After reading about Gwynne's sweet little peanut and then watching reruns of Friends when Rachel has the baby while trying to fall asleep last night, I couldn't help but think about having just one more!
There are so many reasons to be done and 99.9% of the time I feel okay about being done, but I totally admit I was convincing myself last night to have another.
Wait until they itty bitty newborn pics come!! It'll be mass fever!
I've had the fever for awhile, lol, probably since Logan started actually sleeping more than 3 hours in a row (at 9 months) but we're waiting till we get our living situation figured out before we try (house/apartment/etc) since DH wants to be in house 1st.
But OH the little bitty baby noises and finger and toes and teeny tiny outfits!!!

I'm gonna be in huge envy when I see her in her little tiny pink outfits. I've really started to convince myself we need a third and have my DH almost convinced
I love babies, but nope, I'm done with it! lol...I think it's because Elaina's been such high maintenance!...not only now but especially when she was a baby....and the whole teething stuff has been a nightmare as well. I think it's because all 3 of my boys were pretty easy, good eaters, sleeping through the night at 6 weeks old, never knew when they were teething..etc...and E's been a whole different story LOL....though if we only had 3 right now, even with E I would probably have another..but 4 is it! Kris, I think you should totally have another one. If I can do it you can and T would love a brother or sister close to her age
there are moments when i miss the itty bitty baby stage .. but i'm sooooo loving where Kaylee and lil B are at too. I'll just enjoy my friends lil babies. I'm grateful for the 2 amazing kiddo's i have here with me .. and the sleep i'm starting to get
I really go back and forth in my heart (my head leans to no more). Part of me loves having just 1 girl to do special things with. I'm not super close with my sisters, but I wonder if I had 2 girls if they would be. I love when I hear about sisters being close. Then I wonder if I had a boy if he'd feel left out of the boy stuff since he'd so much younger than my other boys. And then I see how sweet Teresa can be and I think she'd be a great big sister.
But the stuff in my head sways me to no-car situation changes, house situation changes, etc. I *know* we could make it all work, but do I really really want to have to figure stuff out? Hubby leans to no too.
ACK! I'm not getting any younger and I feel like if we want a 4th, we need to get movin'! TTC took us 4-9 months for each of the other kiddos.
I go back and forth on this issue. Part of my heart would like to make room for another bambino, but part of my mind tells me that at this point in my life, it's just not a good idea (for a variety of reasons). That being said, there are those months where I hope that AF just stays away.......

I just can't imagine being done - ever - which is why I know I'm definitely not done yet. I just feel like no matter what situation I'm in, I can and will do anything to make having another possible if I really want one. DH says the next one will be the last, but I'm not so sure, and I know that I can easily sway him if I want a fourth (or fifth.. ).
The only reason I'm not already pregnant is because I want to be a lot healthier than I was when I was pregnant with Lucy. I mean, everything turned out fine, but my blood pressure was starting to creep up at the end and I know it was because of my weight. I feel like it would be selfish and not smart for me to get pregnant at this point because it would be too risky for me and the baby, so I'm busting my butt to get in prime baby making shape!
Besides, my little baby sister is having a baby this year, so all my tiny baby cravings (which, there aren't any anyway) will/would be soothed by that.

I dont think we are done, but we will see! About to buy a house in the next couple months so I think we will put baby on the backburner for a few months. Two of my six teammates just had babies as well as two other staff members. We are a super young staff though so avg five babies a year in our building. Talk about constant baby fever!
I'd love another girl for the same reason kris! I wasn't super close with my sister and I'd love for grace to have that relationship. I just recently have been going back and forth. I was dead set on yes, but there are other factors that tell me to hold off.
Amy...I'm so happy to read that part of you would want another little one!! you are such an awesome mommy and Betsy would be a wonderful big sister!!
Oh definitely getting the fever here!!! DH is on the fence because we're not in our place but I will not be waiting that long so he'll just have to come around We'll hopefully start TTC after i lose some more weight.
Seeing those itty bitty baby pics are def giving me the fever. We keep going back and forth on when we will start TTC. We thought May, but now thinking maybe July or Aug. I just can't make up my mind about it!
Yes and no. Who doesn't love the itty bitty babies!?! But we're just not ready to add another LO to our family yet. But the time will come eventually. In the meantime I have much more fun getting excited over your pregnancies and new babies
Actually no, not even a little bit of fever, although I love seeing new babies. I want to stick to our planned age separation of at least 3 years. And I'm not even sure at this point that there will be another one that I birth. I'm enjoying our family so much right now. And our life is a bit upside down right now with the cross-country move. Adding one more "thing" anytime soon wouldn't be the greatest emotional situation for me. And knowing that my 4th baby would be birthed in a different state and without my family around me is an emotional deterrent as well.
I did get DH to agree to look over applying to adopt here in CO. We wouldn't pursue adoption but we would get the home study and our info in the system. If a child needs our family then it was meant to be. Adoption is something I've been extremely interested in since we were dating but DH has always been against it. He always feared not loving an adopted child as much as his own. He's such a great guy that I know that's impossible but it was his fear.
