Feeling done
For a while after Lila was born I flirted with the idea of just one more baby, mostly to give Lila a sibling closer to her own age. More recently I’ve pretended out loud that I don’t want anymore kids, all the while thinking I might just want one more. Very recently I realized a whole bunch of helpful information about myself, and that knowledge has helped me reach the conclusion, that no, I don’t want any more kids. I wrote about it for my latest DotMoms post.
"All through the long winter, I dream of my garden. On the first day of spring, I dig my fingers deep into the soft earth. I can feel its energy, and my spirits soar."

What a great post Kelly. Not that I wish any of my kids away, of course, but I’ve often wished that I had planned my family with a little more self-awareness and a lot more maturity.
I lost your link for awhile when my blogroll got deleted, glad to have found you again!
