I'm actually not much of a baby person. I certainly love my kids and I would still like more, but those first few years are trying. I don't really get wistful and want them to be babies again. Each step towards independence feels like a relief! I look forward to them being adults. Sometimes. Sometimes my depression makes me wonder if my kids won't just all grow up to hate and despise me. *sigh*
