[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 44780, member: 3579"] Okay, I'll be the token male response... [queues up deep voice, puffs out chest, stuff gut into tight pants, and takes a deep breath...] ARE YOU NUTS? Just kidding. I would humbly and respectfully suggest, though, that you think about what's driving your "baby fever". My hope is that it is a normal desire for another child. But my little voice whispers to be careful about looking for something new and good in a baby. Your sig says you're single, and have two younger difficult child's at home. Having been one of two difficult child children in a family with a single mom, I [b]KNOW[/b] it can't be easy for you - it sure wasn't for my dear mother. At 39, even when it was certain that her marriage was toast, and her two difficult child sons were destined to make nasty waves in the world, she decided to have another child with her estranged husband (my dad). Why? She couldn't answer the question, and I didn't even know until a year before she died that she'd tried again. I got the feeling that she was looking for something to tie her life back together, something that would fill in the holes left by my dad and her two out-of-control sons. Ultimately, it didn't happen (details not necessary). It was just me, my mom, and my bro from then on. I don't mean to be doom and gloom, but from the little I've read in your profile and some of your posts, it sure seems like you have your hands full. Are you certain of the real source of this desire? I can state from personal experience - both with myself and my kids - that your body and your brain can lie to you, ususally when you least expect it. Just be careful.
