Sherie, I guess part of it is that DD1 was brought up pretty much like an only child until now, she relates to the world as an only child and being pretty extroverted she has often felt lonely as a result. The age gap is now so big that E will also spend a lot of her childhood "like" an only child (H will be off doing teenagery things) and that just seems like a shame really. I guess I want both of them to grow up with some sense of sibling closeness - not sure if that's dependent on age closeness or not. Plus I'm just clucky as hell - she's soooooo gorgeous and it's terrible to think that it will end, four months have just raced past and then that will be it - no more babies! EVER! But I'm realistic enough about the demands of small children, I find the toddler years particularly draining & challenging. But like I said to DH, we can't really say we've chosen to have 2 chn if we haven't really considered what having 3 chn would be like.
Arte - DH is not keen to have another but I could talk him around. He's worried about the effect on my health mostly.
ETA - got distracted and missed a few posts, I'm supposed to be working this morning but it's like grand central station in here, I'm just enjoying the family time right now! LP - yay on your night out, sounds like it came at a really good time for you...I have the opposite problem, I *never* got asked for my id even when I was barely 18 - maybe I just look wise beyond my years LOL or more likely DH has a theory the bouncers don't ask if you've got really big knockers cos there's no time for them to get that big if you're underage (!) ROFL. IDK what goes on in men's heads, I don't think I want to know either sometimes...
