Anyone contemplating TTC #3?

When do you think you'll TTC #3?

How old are your kids now?

Do you SAH or WOH?

Are you terrified???  LOL!  I am!  But, still not stopping me, I think.

We are TTC #3 now, unless I chicken out first.

we have a 2.5 and 4.5 y/o.

I WOH.

I hope to be TTC #3 towards the end of this year ( I want a 3rd, DH is on the fence)

my youngest is 8 months now, but that's why i want to wait till the end of the year, when he's around 1.5 and my oldest would just be turning 4.

I'm a working mom, if we have a 3rd, the baby would be born in the middle/end of 2011 and I graduate college (went back to finish my degree) in July of 2012, so it would pretty much fall baby, graduate, get a better job allowing me to be home with my kids more.

I'm scared, keep wondering if i'd be able to handle 3, if the boys would be ok being "bunked" in the same room, how we'll afford college, ect. ect.

The hubs and I go back and forth on #3. We won't try/think about it until DS is at least 2.

DD is almost 4 and DS is 11 months.

I WOH

Yes, totally terrified thinking about three kids. However, I cannot imagine that DS is my last baby. We'll see.

When do you think you'll TTC #3? We are thinking about it right now. If we did it would be in Fall of 2010.

How old are your kids now? Right now they are 4 and 2, if all went according to plan, they would be almost 6 and 4 when the 3rd baby arrived.

Do you SAH or WOH? I WOH, this is the part that scares me the most because I don't know any moms that WOH and have more than 2 kids..

Are you terrified??? Yes, I wonder if we can handle it energy wise, plus I would be 35 when we tried and like I said the working thing scares me, I wonder if everyone will get the attention they need if we have another.

I found this webiste with a chat board that has some pretty good posts on it: https://www.havingthreekids.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=2&sid=455538009aec32955d2340d190464b9a

We are discussing it.  I want to, dh goes back and forth.  he wants another baby but at the same time the kids are getting so independant now that he doesn't know if he wants to back to baby mode.

My Ds is 5 and dd is 3.5.  I had an unplanned pg that ended in miscarriage in September.  I am ready to start trying again.  I work part time 2-3 days a week right now, but might stop if I had a baby.  Dh works from home on the days that I work, So I may not have to quit work.

It is a little nervewracking thinking about a third.  But I feel like our family is not complete and ds and dd also want a baby in the family.  So we'll see....

We are thinking about it.  I don't feel done.  DD is 15 mos and DS is .  I'd like to wait until DD is 2.  DH goes between thinking he's done and wanting to start now.  I'll be 35 this summer and that is a concern for both of us.

I'm definitely nervous.  What if I had twins?

eta:  I am a SAHM but not indefinitely.

We will start TTC #3 soon when DH is recuperated from his recent surgery.  DS will be 5 in March and DD is 3.5.  I'm a semi-SAHM and a med student.  I'm not terrified but I know it will be difficult to balance school and a new baby along with the two we already have.  We know we're not done having kids though so I'm looking forward to it.

We go back and forth on it.. If we do, we'll TTC when DD2 is 3+.

Our girls are almost 2 yo and 3 months.

I SAH, and yes, I'm terrified!

Sounds like a lot of others are in our same situation.  DH has been talking about #3 since before #2 came along, but when I got serious about TTC #3, he got cold feet.  It is scary, but we keep telling ourselves that it will just be hard for a short time.  I also worry about the $$, but I feel like we will be able to get by.   And, I'm not getting any younger (turning 36 this year).
