I've had less than 3 hrs sleep in the last 48 hrs and puke in my hair...that is reason enough to be happy your done!

Also I didn't have siblings for most of my childhood, and I loved it. I was worshipped by all lol. My fondest memories are of when my parents took me to big boy every Friday and let me eat warm brownie fudge sundaes

I am so sorry. That is a lot to take in and you have every right to mourn. Big hugs to you. I hope that you can find some peace with all of this. I am also a big believer in things happening for a reason, even though that is very hard to see at the moment. You will be in my thoughts.

I'm so sorry. That really sucks. I have a couple of IRL friends that are really into being one and done and I'll see them post random links on fb about it from time to time. I doubt right now is a good ti me for you to look at them though.

Thanks so much ladies. Reading your responses has cheered me up.

I'm sending hugs back to those of you who are in the same crappy boat.

I'm so very sorry for your loss.

We are one and done. we didn't have any fertility issues, but my husband is pretty set against having another. What comes into play for us is lifestyle, money and job uncertainty (on my husband's part).

What's been hard for me is that I was leaning more towards having a second than he was, so I had to come to terms with not having another. Logically speaking, I know it's the right decision for us, but some days are harder than others to accept that. He hasn't had a vasectomy yet, but I know that day will be hard on me.

I just try to remind myself of how very lucky we are to have Lauren. She is an amazing spirit, and I am in awe of her every single day. Yes, it is difficult every time she outgrows her clothes to put them away knowing I won't ever have another child to wear them again, but I also can't wait to see the person she becomes as she grows.

Big hugs to you. You're not alone.

I'm sorry for your loss. Please don't feel bad about mourning both the loss and the opportunity for more children. You're allowed to feel whatever you feel!
