MH is getting the snip snip

Can't believe it, but we are done.

I figure that if we do want another kid, it'll be in 5+ years when Benjamin is in school full time.  And then we'll be 36/37.  And I don't want to start over at 37 with babies again.

I'm a bit sad, but I got what I always wanted:  my two boys.

It's just such a *final* decision though.  Wow.

  • Dh had it done almost 2 weeks ago.  I still didn't feel 100% about it....but he was sure.  I know deep down we are done.  But it is *permanent*, it is *final*.  I had/have a hard time with it. 
    I know your feeling.  I am hoping it passes.  There is NOTHING I can do about it now. 
  • We can't seem to fully commit to the idea of only having the two and having dh snipped.  DH is 43 and I will be 41 in a month (yikes!) so I know I don't want to do it again.  It is just so hard to close a chapter of your life.  I still have all of my pg clothes, but i am going to get them ready for Ebay I think.  Maybe in a few more months we can let go.

    GL and (((hugs))))

  • Oh, that is final.

    You know what's right for you and your family --- just make sure you are doing the right thing!  :)

  • Mine will be getting it after K is born.

    He's 48 and I am 40, so the finality is a little less daunting for us. But still a big deal.

  • Welllll it seems final, but... my uncle got snipped after they had #6 and then my aunt got pg with #7 and now she's pg with #8. He got tested afterwards and everything was fine. (The kids are his too.)

     

  • Wow.  *hugs*

    I was excited at the finality of getting my tubal LOL  DH & I fully agreed on being most definitely DONE.  Heck I told the OB he could just yank it all out if he wanted, I'm done with it.

  • honestly, it is scary to make that "final" step...but once you do, you will see it as freedom...no more BC, no more condoms....its like sex when you are pregnant...you don't have to worry about ANYTHING.....so....here's to looking forward to great sex!!!  whooo hoooo!
  • LOL @ Kori's OB 'yanking' it out. HA

    I think it will feel good to make that *final* decision though, no?  I informed my DH that he will be getting the snip snip after we make that decision in a few years.  He looked like a deer in headlights. LOL

    Your family is perfect, that must help with the finality of it.

  • M's having it done, but we don't know when yet.  He says two, I say we leave our options open.  If the next one is a boy, then there will be a #3 sometime down the road.

    Couldn't have said it better myself!  Although I cried like a baby the night before DH got his done. 

  • I know exactly how you feel.  My DH is planning to have it done, we're done, it's just so sad.  I was staring at pregnancy mags at the bookstore today.  It is so very final.
