Before you have children, you use birth control because you THINK you are not "READY" for the RESPONSIBILTY of raising children. Once you have your first child, the decision to have another child becomes a sheer act of will. You must BELIEVE that you are "READY."
The irony of ironies is that already having a child or children is the best birth control. Even if you are "READY" to have a child and even if you're down for some...um..shall we say "practice" you have to fight with all the child related obstacles - lack of privacy, time, sleep deprivation, to-do list overload, etc. So just keep in mind, it takes knowing what you're REALLY in for to know whether or not you're REALLY "READY." That my friend is why, crazy as it sounds, Parenthood is the BEST Birth Control EVER!
Enter the real life manic brain of motherhood as experienced by the mom of a 4 year old daughter and a 2 year old son. From sleep deprivation to poop-splosions, buckle up and enjoy the ride. And if you get something icky on you, just clean it up later. You may laugh, you may cry, but hopefully you'll feel a little more "normal" and a little less "alone" on this crazy rollercoaster that is MOTHERHOOD.
