Was this your last child?
| Wed, 07-27-2011 - 3:25pm |
Ok... I swore this child (#3) was going to be our last. Towards the end of this pregnancy I had HAD it and was sooo done.
...but now that he's here, and honestly the transition from 2-3 kids has been so darn easy so far, I am already starting to think "hmmm... maybe one more..."
But DH is DONE. He is supposedly getting the big V soon. I know deep down we should stop--DH and I are both resuming school in January, finances could be better... and we have both said we're ready for the next phase of our lives. But a part of me is sad we will never have anymore children, I will never be pregnant again. It feels liberating and yet very sad to be closing up shop. Anyone else? Do you feel done?

This is number 3, i could be done but dh wants one more.
I would love to have another child IF ONLY we had the money..but we don't. If we came into money and i could stay home for a few yrs and could afford a bigger home, i would do it again. Otherwise, this is it for us.
We are done. I had a tubal with the CS and, honestly, with the issues that the little man is having (even though they are being fixed miraculously quickly) I just don't think I could do this again. Even though originally I had wanted 4 or 5, I am content with three now.
Jay is definitely our last.
I started going through my maternity clothes to give away, and it made me sad giving it away. It felt like the end of this chapter in my life. Sniff sniff. I know that I would feel the same way if I had 8 kids and decided to stop there...
This is probably our last child.
