Deciding whether or not to have a 3rd...

I always said we would have 2 and that would be it which hubby is happy with, BUT....now that we are going thru all the "last" things ie last labour last mw visit, etc im thinking maybe 1 more wouldnt be so bad.... We already have a big car and the house thing isnt too much of a major as we are just renting until our house in another town sells but then there are also times when i wonder if i would cope sometimes its hard enough trying to get 2 dressed and ready to go out etc......Oh the joy of big decisions huh....

Hi Sheena, Kaelen was 16 months when i got pregnant with Isabella. We planned it that way. I have to say it was hard having that gap, but that was because of how unhappy Isabella was for such a long time. Since you had 14 months between yours it would probably feel like a decent sized gap to you. Hehe. I hope your DH will agree to TTC sooner. Our partners need to swap their way of thinking. Haha. Since yours wants to wait and mine doesn't. Good luck.

shannon that's what i keep thinking of too, never going through all the stages again, and while i used to think that sounded great now it doesn't. lol. Yeah it's not an easy decision is it.

Hopefully next time we'll both have happy settled babies with no problems at all. Isabella screamed sooo much for months. It was really only when she got to 6 months that she started to become happier and stopped crying all the time. She's finally started sleeping better recently, YAY! lol. She can still be really clingy and whingey at times. Still love her to bits though, she's an awesome little girl and so much fun.

Surely the next one won't be as bad as her... right?? We're getting married at the end of next year (hopefully!), so i definitely don't wanna get pregnant before then.
