kind of freaked to ttc #3

It won't be for a year or two, but I have been thinking about it alot lately.  First, I feel like the world is kind of made for families of 4.  One kid for each parent, just makes life very doable.  Am I going to be constantly overwhelmed if my dh and I are outnumbered?  Second, I feel like I am tempting fate.  I have two beautiful, healthy, smart children.  What if we aren't so lucky next time?  I just worry that I have been so blessed the first two times maybe I shouldn't mess with a good thing for fear I could end up with a very sick baby, or dangerous pregnancy.  But I have this nagging gut feeling that I am not done having babies.  I so want to be pg at least once more, go through the whole pg, labor, newborn stage again.  Am I crazy to worry??

    Well, it is hard to find toothbrush holders...

    Who cares what the world is made for!  I have 3 and love it but it is a lot harder than I thought it would be and I am overwhelmed a lot of the time.  But I wouldn't change a thing if I could.  :)

    As a Mom of 3 I'll just say you are crazy to worry more about #3 than you did any of the others...otherwise worrying in general is normal.  So far, I've found having my 3rd has been the least stressful of any addition to my family.  By 3 you actually have a clue what you are doing--LOL!

    Honestly, that's a lot of what went into our thinking.  The world is made for families of four.  Family of four packs of tickets.  Seats on an airplane.  People being able to pick us up at the airport.  Rides at an amusement park.  Everything.  My girls are also the easiest kids ever (for me) and everyone keeps telling me I'll have a nightmare baby/child next.  (They told me that for DD#2 since DD#1 was so easy too.)  But at the end of the day, we just knew we weren't done with just the girls.  I'm not 100% sold on being done with this one, though I think DH is and I said I would be if we had them this close together again.  We'll see.  Either way, DC#3 is on her/his way and there's nothing we would do about it now!  I just figure it'll all work out somehow.  It always seems to.

    LOL about the toothbrush holders. But yes, all of this exactly.

    I still feel all of that and am way past TTC #3.  I am banking on having the "meant to be feeling" at least by the time he is 18 ; )

    I could have written this post myself...you're not the only one with these concerns.
