Oh yes, I certainly do. I'm not sure he registers it though.
Lil,
I answered this a long while back from Gel. We want to have another because we love each other, we love our family and we love children. We are in our late 30's and time if of the essence if we want to do it at all. DDalmost2 is H's only biological child. Having children of his own is a lifelong dream of his. I have three biological children and well understand that dream. I have enjoyed each and every baby more than the last. Increased maternal age has done nothing but increase my enjoyment of the crumb crushers. Every conceivable part of my parntership with H works very well, nearly perfectly, save for the sexual/romantic piece. I will not end this M over that.
However, I will never stop trying to get what I want out of the M either so this is a double edged sword for H - I won't go through another divorce but I won't "settle" either. So Lil, we want a baby because we want to love a baby, raise a baby, enjoy a baby and the child, young adult and adult that he/she will become. I have every reason to believe that we will do it together for the rest of our lives. It is pretty much that simple.
H and I have some discussing to do though. This fertility crap will be hard on me and I need him to understand and help.
