Do you have more than 2 kids?

[Michelle2]

I have 4 kids---DS13, DD12, DD9 and DS3. After our third, we had pretty much decided we were done, but never did anything permanent. After 5 years, I felt too young to not have any kids at home during the day anymore....We thought we would start trying in about a year or so, but we were surprised with him earlier than we thought. It was a good thing though because there was already 6 years between our 3rd and 4th.

I wasn't sure if we were done, but DH went in right away and got a V done...he was sure, and I knew 4 was probably all that we could sanely handle...LOL

I have two beautiful daughters, 5 and 2. I love being a mom. My DH and I decided in May we would start trying for a third. Well May is cruising on over and I am getting cold feet. I really do want another kid, I feel like someone is missing at the table, I just.....I don't know, I am petrified to jump back in.

Have any of you been in this situation? Are in this situation? What are your thoughts and feelings? Experiences?

Not to mention, that is another seasonal ticket to buy!

Oh gosh, I know how you feel. I have a daughter 14, a son 9. . . and a 2 year old!!! I was TERRIFIED. I can't even tell you. . . my husband was WONDERFUL, but I was so scared. . . not ready in the least.

Anyways, do you know that I went to get induced and was so scared (not of the pain) that the ob suggested I reschedule??? I was already in bed, with an IV and everything. And, the anesthesiologist told me if I didn't relax, I'd have to go through it without an epidural. I said, "okay". . . but DH encouraged me to stay and helped me relax as much as he was able to. I was just not at all ready for baby number 3.

My little one is absolutely adorable and smart and nice and beautiful and just perfect in everyway. For the first year or so, it was hard (not emotionally, just because babies are babies!). We had moved and had no family or friends nearby, either. But, it did get easier, and my older daughter can babysit, and we have so much fun together.

But, I know what you mean!

Anyways, she is so excited about our next trip (her second, but she doesn't remember that first trip) to DisneyWorld! She is so excited to meet Mickey, Goofy, Pluto, Duck (Donald), and Cinderella (yes, we got seats for breakfast!).

Good luck!

We have 2 beautiful DD's ages 3 and 5. I always envisioned 3 kids (DH was not keen on 3-2 was enough for him) Thanks to medical reasons, I was advised I shouldn't have any more children-so I'm just going to savor every moment with my 2 blessings

I had one beautiful son after 5 years of marriage. I really didn't want anymore children because I didn't think anything could be as perfect as he was. DH really wanted another one so when DS was 8 we had #2. I thought maybe we were finished, but I wasn't sure so we didn't do anything final. I thought I would know when I was done. Well 5 years later DD was born. My kids were 13, 5 and we had a newborn. It was 2 weeks before our 18th wedding anniversary and people thought we had lost our minds!!

I can't imagine our lives without her. She brought something to the table we didn't know we were missing.

Because of our ages, she was our last, but we KNEW we were done at that point, and we made it final, but I have always known we did the right thing.
