Just curious now that we all have had our LOs if anyone has changed their mind on the number of LOs they want.
DH always wanted 2 close together, so he's happy as a clam. I always wanted 3 and might consider adding a 3rd in a few years. However, when I think about the financial aspects of a 3rd and the uncertainty of dh's career (medical), I get afraid and think 2 is enough. All things considered, we are probably done.
Anyone else?
Re: More kids?
This! As I was healing still I couldn't imagine having as many as we originally planned but I have already gotten over the pain. I am an only child and really want a big family. I would love to wait until DD is 3 or so as it might be easier to have a little helper with a new baby but I highly doubt DH will want to wait that long. We will probably start trying after she turns 12 or 18 months.
Towards the end of my pregnancy I was certain we were done trying on our own and I felt that if in a year or so, if our frozen embryo was transferred and didn't result in a pregnancy that I would be good with that as well. But now I'm not so sure. Practically, I'm 41 so trying on our own most likely won't result in a healthy pregnancy, but, even knowing that I can't give my husband the green light to go and get a vasectomy.
I felt the same way after I had my third and then a few more months passed and I decided I was fine having three kids (and then found out I was pregnant with our fourth). I'm waiting to see if that feeling comes back again this time and if it does then we'll do the frozen embryo transfer and I won't be heartbroken if it doesn't work.
Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12
Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck. Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.
This Cluttered Life
BFP #1 12/02/11, M/C 12/08/11
BFP #2 04/06/12, DD born 12/20/12
BFP #3 06/09/14, M/C 06/15/14
This exactly.
Oh heck no.
Our plan was 2. Twins made a special 3.
Our son is almost a month and I think we will wait until he is a year before we start trying for number 2.
This.
I'm 99.9% sure we are done, While I like being PG, the thought of a 4th c-sec & having to do the NB stage again is enough to make this it, I have three beautiful, healthy perfect little girls & feel blessed. I do feel like our family is complete.
For thr record DH will be the one to get snipped!
Our job isn't conducive for kids ESPECIALLY with both of us working and I depleted all my time to have her. Time it took me almost 5 years to buildup.
Yeah - I was the same way. Got pregnant, unexpectedly. Welcomed boy #3 five weeks ago!
Boy 16, Boy 15, Boy 13, Girl 10, Girl 8 & Twin Boys 3, and Bacon!
