The oldest is a junior this year and the youngest is in the third grade. If we never have our own, their firsts may be my last as well. I understand your pain to an extent, hun.

I was 42 when I had Adam and I was constantly thinking "I'll be 60 when he graduates high school, 64 for college, etc." Now 2 yrs later, I ocntinue to play that game when I think about another child. On the one hand it would be nice to move on to the next phase of life, but on the other hand I'm not sure I'm ready to be done with little ones.

And while it isn't fun to feel this way, it makes me feel better than I'm not alone, and in the same manner neither are you, in thinking/feeling this way!! The only way I've been able to reconcile it, is just enjoy it and live it to the fullest and not think about it being the last first. Honestly, it doesn't always work, but it helps me to make sure I stay in the moment and not let my thoughts and worries overtake the first.

It's a big bummer.<br /><br />I think its easier on me since I know I'm done and I can truly appreciate these being my last firsts. When I was going through all of allison's firsts, I didn't ”mourn” them being my lasts. And then the ttc #3 started to get hairy and the fact that I may not get a chance to have another baby started creeping in and I felt gyped. I didn't appreciate allison's firsts as my last firsts. Instead I pushed those feelings aside assuming I'd have another baby. But now that I have Karl, I'm appreciating his firsts as my last firsts. I no longer feel like I've missed out. Does that make sense?nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04479202205264710056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8678310.post-40562802134315680702010-09-01T22:55:28.808-05:002010-09-01T22:55:28.808-05:00I hope your able to completely enjoy all of Gabe&#...I hope your able to completely enjoy all of Gabe's firsts even if they are your last firsts.battynursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02240029154165501340noreply@blogger.com
