I want a third LO

jkelly41 · March 2013

I have two LOs- 4 yr old DS and 2.5 yr old DD. I'd love another one but DH isn't sure and we've been going round in circles since the summer. I just had my IUD removed, but we changed our minds again about TTC. I'm going a little nuts with the back and forth. Part of me thinks we're nuts to have a third since day care is SO expensive and we aren't sure we could get by on DH's salary alone.

I'm with ya, even though my youngest is almost 10 months old! I'm not sure we could make it with the cost of daycare and other issues. The thought of being done also scares/upsets me. We are having a garage sale this summer and it's been hard getting toge

Would you consider fostering? No baby weight to gain, no leaky boobs, no getting up 1000 times a night to pee and you get to take care of another child...

It's something I'd really like to do when we have a bigger house, we don't have roo

If your oldest is 4yrs, can you time your 3rd child so you wouldn't have DC until he goes to kindergarten? I definitely want a 3rd, and probably a 4th, but will wait until my youngest is at least 2-3. Having 2u2 is challenging, I need them all

I'm so torn. I can refocus on my career, travel, get out of diapers, stop paying daycare, be able to afford college for my two..........OR.........get more baby cuddles. Logically, I know what the answer is, but it still doesn't stop me fro

I am glad we aren't the only one who is having this discussion. My daughters are 4.5 and 2. We are trying to decide whether we are done or not.

I am currently pregnant with #3. When I thought about being done at two, it made sense in every imaginable way. However, the thought of not having another baby made me feel like someone punched me in the gut. I just did not feel like

We're thinking about this as well. I really don't want to be done. I want a big family, but I'm just not sure about having one right now.

My LO is only 3 months old & I know I want a 3rd. I knew while I was still in the hosptial this wasn't the last time I wanted to do this (all of it, including being pregnant).

The plan is to start trying right around DS2 2nd birthday... so

The back and forth was hard on me too. But, I will say that I would wait until your first is in school to have a 3rd. Or even until your 2nd is closer to being done with PS. I don't mind paying for 1 in daycare for 4 more years, but I"m

This conversation is so amazing to me because I feel like my DH and I have the same conversation but on one versus two. L doesn't STTN so part of it is sleep deprivation-related, but I also just don't know how we could swing nanny, private school fo

Thank you all so much for your responses! While we aren't old, I'm 33 and DH is 34 and we would prefer to have a baby within a year. I found out recently my mom started menopause at 35 and it's freaked me out some!
