“Broody” Jana Rawlinson to Hold Off on Baby #2
Although she would "just love to be pregnant again," hurdler Jana Rawlinson has vowed to hold off on more children until her competitive career in track and field has ended. The 25-year-old mother to Cornelis Levi, 19-months, admits that while she’s "very, very broody" at the moment she and husband Chris Rawlinson "have priorities" that involve Jana running well at the 2012 Olympic games in London and then getting pregnant "straight away." By doing so, Jana said she’ll finally be able to have the "best job in the world" — that of a full-time mom.
It is a long time [to wait]. The hard thing is that I have learned what it is to be a mother. I realize I probably love it more than my athletics. I love being a mum and the next time I have a child, I want to give him or her my full attention.
Cornelius is the first child for the couple, who married in 2006.

Have to admit I’ve never been a huge fan of her but she certainly seems more ’softer’ and more relaxed since motherhood.
I remember reading that she and Chris wanted to have a baby after the Beijing Olympics but she’s obviously not competing due to injury. Must be hard to have to put it off for four more years.
Oh, by the way, their sons name is Cornelis (after a relation) 0 great grandfather perhaps?) rather than Cornelius.
