Ha! I marvel at people with two!

I am, quite frankly, terrified of having another child like DS before he is, at the very least, in kindergarten. He is a true labour of love and my greatest joy, but I fear my health and sanity would be seriously compromised if our second child exhibited the same intellectual horsepower and intensity that DS possesses.

That being said, if I could be assured of my sanity, I would love to have another child.

What is to give light must endure burning.
