Well I just had my first, a daughter on Christmas Eve 2004. I can tell you, that I hated being pregnant--and I had the world's easiest pregnancy. Labor was a cake walk as well, and she is the greatest miracle I have witnessed. But I am still up in the air as to whether we will have any more kids. It's funny, but before she came, I thought oh for sure I will keep working and all that, but once she was born, I didn't feel the same way. I took a semester off of teaching and now am going to go back only parttime.
I love being a mom, but it is a huge sacrifice and I commend those who know they don't want kids and don't have them--there are too many people in this country that seem to have kids because it is what is expected of them. But these same people aren't ready for everything that a child entails and that is why, IMO, that we have so many kids with so many problems.
