We've decided, after four of our own children and my two stepchildren, that we have finished adding to our family. Even though I feel the urge every so often to have another child, the desire to be done with around the clock "baby" seems slightly stronger - enough to where I am not devastated over not having another child. Now when I hold them, I enjoy returning them to their mommies when they start crying. That's a great sign that I am over the major urge to keep reproducing. Considering I have felt that urge since my teens (seriously!), it's been a long time coming. I have four beautiful kids of my own and the maternal bond is strong and we couldn't be happier.
I have a sister due to have her second child soon. It's been 15 years since she had her last child so it will truly be starting over with sleepless nights, around the clock feedings, and diapers. She's had her baby shower already and I'm sure received many baby gift baskets full of necessities for her future second son.
