So what if I’m already in my 30s??! Families and friends were telling me that we should have another one. You’re already 31. So what? By the time your children get out of college you’ll be old. So what? Besides the decision about when to have another child needs to take place. Not only that… There are so many things that we have to consider.

Medically
I still feel the need to recover from my first pregnancy. It wasn’t easy when you’re working.

Financially
A growing family has to have sufficient funds to be able to provide each one’s needs. At the moment, we are not ready for this.

Emotionally
This is my primary concern. I know how it is. I was the only child – for almost 10 years. My mom gave birth to my brother when I was already 9 years and 5 months to be exact. I was excited of course. But changes somehow affected me. I was not alone anymore. The family as a whole was delighted as a result of this new addition. I felt a little jealous every time my dad would ask for my brother first, who was miles away at that time.

We are talking about a 9 year old girl here. What about an 18 month old little girl? How would she react if she sees her mother carrying , feeding and comforting another child?

We still stand firm with our decision – we’re not having another baby till everyone is ready.

But if it’s God’s will, we will accept and take the challenge of having another one – whole heartedly.
