...as I spritz my orchid for the third time today...
...if I have time and space enough in my life to mother my orchids the way I used to do before Charlie was born, do I have time and space enough for another baby?
I think probably...
What do you think?
(p.s. no announcements, just musings going on this evening!)

You'll make space, but everyone has to give on the time thing. Can't make more of that. It's a huge adjustment. BUt once you've got them, you can't imagine doing it any other way (I say as Moira crawls over and pulls herself up on my chair and gives me a giant raspberry on my exposed flank.)
I think you're crazy!!!!!!
Oh wait, I mean, children are a blessing.....
;)
Both of your friends are right, love. You are crazy to think of complicating your life, yet you are also crazy to not let your life be complicated.
I think it comes down to trust. Will you trust God to be in you through Christ who you need to be? Will you trust Him to supply what you need to be mother? Will you let Him love you and them through you?
I'm glad your dad and I were crazy enough to have you and Erik and Jon!
Love,
Mom
God knows the family for you. Let Him lead you. What would our life have been without our three boys? I don't know. But we know what our life has been with our three boys...wonderful!

My opinion is, Yes! I have found, now that I have two, that two children are not double the work of one. Plus, having adjusted to having one child makes the adjustment to two children easier -- I already know how to care for a newborn, and that I have to significantly lower my expectations as to how much of my to-do list will get accomplished in a day. Actually, I think I am enjoying Kessa's babyhood a lot more than I enjoyed Elijah's -- and I loved his baby days (despite the sleepless nights and other downsides)!
