Would You Like Another?

I was just reading some message board posts from other moms of only children about all the odd (and often intrusive) comments they get about having more children. I was reminded of my last physical, where my doctor kept pestering me have more children.

She has three of her own (could be four since I haven't seen her in over a year), and gave me every excuse reason why people should have more than one child - kids need siblings, parents need more help as they get older, etc. When I told her about the horrible PPD I went through and that I was still on medication at the time, she flat-out exclaimed, "So we'll just increase your dosage!" I knew she was (only half) joking, but she said it with such enthusiasm, as if she had just solved my biggest problem and removed the roadblock preventing me from making my way to baby number two.

The question is still up in the air, although I am 85% convinced I want to stick with one child. As great as it is to watch my son interact with other children, I just think more won't be good for my sanity. After all, I still question the one I currently have!
