Catelynn is the last person in the world (besides Farrah) who should be contemplating having another child. She's not doing right by the one she already has. I don't "blame" her for that because I know she's not well, but any more should be out of the question, at least for now. Catelynn seems to have a problem I usually associate with much younger people: she has a naive "concept" of something that doesn't necessarily match up to the reality of whatever that thing is. She thinks it will magically change her life for the better, if she could just get that thing. The fairy-tale style wedding was an example. She seemed to think the perfect dress and perfect venue and having Carly there and all would be "the thing" that would make her life great. In the end it changed nothing but their bank balance; her life was exactly the same the day after the wedding as it had been the day before. Having Nova was another example. That may be part of her depression, her constant disappointment that "the big thing" she feels she needs really only complicates her life, and doesn't make it magically perfect. She's way too old to be thinking that way.
