Flame-free Friday Confessions!

I'll start off that we are so blessed and I an so grateful to be able to be pregnant. We honestly did not expect to get pregnant so soon. My husband and I decided that we hoped for two children and we would be "done" trying. We got the genetic results back and we are having a boy - which I am very excited about. We have a daughter and she is so fun and she's just my best friend. I guess a part of me realized that I may want to try for more kids if we could just because I absolutely love being a mom. My husband has decided he's getting snipped after the second babe is born and I don't know really how to break it to him. I also have no idea how we would swing it even if I could convince him! Work has already been hard with one kiddo... I can only imagine two.. I can't even imagine more lol. Who knows... maybe this is all hormones. Can you have baby fever when you're already pregnant? LOL!

Edit: words.

Yes @brookert615 I know I’m looking forward to having another child after this one! I love being a mother and having a big fam. I don’t think everyone quite feels the same tho as I was telling one of my friends and she was like 👀 lol. 

My FFFC is that I block out an extra hour for my partner to watch 🧒 during my doc appointments so I can take myself out to lunch or coffee alone 😅

@brookert615 my hubby and I also agreed on two children prior to have any, and immediately following the birth of my daughter I could not wait to get pregnant again! I was like let’s have all the babies! He thought I was totally crazy. Finally got him to compromise and say definitely two with the option for a third and we’ll re-evaluate after this one. The baby crazed hormones went away after I stopped breastfeeding, although I still feel the same as the compromise and just want the option for a third. We’ll see!

@brookert615 - I am a fan of making no rash decisions right after a baby is born, so I'd talk to your husband and see if he'd be willing to wait for a bit.

@bkjade That is a genius idea about adding in an extra hour!!! 

@rgn12 Good to know that I'm not alone in this! That's a great idea to re-evaluate.

@mockingjay1 Good call, that's definitely something I'll talk to him about.
