I wish I had some of that mini wisdom – I fear I’m unlikely to ever get it, 38 or 78!

Ah this is one of ‘those things’ where there’s no right and wrong, just what’s best for you as a family, what you think works. I was chatting to a friend this weekend and found myself saying that although I’m not going to have any more babies now I actually think 38 is a brilliant time to have a baby as I finally feel really settled and life seems so clear, sort of like a mini-wisdom that comes with age maybe! x

Your sister sounds very wise – I’m going to remember this piece of advice when I next question myself!

We have a five year old son and a 16 month old daughter. I was 28 when our son arrived and our daughter came on my 32nd birthday. We planned the gap so we could enjoy our son before he started at school. My sister told me that you get the right baby at the right time. Only you know what’s best for your family!

Thanks! Great timing with the move, yes. It only takes one child to make you a mother though – a “proper” one too!

Thank you for the gorgeous comment. And, as loads of the commenters have said, there are many pluses to being an only child – so I hope that helps you feel better about your own beautiful family. xx

You’re so right – we can never win as parents! Going to remember that next time I get an attack of the guilts. x

I have the mother guilt that I can’t spend enough time with my children one on one. We can’t win really. xx

I have a lone ranger too and your fears mirror my own. Last week he asked me when he could have a brother or sister and my heart broke. I turn 40 in a few weeks time so the window is closing for me soon but you are still so young lovely, and have so much time to grow your family, at your own pace. Enjoy Frog and enjoy being a 3.

You’re right, as ever Aly. I am nodding my head in agreement right now! x
