All of my friends have either just had a baby, are pregnant now, or actively trying to get pregnant. I feel forced to do the same, yet neither my husband, nor I feel led to have another child right now (or possibly ever). Our son will be 2 in 2 weeks and I'm no where near ready to have a baby in our house. My son requires my attention more now than ever.Janhttp://www.three14creations.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214888787184795220.post-57708674805080402922011-10-18T20:35:59.585-07:002011-10-18T20:35:59.585-07:00It amazes me how much people think they have the ...It amazes me how much people think they have the right to tell another person how they should approach children and family. I don't have children and don't plan on it at any time soon. Each couple knows when the time is right for them. People need to respect that and keep their noses out of others business. Enjoy this time with your little family :) that is what matters most. :)The Dayleyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06641522794535557660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214888787184795220.post-19821700762544887782011-10-18T19:40:38.651-07:002011-10-18T19:40:38.651-07:00You have to have another one only when you are rea...You have to have another one only when you are ready!

They feel the need to remind us to keep our priorities straight and that our family is way more important than school, and I agree. But I don't think it's wrong to wait ONE YEAR until I'm done with school. Anyway. This is kind of like a post I wrote the other day. If you didn't see it, I talked about an analogy my therapist gave me about plates. We all have a plate. A lot of us try to shove WAY too much on a plate and then get made at the plate because it can't handle it. But really, a plate isn't designed t hold a whole turkey ten pounds of mashed potatoes, 2 dozen rolls, etc. You know what you can handle. Stick with it. It doesn't mean there is anything wrong with you. I personally think you sound like a great mother!Alexis Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13078793693594634917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214888787184795220.post-7524349217060881572011-10-18T17:15:01.961-07:002011-10-18T17:15:01.961-07:00I agree with everyone else, when you and your fami...I agree with everyone else, when you and your family are ready you will know, no doubt about it. There isn't a formula for the perfect family. I've realized that a lot of sibling interaction and love is what you make of it. If you make family unity and love a priority you'll all love each other. Whether you're 18months-2years apart or 5 years apart, it doesn't matter. But good luck, peer pressure stinks!Milliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15344211587262584551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214888787184795220.post-70512733780953033592011-10-18T16:39:30.725-07:002011-10-18T16:39:30.725-07:00So glad you are waiting for God's timing.

It is very difficult but I often feel a lot of peer pressure from others who have 3 or 4 kids, not to mention hearing advice that if I don't have them close together they won't be as close. But I have my hands full with two, and while I love them more than anything I am just not ready despite everyone else's encouragement as well as my own "baby fever" which I have to ignore because I am just NOT ready. LOL But you are right we have to expand ourselves before we expand our bellies again. :) Sincerely,<br />Tori<br /><br />http://the-edge-of-the-sky.blogspot.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03342075232547380195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214888787184795220.post-49442730693351319542011-10-18T15:55:43.417-07:002011-10-18T15:55:43.417-07:00I have two brothers, one I am four years older and...I have two brothers, one I am four years older and we are really close!
