Thinking about a third child...

brewcitybride

...but afraid to let my thoughts go there yet! I always knew I wanted three children, and at 33, I'd like to get the third pregnancy out of the way before I get into "high risk" category. My pregnancies were rough, though. And our house is small, and we are trying to sell it. Ha! A few months ago, I swore I was done. Now, not so sure...anyone else thinking three?!

I'd love a 3rd because I'd like a bigger family and I love watching my LOs interact, but I also think like it may be alot more work and I may end up regretting it.  I always use a double stroller or wear DS so that at least 1 is always contained, and DS doesn't even move yet!  I feel like once I have to chase 3 I may be in over my head.  DH is convinced he's done, but I'm 30 so I'm not getting rid of anything just yet, I'll give myself about 3 years to see if DH changes his mind or if I feel very strongly one way or another, there is no way we can afford 3 in child care anyway.

We're already talking about our third!  We're definitely going to go for it, but I'm still trying to mentally prepare myself for another rough pregnancy.  And we're finally in our groove with two kids and life is good, so it's kind of scary to willingly bring more chaos into our lives.

We feel that our family is complete at 2.  I honestly couldn't take another pregnancy and newborn stage.

Yes, we are still in discussion mode over having a third child or not.

See ticker! I'll be nearly 38 when this one is born.

I had two healthy kids at 37 and 39 respectively, easy pregnancies and births and both are fine. If you had rough pregnancies that would concern me more than your age. We will not be having three, though. At 41 we'd have to go for it right away and we can't afford three in day care (and I have no desire to be at home with three small kids - Calgon take me away!)
