Why do I have the baby bug?

in March 2012 Moms

We never wanted more than 2 kids, and I absolutely, positively detest being pregnant.  So WHY do I suddenly want to have another baby?  Kelsey is just perfect in every way and she's still so teeny.  I just feel like time is going so fast with her and I am sad she won't be this small forever.  I know firsthand that she'll be even cooler at 6 months, and 10 months, and a year, and beyond.  I know I'll never have a 3 month old again and that makes me sad.  I said that to my 4 yr old this morning and she said "Why?"  I told her I have no idea!  Must be hormones.

On another weird hormone note, we went to the Museum of Flight today and I nursed Kelsey while watching a movie clip about WWII.  I don't know if it's the hormones that release while breast feeding, or what, but I was practically in tears.  I'm not much of a crier, but the loss of life and tragedy of circumstances made me so sad!

Hope everyone is having a nice Sunday.

    At work yesterday I watched a patients 11 day old baby girl while her husband took their older daughter to the bathroom. I seriously could not stop thinking about wanting a new baby. I want to wait until M is 4 but I can't help but think about it going by so quick!

    We will definitely have a 3rd some day.  I just hosted my friend's baby shower and her baby is so tiny and I got a twinge to have another baby...even though DD2 is only 3 months old.  Then I have both my kids screaming at the same time and I think a huge age gap between them would be great this time....like 3-4 years. 

     I think there are still a lot of hormones still in play in that and I also think once DD2 turns a year old we will have a better picture of when we would add a third.  I also sometimes think that I want to wait awhile longer because number 3 may be it.  I always wanted 4 kids and DH says we will talk about it after 3.  If a third pregnancy is the last, I don't want to rush to it and through it.

    I was sorting through Dominiks clothes today, It didn't make me broody for another baby but it ws a shocker seeing how tiny some of his clothes were. I didn't hate being pregnant or my L & D but hubby and I are not planning any more partly due to my age and plans we would like to fulfill.. but if mother nature has other plans.. such is life. I

    never planned on one, let alone more than one.. I always figured mother nature would take the reins on that one and whatever happened was meant to be.

    DH and I feel complete- we're pretty sure we're done.  But I have absolutely loved having a newborn.  But the thought of the work that comes later is stopping me from wanting a 3rd ... 

    That, and DD is, in my completely biased opinion, the absolute best baby on the planet.  She's content, she eats, sleeps 10+ hrs/night and naps well, and that's about it.  DS was a more difficult baby, but he's a great little 3.5 year old.  I don't necessarily want to roll the dice again.
