We are often asked ‘Do you want anymore?’ or ‘When’s the next one?’.
Since Libbys arrival we have always been quite open about the fact that for us Libby was perfect and we had no intention of having anymore.
For me the choice to try again was almost like saying our world wasn’t complete, it would open up a whole world of heartache and memories that although will of course always be with us and play a huge part of who we are today the past is where we wish to keep it. How would we cope with another loss around Libby? We couldn’t jet off on holiday and drop our responsibilities in the way we had before.
I toyed with my emotions and the guilt of her being an only child, not having siblings like both Andrew & I but as a sociable couple with plenty of little ones playing big parts in our life we knew Libby would be just fine. She would get our full attention, love and would hopefully never go without.
And then it happens, drunken, unprotected sex over the festive period.
A few weeks later, I returned to work from maternity leave and Libby started nursery. We were just getting settled when it happened..... a late period and positive pregnancy test!
We are having another baby. 3 will soon become 4 and Libby will soon become a big sister. And with no doubt a fantastic one at that.
