I always, ALWAYS, envisioned having 3 kids my whole life. DH only wanted 2, so 2 it was, because I definitely agree that no child should be unwanted in any way. I did have to struggle with it though.
I went to see a newborn cousin over the weekend and I was prepared to have my feelings attack me and bring on the baby fever. I held her for an hour, and nuthin' so I guess I'm really ok with being 2 and through. Not what I expected at all, but I'm glad about it.
Anyone else unexpectedly NOT have baby urges when you thought you might?
"Oh, the silent majesty of a winter's morn, the clean, cool chill of the holiday air,
an asshole in his bathrobe, emptying a chemical toilet into my sewer."
I have always wanted more than one, and I still want some more, but I also love our family how it is right now. I still have strong urges to experience pregnancy, but unless a miracle happens, that's just not in the cards for us.
No. I was the exact opposite. One and done! Then every baby made me want more.
Where is your H standing now?
He's standing strong on his position. Even texted me a potential vasectomy date yesterday, which I'm actually excited about because, if we're really done at 2, I really REALLY do not want any oopsies even though I'm religious about taking my BCP.

I still hope you'll get your miracle, but not in a false hope way. I hope you know what I'm trying to say. Words are hard.

Thanks. I still hope so, too. But it would be easier if I didn't!
