the reluctant mom.
November 12, 2006
i keep changing my mind about wanting a baby. i am 33, in the throes of turning 34, and i still can't make up my mind. a part of me wants to know how it feels like to carry a baby in my womb for 9 whole months, to smell a baby's milky breath, to see its first smile, its first yawn, to hear its first laughter, its first word.
but a bigger part of me wants to maintain the status quo. i am, after all, a housewife with only the hub to be responsible for (and already, i have a big baby in my care, LOL). my time is my own. as long as i keep him fed and clothed and the house sufficiently clean, i have more than enough time to take care of me.
i love taking care of me.
tell me, at 33, am i still allowed to be selfish and just a little bit scared?
