Many friends have been asking me if I would want a second child. Sometimes I find it hard to answer straight from my heart… I mean, it’s such a difficult decision. One part of me says ‘yes’ and another part says ‘are you sure’… I wonder why I’m in a dilemma.

As a matter of fact, I enjoy pregnancy to a certain extent but I think I don’t enjoy those sleep deprived nights. The first two years of a baby’s life can rob the mother of her sleep and rest and it is tiring! I made it a point to take prenatal vitamins when I was expecting and stayed active until my full term. It was a good pregnancy but I wasn’t too sure if I wanted to start all over again.

On the downside, my son is lonely and I know he likes company and friends. I feel for him and wonder if a new addition can add more ‘noise’ in the home. I wonder if he would welcome the change. I believe it’s more than just adding noise and presence but to enjoy the company of more family members getting together!
