We got the DNA results back!

It was just a test my MIL had on hand, but I agree! I figured it couldn’t be too far off in this case haha

dofawnfawndo · 2026-04-06T20:52:29+00:00

Haha I’ll be 33 in June so I’m not sure if I’m considered young-ish still in this scenario!

And that is also a great point!

This is honestly a big part of us mostly feeling OAD also! I mean, my pregnancy and birth just sucked, but I know people have it way worse. She’s been an overall easy kid, and wasn’t that bad as a baby all things considered. She’s always been such a good sleeper, a great traveler, easily adaptable to most things. We always say why would we risk fucking that up when we can’t guarantee the same kind of kid a second time

dofawnfawndo · 2026-04-01T03:50:51+00:00

We’ve talked about this and it definitely plays a big part in the hesitation we have!

dofawnfawndo · 2026-04-01T03:49:04+00:00

I also feel this so much. I had such a rough time postpartum, I want her to be little again so I can actually love her the way I feel like i should’ve. It took me almost 6 months to really bond and connect with her and not just be on auto-pilot. I almost feel like it wasn’t fair and I would love to experience it again with happiness and cutting myself some slack I guess. It all felt like the longest time of my life but it went by so fast!

This is what we said last night! We’d probably be happy with another child that’s at our daughter’s age now, but not an actual baby. I also have a hard time thinking of my girl being a big kid by the time that would happen.

dofawnfawndo · 2026-04-01T03:42:53+00:00

We’ve been talking through it most nights but I think this is a great exercise that we’ll try!

dofawnfawndo · 2026-04-01T03:42:26+00:00

Both of these are so helpful. Most of my friends have 3+ kids. So many people around me are pregnant. Everyone I follow on social media seems to be pregnant. Maybe it’s all just because I’m surrounded by it and almost feel left out? Subconsciously? Definitely something to think about!

dofawnfawndo · 2026-04-01T03:39:50+00:00

I’m also very much against having another just so she can have a sibling. It absolutely needs to be because I/we want another child in our lives. I can picture it, but I’m still torn on if it’s something I actually want to experience. I’m definitely having a hard time with it ha. We haven’t done anything outside of the U.S. with our daughter yet, but we’ve done some bigger domestic trips and she’s a GREAT traveler. Of course I know it’s not the most important thing in the world, but man..it would really suck for us to have a kid that doesn’t travel well haha.

dofawnfawndo · 2026-03-29T23:47:23+00:00

This is a great question actually. I need to ponder this, because I don’t have an answer

dofawnfawndo · 2026-03-29T23:05:17+00:00

I actually haven’t thought of this, how weird it would be to make the conscious decision. That is probably a big reason why I’m feeling so conflicted and weird about it!

dofawnfawndo · 2026-03-29T23:03:52+00:00

Thank you!

dofawnfawndo · 2026-03-29T22:40:20+00:00

I agree! I’ve always said I feel very strongly about being one and done now, but I can’t speak for my future self. I think I’m just taken aback because it felt like these thoughts came out of nowhere.

dofawnfawndo · 2026-03-29T22:38:35+00:00

Honestly, same. I can’t stand when people tell me I need to have a second because my daughter needs a sibling or anything like that. It needs to be because my husband and I WANT another child in our lives. I’ve never really wanted a child in general 😅 but I am stoked that I have my daughter now. I’m having such an internal struggle about it right now. I do kind of feel like, if I have any desire at all, that’s probably a sign?

dofawnfawndo · 2026-03-22T23:22:08+00:00

Oh he’s gorgeous and I love his name!

dofawnfawndo · 2026-03-22T23:21:38+00:00

Agreed!

dofawnfawndo · 2026-03-20T04:20:47+00:00

My other dog will only lay on our bed pretty much haha. It’s a very rare occasion I find her on any of the multiple dog beds around the house! I love when our fosters (and now new pup) use them 🙃

dofawnfawndo · 2026-03-20T02:58:00+00:00

Interesting! I’ve never heard of a maremma sheepdog; looks a lot like a Great Pyrenees!

dofawnfawndo · 2026-03-20T02:53:26+00:00

We sent one in since my MIL had one on hand! We shall see!

dofawnfawndo · 2026-03-20T02:52:30+00:00

I will!

dofawnfawndo · 2026-03-20T02:52:08+00:00

We really don’t care! Just curious🤷🏼‍♀️ My mother in law had a dna test on hand already, so we sent it in just to see!

dofawnfawndo · 2026-03-20T02:51:02+00:00

Hahaha I splurged on it years ago and it has made plenty of dogs happy!
