    We think we are now finished at three, but you never know i guess. At this point i am just happy to sit back and enjoy watching them grow up. What about yourself?

    We can only have one more due to prev csects but would love 2-3 more if we could! Would love to look into adoption after we've had our last bub and fostercare also.

    That is fantastic and so nice to see you obviously love being a mum. I hope you enjoy every bit of your next pregnancy and baby being your last. It is sad that you can only have one more but an adopted child would be just as amazing. I see that you are ttc now, hopefully not to much longer hey! Also i see that your babies were a little early, so were my three,
    tahlia 34 weeks, jay 36weeks and ella 38 weeks, i keep getting closer!!

    lol I got a month closer each time... 31, 35 and nearly 39 weeks!! I joked to my surgeon that next time I might go over but they wont let me pass 37 weeks if I made it that far again so it wont happen lol

    How funny! I think 37 weeks is a perfect time anyway to have the baby. Do you care if you have a boy or a girl next? The thing i will miss about being pregnant and having babies is picking the name, i am obsessed with baby names!!! lol..

    lol ohh we have chosen names for 'future baby' already

    honestly I dont mind what we have next (twins - one of each would be lovely) lol theres benefits to both... a girl would be lovely as then the youngest 3 would be girls and as it will have a 6 yr age gap to its brothers and only 3 yrs hopefully til its sisters that might work well. Not to mention we only have pink baby things left in this house but thats a down fall too... I wouldnt have as much reason to shop if it were a girl lol If it were a boy it would be lovely as I havent had a little baby boy for so long now! My baby boy is 6 this year lol I miss blue baby things!

    Either way I'm happy. Hubby would like another girl, I think because then all the younger ones are girls as I mentioned but I'm sure he'd be happy either way

    What, other than your childrens, names do you like?!

    LOL so are your names secret??? I know what you mean by the bigger age gap between the boys if it was to be a boy, tahlia and ella are basically 6 years apart and i'm loving having a little girl again, it feels like its been 4eva since i had tahlia. Hmm names i like now, Boy i love Koby and Miller, Girls i like Remy, Taya, and maybe Tia. We had those three names when pregnant with Ella but obviously liked ella just that little bit more. If ella was a boy she would have been Koby Ryder. So what names do you like???

    Lovely names!

    We want Adaleigh for a girl (the only other name we like is Natasha but pretty set on Adaleigh) And we like Nicholas for a boy I just think Alex, Zach and Nick go really well together hehe Knowing me I'd change my mind on nicholas when it came down to it especially as the other boys name I like is Zebulan. Oh for a girl (hubby says no way in hell...) I LOVE Mercedes, I wanted Isobella to be mercedes but hubby said no so I said its either Mercedes, Imogen or Isobella and as he got to choose I got her middle name as Monet after my fav artist

    I Love names too.. can you tell? lol

    Middle names I really like Aquita for a girl... I wanted Savannah Aquita but hubby thought it would be a bit of a mouthful! Men! lol

    Oh gosh I hope we get preg soon, I'm so clucky and so ready for another bub! My 'baby' is nearly 2 and if she has her2nd birthday without me being preg it will be the longest in 6 years that I havent been preg lol I dont want to make that 'milestone'!!

    Very nice!! I love mercedes!! Also love Adeleigh for a girl, very pretty! Alex Zach and nick go great together! I hope you dont make that milestone either, is it taking alot longer than ever before to get pregnant? Each month must be starting to really drag!! My fingers are crossed for you that you are pregnant before your daughters 2nd birthday!!

    In all honesty we've never had to try before... all unplanned babies so far. If one more person tells me to 'stop trying and it will happen' though I think I'll scream lol We WANT to plan a baby thus why we are trying.. if we decide to stop trying it would be because we changed our minds I guess...

    So definitely never had problems concieving before.. sav was a once off 12 weeks after I'd given birth to bella and I didnt even think I could get pregnant as i was bf'ing around the clock and AF hadn't yet returned... but alas 9 months later we gave birth to another gorgeous girl

    Now thats a top effort!! They will grow up and be very close and look out for each other like twins, they even share the same birthday! Amazing! some things are just meant to be. As for this next bub who is taking his/her time, i guess you'll be even more excited when you get your good news! In the mean time, i'm sure your hubby doesn't mind the whole trying to concieve thing! I'll keep a look out for your post in pregnancy announcements!!
