I haven't been around this way in a while and I see that you have been keeping your mind very busy... It seems to me that you are torn between giving all of yourself and keeping some of yourself. I have been through the same thing. I had my second by accident and I always tell people that if you put too much thought into it then adding to your family might not ever happen--because we think and complicate things too much. If you feel that it is what is best for you, your family and especially your daughter--then go for it. You can only have children for a short time then you have your whole lifetime to enjoy them. Put Motherhood first if that is what you really want and your career will come quicker than you think. How is your daughter doing in preschool now?--You know what? If your daughter is in school then it is perfect timing to have another. Then you won't be like me--two in diapers at the same time! AH! Finally my 2 year old (almost 3) is potty trained and now I'm working on my 20 mo old. Well, I hope you can come to a decision. Whatever it is you must be 100% happy with it. No regrets. I made the choice right after college to be a SAHM full-time and I feel like I made the best choice for me. I know that in a few more years both of my girls will be in school and then (like my husband says) I can focus on my career and what I want to do with my life to make me happy. Just right now--being with my girls and taking care of my family makes me happy. Take care! Kalisha Hey!

I wish you luck. I want to say don't let it rule your life, but I know from experience that it does. I’ve been down that road, and a long, hard, lonely one it was. I wish you luck.
