'I wanted it to be just us for as long as possible.'

. As much as I knew that one could lead a perfectly fulfilling life without kids, I knew such a life would never be fulfilling for me. So, I was absolutely thrilled, albeit, a little unprepared, when I had my son almost six years ago.. But I quickly realized that I wanted to relish the experience. I wanted to soak up those magical moments of Gabriel’s infancy and early childhood that would be gone before I knew it. Like his first belly-laugh on the day he turned three months.
The thing about having kids, though, is that they are a living, breathing, ever-changing reminder of how quickly time passes. I felt like every time I turned around, there was something new to marvel at. There were days when I truly wished I could just hit the pause button. Like the day he turned one. Twelve months couldn’t really have come and gone so quickly, could it? Yet, there was my baby walking and babbling contentedly to his birthday party guests.
Of course, it seemed that I had barely given birth to Gabriel before the incessant inquiries of “When are you going to have another?” started rolling in. Mostly from well-meaning friends or family members. But there were also the not-so-subtle comments from acquaintances or complete strangers like “Don’t wait too long—you don’t want them to be too far apart in age” or “Once you’re done with diapers, you won’t want to start over.
, but I suppose since I was still in my twenties, I never gave it much thought. It seemed like the older Gabriel got, or maybe it was the older thatBy the time Gabriel’s third and fourth birthdays came and went, we had been long done with diapers. And I watched my baby grow into an independent, kind and curious boy. Before I knew it, he was waving goodbye to me as I dropped him off for his first day of junior kindergarten. I was proud of him. And I was so proud of our family.
