I remarried with 3 wonderful children and moved to a different state. My husband had no children. Since we are new to the area - people don't know our story and assume that my husband is the biological father - he is that good with the kids and they love him too. We have been talking about the possibility of having a baby since before the wedding. Now 3 years later we have undergone preliminary tests to check fertility and are days away from scheduling my tubal reversal. We decided not to tell the children in case it doesn't happen - I don't want to cause them more anxiety/worry. However, last night we "talked" about wanting a baby and the possibility of surgery. My middle child, only daughter, doesn't want a baby brother or sister. Her comment was she wanted things just the way they are. I can understand her worry - being a fifth wheel or left out. Anyone out there gone through this? What advice can you give?

First, how truly wonderful it is that your children & hubby are doing well together. That in itself is a such a blessing!
The only advice I can offer to you is go with your gut (instinct) on this. If you & hubby to have decided you want to have a child...go for it! I myself am in a blended family. I'm the step-parent to 3 (now grown) children. I understand your feelings for your babies. My hubby struggled with it also! All I can say is....we did the best we could to make the children feel loved & secure! We did sit them down at first and tell them we all loved them, always will and will be there no matter what. And to please give this new addition a chance. Honestly, I am not going to lie. It was touch and go at first. But...they came around. They love their baby sis...who's now 11! Just make them feel as secure as possible and involve them with everything. Your pregnancy etc. She will most likely come around. Good Luck on your tubal reversal! Best Wishes!
