For the most part lately this is
how I felt with regards to all my friends and family falling pregnant and
having babies.
Since having my hysterectomy was
not my ideal choice I have gone through periods of sadness and frustration at
the thought of never being able to have a baby again but have however reached
the point where I have not only made peace with the situation and appreciate
what it has done for my health but I am also happy with my family just as it is
and really cannot fathom or fancy the idea of going down the road of sleepless
nights and poopy diapers again.
However being a woman can be
rally confusing sometimes because even though in my mind I’m like yay I’m all
good I see a baby or hold one and my ovaries which I still have start screaming
at me to produce a baby which fortunately I am unable to create and I find
myself looking at the boys baby pictures and longing for that sweet baby smell,
the anticipation and excitement of the birth and choosing of names, my mind
says hell no and my clearly baby starved biological clock ticking ovaries say
hell yes, eep!
Thankfully that feeling does
subside but I for one am grateful that I cannot have any more because dam if my
broody woman parts had anything to say about I would probably be sitting in my
gyneas office right now going oh my stars at the screen.
No one can say there is no such
thing as an internal baby clock because hells bells I have felt the pull and I am only 28…. Anyone else feel this way
am I the only one?
I understand how you feel, Chastin! Situation is slightly different as I am on a contraceptive and already have two kids but lately with all the pregnancies around me I'm starting to feel so broody even though my head and hubs is telling me that it's just not practical to have another one! But darn it, those little tiny toes and the smell of baby just gets me everytime!
