I really enjoyed reading it too... I think we really will start seeing a bigger tendency toward 1-child families given the current economy, and the trend toward having children later in life. *^^*

Here's hoping our kid thinks so too!! *grins*

Awww, thanks!! We're really hoping to do a good job with our kiddo and give them both a super fun childhood AND a well-prepared start to life. :)

We had our second at age 40. We like having two. They don't outnumber us; we can still do one-on-one. They're different from each other so liven up the mix. They can be responsible and irresponsible for each other. They can laugh together at how out-of-touch their parents are.

You two already have the most useful thing to pass along, your centeredness and self-knowledge. That life is a joy of discovery.
Best of joys.

Ah, your kids sound awesome! :) Bet your family is a lot of fun. ♥ And you're right, one of the best ways I've found to view life is as a series of opportunities to experience new things -- that perspective does bring a lot of optimism and joy to even the less-fun parts. *grins*

Either would be amazing! I would love for him to have a brother, though.

*grins* You and Greta do seem to be great boy-moms! When I was working at the preschool I could always tell which moms had only boys, and which dads had only girls -- moms of boys tended to be more willing to get active and dirty with their kids. I totally see you and Greta as being great at that. You'd be super cute with a little girl, too, though! (Isn't the mystery fun?) ♥
