I hear this question all of the time. I personally think that it is perhaps a little morbid curiosity on the part of the person asking the question. Perhaps you are asking the same question, too. Well, there are pros and cons to both answers. I think I will explore those before I answer.
Cons:
Attention gets divided again.
Money gets tighter.
I might gain more weight.
My breasts will sag even more.
I will have to watch even more kids' programs.
I will be that much older when the kids move out.
I will be older when I have the child.
Two-hour feedings.
Diapers.
Etc., Etc.
Pros:
I love kids.
The answer is yes. We do plan on having more children. I am very aware of the cons. I am currently wallowing in some of those cons. I think that some people are blessed with the patience and extraordinary ability to successfully raise multiple children. It is what I was born to do. I'm a breeder. Everyone has that one thing they are good at, and this one is mine. Do I worry about it? Sure. I wouldn't be a good parent if I didn't. Perhaps I will also be lucky enough to have a child who wants to deal with me in my old age. I would be giving myself a better chance of that at least. ☺
