I guess now that Liberty is here I need to find a new hangout. Everytime I as much as scroll through posts in the expecting forum I get all weepy. I'm having a really hard time accepting that I'll never experience pregnancy or give birth again. When I look at my family as it is now of course, I am thrilled, but on the other hand I am sad b/c there will be no more babies after Liberty is grown. I will have all the babies I will one day midwife into this world but none will be my own, yk? I am really trying not to whine about this but it is affecting me so much that I can't even get L's birth story down...and dh just thinks I've lost my mind.

Thanks for listening.

You may feel better after the hormones have settled down.

But, your new daughter is beautiful!!

I so understand. I told DH that we weren't trying, of course, but to not mention "being done" to me for several months, until I brought it up again. I knew we were done, but it was very very very hard in those first months to think about it. After a few months, I brought it up again, and he scheduled his vasectomy. I needed that space to process and work through, and let the hormones settle down.
