Not Feelin' It

We spent part of this weekend hanging out with a friend and her 6-month-old little boy, one of the coolest babies I've ever met. Mild-mannered, good-humored, adorable. But I came out of there this afternoon feeling: you know, I don't really want a kid. Seems like so much constant work and there's always something to take care of or worry about or deal with. I don't expect that this feeling will last forever, and I suspect it's symptomatic of a general sense of overwhelm at our return to the U.S. on Friday. But nonetheless, it took me by surprise. Right at the moment, it all--getting pregnant, having kids--seems like more trouble than it's worth. Though I'll tell ya: after the disappointment of the last 9+ months, I can't say that today's desire to keep the whole process at arm's length is unwelcome. Anyone else ever feel this way?
