughts you are having right now. After I gave birth to my daughter, I knew there was nothing in this world that would compare to having a child. You really don't know what you are missing. I know we write about the drama, and all of our promblem, but I wouldn't go back and do it any differently. If you don't get along with your mother, then don't raise your children like she raised you. You know what not to do.
It's hard, and mistakes are made every day, but you learn from them. Don't worry about the weight gain, just get excercise and try not to overeat. You will be able to walk, everyone does. Look at all the people in this world! They all got here the same way! I was probably the most chicken of all to have a child (be pregnant), and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Not even close! My son looks like my husband, and my daughter looked like my husband until around the age of 16, now she looks a little like me.
I tell them I think they are the greatest, and they are my world. But I do have a life, and it doesn't revolve around them. We are doing our best, and just like other families, taking it day by day.
I realized it would have been a shame to live my entire life not having children, knowing how much they bring to my life. Would I have been: Bored? Yes, Lonely? Yes, Old? Yes!!!! I would have missed out on the greatest thing that ever happend to me. -L
