Why do you want another baby?

..Jessica.. · #1 September 4th, 2008, 11:47 AM

I've been thinking a lot about this question to be honest. I know I'll never replace Quinn, and I never want to, but, I've been wondering why I want to have a baby.

I want a baby because I want to feel fulfilled. I have a space in my heart that feels empty, something is missing. And I know it's because I don't have that child I was once pregnant with. I know it's because when I got pregnant, I was given this certain piece specially for THAT baby, to love, comfort, cherish, and adore. I know deep down I'll be a good mother, I just want it to happen soon.

Why do you want a(nother) baby?

I want another baby so our family will be complete. We just want one more and praying for a boy!

I've always wanted to be a mom. I want to hear "mommy." I want to kiss booboos. I want to teach my child right form wrong. The watch them learn to read. I want to hear the laughter and the giggles. I want it all.

Teehee, we joke that we need another baby so that when our ds becomes a teenager and doesn't want anything to do with mom and dad anymore, we'll still have someone who does want us. That's not really it though of course. I love my son so stinking much, I want to love another child that much, if I could I'd adopt so that I could give another child that love too. I'd have a ton of kiddos if I could! The love a parent has for their child (in most cases of course) is just so amazing! I just can't describe it accurately, but that's why, I just want to continue to give that love and experience that whole thing.

I'm actually not one of those that wanted kids since I was a kid. Since I moved to the States I'm always feeling lonely, I don�t have family here, I want to be able to start a family , teach them where they come from, their heritage, culture, and we need a playmate for the dog (just kidding).

I want another baby for very differnt reasons..

I acually am not to crazy about babies BUT I LOVE pple and babies eventually mature into pple who can experince. Think, Love, Explore, Find joy in who they are and go out into the world and enjoy life while shareing that experince with us( parnets) Thats what its all about to me

So that someday I'll have someone to do the dishes for me.

Okay, obviously I'm kidding. I want a baby because I KNOW in my heart I will be a wonderful mommy. I love all children so much. I love teaching them new things, watching them explore their world. I want to be able to share the world with my own child. And I already have so much love to give him/her.

I love seeing who they become. I love teaching them things and experiencing things for the first time again with them, if you know what I mean. I love mixing our genetics and seeing who they produce. I have a fair skinned, blonde haired little boy with double jointed fingers (all me), and hazel eyes and a beautiful smile (all DH). I love my "cuddle monster" who tucks himself under my arm so he can be comfortable when I read a book to him. I love being called into the room because he can't go to sleep without a kiss from his mommy. I want all of that times (at least) 2.

I've want another baby because I just don't feel "done" yet....and never have...even when my triplets were babies. We've always planned on having four kids so I guess I just don't feel our family is complete yet..plus a baby girl would be a bonus after three boys

. God willing...please Lord...I'll be pregnant by the end of this month. Hey...you have to put it our there and speak it!

<span style="font-family:Arial Narrow">WELL...
I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED A BIG FAMILY. I LIKE THE IDEA OF HAVING MY KIDS (NOT A SET NUMBER) SITTING AT BREAKFAST WAITING TO EAT. WATCHING THEM GROW UP TOGETHER AND TEACH EACH OTHER NEW THINGS. I LOVE THE FACT THAT I WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE MY DAUGHTERS CHILDREN WITH LOTS OF COUSINS AND FAMILY MEMBERS, AUNTS, UNCLES...THAT WE CAN KEEP OUR BLOODLINE SPREADING THROUGH THE YEARS. THE FACT THAT MY DAUGHTER IS 5 NOW AND I CAN POSSIBLY TEACH HER ABOUT RAISING A FAMILY. AND OF COURSE THE FACT THAT I SEE HOW MUCH I LOVE MY DAUGHTER AND THAT I WANT TO HAVE ANOTHER LIL ONE THAT I CAN LOVE AS MUCH. </span>

When we first started trying again (7 months ago) I was just planning out the "right" amount of space between them. We both have siblings and it has been a given that we'd have more than one, we decided 2 -2 1/2 years would be a good amount of time between them. I also was looking forward to pregnancy again. My first pregnancy was great and I enjoyed it so much. Now things have definitely changed. I now desperately want a baby. I want the snuggles, I want to breastfeed again, I want to see all those firsts again. It has been amazing watching Cori become a person with preferences and so much personality....I want to see who my next baby will become. Of course, now I'm not looking forward to pregnancy so much....I am just too paranoid to enjoy it.

I didn't really want kids until a couple of years ago. I guess it's true what they say about that biological clock kicking in. I picture myself teaching our child about life and hopefully passing on a love of learning. I can't wait to fly a kite or go to the zoo with my child.

Enchanted Mumma · #13 September 4th, 2008, 07:05 PM

Because I have on gorgeous daughter and I know the joy (and hardwork!) that she brings to our lives and I would love another one running around plus I don't want her to be an only child...I have 1 brother and 1 sister and I couldn't think of growing up without them there.
I want our family to feel complete. I want to have a another baby and be able to ENJOY it (as I suffered from PPD the 1st time).
I want to fit all 4 of us in our bed and cuddle on weekend mornings.
I want my daughter to have someone to play with and grow up with and have in her life after Mummy & Daddy have gone.

So many reasons....

Our family does not feel complete yet. if I could I would have tons of kids ,but of course we aer not rice so that is out of the question. I love watching my kids grow up to be a wonderful and caring person. I love teaching them right from wrong. I love reading to them and singing them songs at bedtime. I just love to spoil my kids

Just one more God please !!!

IAMommy · #16 September 6th, 2008, 08:05 AM

This is a deep question. I want to have a baby becasue I have a lot of love to offer a child, and I really want to have a family. Isaac and Avery will always be a part of our lives, and we do not want to replace them, but give them siblings. I know that I will be a good mom. I can't wait for the opportunity to love, cherish, hold, and raise a child. I can't wait to experience all the "mom" things like seeing my baby take thier fist steps, or teaching them to tie their shoes. Hearing about a first crush, and helping them with their wedding someday. I really want to be a rock for my children, and I can't wait for the opportunity.

MusicalJulia · #17 September 9th, 2008, 08:27 PM

... because I have always dreamed of being a momma. There's nothing in the world I want more! I know I will make a wonderful one, and I know Matthew will be a wonderful father. I want to see a mix of us. I want something created from OUR love (I know- is that cheesy?). I can't wait
