Thanks mummymoni, but its not looking so good atm.
Also savina, hubby and i never planned on having a big family, i wanted 2 kids and he told his mum that he was never having kids at all, then we met, we had an opsie, and she was the best thing ever to happen to us, after #2 which was a boy everyone said ,oh pigeon pair you dont need any more kids', so we gave everything away, then one night, hubby and i are watching tv, and we just both looked at each other and said something is missing, we need another child, when she was born, i thought i would really like another one hubby said no, i accepted that, then he changed his mind, when it came to #5 we just dtd and if it resulted in pregnancy we were both fine with that, then i said i want one more, hubby said no, i was just accepting that when he did a 180 and said ok we can try in april 09, well that has been upgraded to dec 08.
Hubby likes the idea of one day when all the kids are grown, they come around for a bbq with their partners and our grandkids, and we all have a massive family get together.
mum of five that is what my DH and I are looking forward too as well, having all the grandkiddies around especially christmas and easter. I too would just keep going and going but DH has said no more, I have to accept that but it is hard to think I'll never have anymore bubs .
For us, we are both currently content with the 4 we have although I still detect traces of desire with my wife...not allot but occasionally. From time to time we discuss it, but it ultimately comes down to the fact that neither of us (her especially) are ready to permanently say one way or the other.
Right now neither of us wants anymore, but neither of us are ready to do something drastic that takes the issue away from even discussion. Therefore we know now is not the time to do anything drastic. Right now if we got PG it would not be all balloons in the house, but we both know it wouldn't be the end of the world either and we both would love the little one to pieces. So in our case we are doing nothing right now to prevent (except "Pull and Pray" ) and are waiting for her cycle to return at which time we will use NFP until we are able to actually say we are done - or Mother Nature tells DW we are done (Our current method of BC is not related to our desire to be done or not done).
Lol nothing like keeping a thread alive!! LOL, this thread started in November, but it's such a valid topic. I will tell anyone who wants to listen that "I'm done!!!" and that it's DH who wants another 2 yet!!! but quietly (on a public forum ) I don't know, I sometimes think I'd love to be pregnant again and have a newborn again and add to our tribe.
But Nathan is now 3 and off to Kindy next year with the other 4 in school, I will finally get some me time back and I can't hardly wait. But how will I be in an empty house??? Is that really a good reason to have another baby? When it comes down to it, DH has always wanted a big family, 7 infact, I only wanted 2, I think I have gone above and beyond to give him his big family, including putting my career aside to raise all of them, which to be truthful has been wonderful and I wouldn't have it any other way, but I don't have any babies in the house anymore and I love it!!! So I guess 5 is final for me. DH puts off getting the snip coz he thinks he can change my mind, Not gonna happen!!! I have the Marena in and it has been awesome, I have to get a new one put in soon, or him get the snip, so we'll see what happens!!!
Hi there Coolahbadee - you are on the gold Coast with 5 kids! We were living there for a while and there is hardly anyone there with more than 4 kids. People think you are so nuts! We were a real freak show on the coast, now living in a smaller town its not so bad.
Anyway we have decided to try for number 8!!!! my baby in well over 1 now so he would be about 2 if I get pregnant soon, a good gap for me. We would love to have another girl but God is is control of that! So stay posted and maybe I will have some good news to share sometime soon.
I'II add my bit, we never planned on having a large family... it just happended that way, somehow its easier to have more, the more you have!!!!You already upgraded the car, the kids just have to share rooms, you might have extended??? We are already planning on adding "we think we know how it happens now" on our next birth annoucement!!!! I love the don't get to watch much (TV) "too much sex on" remark, must try that one out....
LOL Pam regarding the TV/blackout comment I just respond with "Noooooo!!!!! Are you kidding me!!!!" Too Much TV!!!! The big A$$ TV and DVD is what got us into trouble in the first place" (wink wink nudge nudge)...shuts ppl up very quickly, hehehehehehehe.
