    So, I have slowly been giving away baby stuff and maternity clothes.  However, I was surprised this week when I realized I am sad to get rid of my favorite maternity items, even though they are going to friends.

    I'm 90+% resolved that I do not want another bio. kid.  I love my son soooo much, but I just don't think I can physically go through that again.  I am very excited about fostering and/or adopting in the future.  Also, if I did accidentally get pregnant, I would keep the baby. 

    I guess part of me was secretly hoping that I would change my mind and have 1 more pregnancy.  Considering how bad my back still is, however, I just don't think it is a good idea for me, plus I'm very likely to get PPD again.

    I know Mrs. DG you are KIND OF in the same boat.  Anyone else feel like they have random moments of mourning?  (It's not official that I won't have more yet, so I'm not sure how to process it.)  Oh, and I do know it's too early to decide, but I think I am doing much better with my PPD and still feel pretty resolved on not having more.

    I can't bring myself to give away the last box.  Hoping upon hope that we will have one more, that I will be blessed with a daughter.  I had some PPD with my first and maybe I was just more aware of the symptoms with the others, b/c I've been okay.  It's such a gift and it's sad for me to think those moments are behind me.

    Pregnancy and having a new born are such an exciting time. We are trying for our third and I know afterwards I will feel the same way. It will be sad to know that I will never feel a baby kick or anticipate labor-those good exciting things about pregnancy again:(
