Lol had to have a laugh after reading your previous post last week. Babies are just so addictive arent they!? I think it would be great for you to have another, your DD would have someone to grow up with. Double the work & mess, but think of the rewards.
QB - I think once you had written the thread - put it out there for real - that could have made you think twice.... we always seem to see things clearer when its put in front of us in writing!!!
And FWIW - I think having two is great!!
Let me know if you want to catch up sometime - and you can see how crazy it is with 2 under 2.. lol
We have a 7.5 year gap between our first two. I said I wouldn't go back, mainly because that's just how I felt at the time. HOWEVER, DD2 is now 3, DD1 is 10, and definitely the biggest blessing has been seeing them develop an unconditional love for another person. I know this generally happens with parents (sometimes not though) and I know for sure they unconditionally love me, but they are soul sisters.
that doesn't mean they don't fight, and I definitely dont' rely on them being close always, I know enough to know that is not the reason to have more than one kid, but I can see they will always love each other. There's a connection, a bond and a caring that I have never seen before and it makes my heart melt. It is definitely worth it becuase of that alone. I also think it's so important that they have learnt this type of compassion, empathy, love. I get teary so often just seeing the way they protect and care about each other. It really is amazing.
But like I said there's loads of fights, even with that age gap, and many testing times. I am not sure why Im having a third (as in I am feeling SCARED about having three to look after) but it's all outweighed by the pure love I can see my kids share.
