    Much, much more to say

    I couldn't disagree more with the two previous posts that suggest "there is nothing more to say on this topic." For people who have already made their lifelong decision to have or not to have kids, perhaps the topic is officially resolved and played out. But for someone like me, who is married and nearing 30 and trying to find if the desire to have kids is inside me (I don't seem to have it yet), this topic is extremely valuable, as are everyone's comments and experiences. I just finished reading the Maybe Baby collection (outstanding), and I still seem to have plenty of room to devour more on the subject. So by all means, keep discussing! It is of great interest and help to many of us, I suspect.
