Having a baby

A dear friend is due to have her first baby soon. Life's gonna change upside down and inside out. Life will no longer revolve around just the husband or work or the extended family. Life's gonna be harder, sweeter, scarier, funnier, and infinitely more tiring. But it'll be all worth it. 

And would I consider having another little baby of my own? Not if I can help it. Not in a million years. I'm all stretched out literally (LOOK AT MY STRETCH MARKS EEKS!) and figuratively, and sleep deprivation, lack of time to do so many things x 4 has been exhausting. I love my kids. But I think I can't handle any more, for the sake of my (and their) sanity. School fees, medical bills, bus fares, food and clothing...They all add up, and it is not easy on a single income. Why not I go work? Well not yet. Fattening the savings can wait, but my kids' childhood can't. I am already wishing I could turn back time to enjoy my girls' babyhood and toddlerhood once again. I miss their cuteness, baby chuckles and antics. *wistful sigh*
