How do I grieve no more kids?

[tan32]

I must say I feel the same way.
I have been blessed with three beautiful children and three wonderful pregnancies and births.
I had always said I wanted 4, DH has said 3.
So we have three. I would love another little bubba to join our clan. In reality I don't see it happening unless its a whoopsie.
Dh likes the comforts of life and with our eldest being nearly 12 I think he is looking forward to some grown up times, although with the youngest being 2 its a long way off.

I know how you feel, in bucket loads Dan, I'm tearing up typing this ! I have 2 teenagers DH and I have a 3yr old. I made no secret of the fact that I wanted another IF the prenancy with DS 3 went well, it did. When he reached 1 yr old I mentioned when to start trying again and he just flat out said NO. Its been 18 months since he really put his foot down and I still think about it every day and cry about it frequently. There is an age factor for us, I am now 42 and he is 45. I dont see that as too much of a problem. To me its like DS 3 is an only child as he is so much younger and teenagers are so into their social lives a preschooler doesnt really enter into it much. Its just another reason to want 1 more though. Really its me that wants another SO MUCH. Any way none of this helps you, sorry, I'm just another greiving ! I hope it helps to know you are not the only one. I know it helps me , just a bit , knowing you all understand how I feel right now.
