That's wonderful, Laurie! How time flies. I remember you first being pregnant
with Jessica and here you are a mom of two!

I know, it's really amazing. I definitely don't feel like I'm done, so I can
imagine with the next baby that it will really make me feel sad to see the
baby days fly by! (The next will most likely be the last!)

I think it would be so hard to KNOW I was done. It would make everything so
melancholy, you know? Thinking about doing everything for the last time . . .
I hope I am not done, although my husband hopes we are! I was planning for
William to be the last, but he has been (and is) so delightful that it makes me
want another. I'm not in a hurry, though, because to me he is still such a
baby and I am enjoying him so much. I've already BTDT with having three
pre-schoolers in the house and don't want to go that way again! I want to wait
until he is four or even five.

I haven't found it so. I was holding a baby at church one time, and the mother
asked me if it made me want another, and I was able to say no, it made me wish
I was around babies more often, but absolutely I didn't want another of my own.
It just made me wish someone with a newborn would move in next door. :-)

It's really a nice feeling in its own way.
