Just saw this thread and thought mmmmm wonder if i can be classed as a large family!!! Antheia we seem to have a similar group of children!!!
DS is 6
DS is 3
DD is almost 2
and we are expecting again in August!!!
We already had an 8 seater car so we dont need a new car, we just moved into a bigger house in october last year!! I am a little concerned about the school run situation except three days a week i have to pick up ds2 from kindy and ds1 from school so that means getting out of the car twice in about 10 minutes!!!!!!!!! Not so much worried its just a pain!!! Honestly it will be ok i have done it all before and it will all work out in the end!!!
Looking forward to getting to know you all in here!!
Man I forgot about this thread ROFL and I started it
Anth hon - you'll be surprised how you will cope...it all just kicks in so to speak..I think having 4 kids is easy then having the 3..although atm the eldest 3 are driving my INSANE trying to do shoulder stands on the lounge room floor.

I tell ya my 3 are driving us nuts, but I guess thats just coz we have been going away every weekend since moving here and thats a 2.5hr drive, so plenty of time to drive us all nuts in a car... God I hope it gets better.... soon
I think I have created amonster with number 4!!! man he is madness, he body slams the boys and then tries the same on mini me who screams blue murder (she's only little)
I need some land...the kids are getting to big and need some space to run and poke at things
I do have a biggish gap between first three and last two so at times that makes it easier but then to swap the baby mum hat to the teenage mums one does prove a bit trying.
How do you ladies know when to stop? DH and I decided after Scout (number 4) that he was the last but I said to DH when he was only a few weeks old that he had better go for the snip because I knew I didnt feel finished. He said I was allowed one more and Yay we got our girl.
Now Peppar is almost 8 weeks and I hate the fact she is growing so fast and she is my last baby. I know if I really tried I could convince DH for "just one more" but I mean I have to stop somewhere dont I?
I dont look at the financial side of it as being a decider because if I was to accidentally fall pregnant we would make it work so same goes for a planned one. Although it would mean a new car as we have a 7 seater now but would need more.
Give some voice of reason advise please
I hear you on when to stop, I'm wanting one more, convincing DH is proving to be hard, he's doesn't sound like yours. And yes I would love a little girl, I think if I had a girl then I would be tempted to go for #5 to try for another girl so there would be sisters. I love being pregnant, and miss it so much.
I do know that if I do get my one more that will be it, DH just wouldn't cope with anymore so I will then happily allow him to get the snip (much to his delight)
Sorry I don't think I have been the voice of reason you were wanting.
