To sibling or not to sibling ... that is the question!

So, now that Hayden is 3 years old and has started school and is basically off of all "medical interventions", do we try for another? I have been given mixed information about the odds of having another micro-preemie with my kidney disease and after multiple miscarriages, do I want to start this all over again? Ugh! I am so confused!

I want another child. My husband says he wants another child. We have been without "birth control" measures for 18 months and nothing. Is the start of the infertility rollercoaster again? Who knows. All I know is, I want some better odds about the babies well-being before we decide what to do next.

Then comes the question to mind ... is this what's best for Hayden right now? He doesn't handle change so well because of his SPD. We were lucky he loved school, but a sibling ... that may pose too much stress right now. I just can't imagine him being an only child - think of all those holidays by himself and his kids wouldn't have aunt's or uncle's from him ... how sad!

Well, I think next week I will break down and call my OB/GYN and just see what's happening with my body ... wish me luck!
