From the time DS2 was 3 months old (after the "OH MY GOD! I DON'T REMEMBER IT BEING THIS HARD!! phase was wearing off ) we knew that we wanted to try for another. And up until a few weeks ago that plan was still very much in place. But now, out of the blue, I'm not so sure.
If we do have another we want to start trying now because we want a much smaller age gap this time around but things are just starting to get so much easier and I'm wondering if I really want to do it all over again.
I love the idea of 3 kids...when they are older. The idea of 2 littlies and a newborn is not so attractive. I feel like I am just starting to get a handle on things again, we have a lovely little routine in place (most days!) and it feels good!! I could honestly say that right now I'm content with my 2 boys and lets close the book. My fear is that in a few years time when the boys are older, I'll think differently. I just always had it set in my mind that I wanted 3 and my husband and I are both at an age where it really needs to be now or never.
I'd love to hear any stories from people who have been through the "should we, shouldn't we" and how they've felt about their decision in hindsight. I totally understand that this is an individual decision to be made by our family alone. I'm just really interested to hear others stories.
