Anyone thinking about #3??

TMs1stBaby · June 2009

We have 2 boys 14 and 3 months. We talked this weekend about having number 3. I said we could start trying in about a year, but part of me is thinking that this would be the last, and I might actually just prefer to get the final pregnancy over and done with. I am pretty sure this makes me certifiably insane.

We want two more kids...but I do want a little break. I am hoping that I can be a SAHM since I work right now. Maybe in 2-3 years I will be OK with having kids 3 and 4 back to back again.

We are (though #2 isn't here yet). ?If we decide to go for #3 it will definitely be sooner rather than later. ?I don't think 4 kids are in the cards for us and I don't want to have 2 kids really close in age then a large gap leaving kiddo #3 kind of out on their own. ?

I had 3 kids in 3 years. Unless you have help (I don't have any help around), I don't recommend it. I just hired a babysitter (part-time) for the summer and it's helping me out a LOT.

I've been either PG and/or nursing for over 4 years now. I'm TIRED and sleep deprived. The beginning is NOT easy.

We always said we wanted 4, but right now, 3 is enough for us.

I'm about 75% sure we'll have a #3. But, we're spacing #2 and #3 out a little further than #1 and #2. #2 will be 3+ if/when #3 comes along. While I really have liked some aspects of 2 under 2, I can't do it again.

We are planning to have a #3 (and #4) but we want to wait until the boys are in preschool. I guess it really depends on how it goes with #2 but I would be so sad to not have 3-4 kids.

My body is ready for a break. I'm already looking forward to weaning this baby in a year+! LOL

2 days after Jace was born I turned to DH with tears in my eyes and said "Can we PLEASE have just one more?"

Totally thought I'd be done with 2. ?Even asked for a tubal during my section.

No one is more surprised by my desire for a 3rd than I am. ?(except maybe DH who emphatically says "no").

Oddly enough with my youngest being 17 months already I kinda feel like it's too late to have a 3rd. ?Like they'd be spaced too far apart.

I really like having the boys so close together.?

I love the spacing of DD and DS (14 months). We are on our way to #3. We plan on 5 or 6 total. I want to wait 2 or 3 years for #4 and then have 2 or 3 close together again. I think it is easier to have all the baby stuff out at one time and get the sleepless nights out of the way.

We are 99% sure we want 3 or 4 kids. We will either adopt two more or try to have one or two more biological children. Pregnancy has been kind of unpleasant for me and I really need a break before even thinking about it again. So maybe in 3-4 years we will have another kid. But to answer your question, I think about it all the time!
