    HI !

    You sound just like i did not so long ago.

    I had 2 boys with a 2.5 year gap. Second was an absolute nightmare baby !
    5 years later said to my husband i wanted another one - eeeeeekkkkk !!
    I guess i was over the trauma of baby number 2.
    Along came baby number 3.
    Now that baby number 3 is 19 months old we have decided to try again ( last one! )
    I must be crazy but we feel like baby 3 will be like an only child and it would be nice for him to have a playmate. Dont know about our chance of any holidays in the next 10 years or so !
    I thought i was over the longing and yearning - NOT!!!!
    It is a big decision - cant believe i might have 4 kids.

    Good luck - I have 3 boys. Ages 9, 6.5, 19 months.
    (secretly hoping for GIRL - more than happy with another boy ! )

    I thought I was WELL over any urge, well over. I feel complete with three....until we were looking at DS's photo albums, his birth etc. Then he started kinder this year....oh dear I found myself longing for just one more.

    won't be happening though!

    I went through a super-clucky stage when Imran was about 1. Luckily for me DH refused to even contemplate another. Eventually the clucky passed and I'm so grateful to DH.
    I love having my 2 big boys, being able to go away with only enough equipment for half an army and being semi-spontaneous. I'm really glad that I can enjoy my family without the stress of a baby.
    Maybe one day I'll want another but for now I'm selfishly enjoying trips to the snow, free days(thanks to child care) and conversations about which ice-cream is the most important.
