baby number 3?

Oct 24, 2015 - 7 comments

So originally Dh and I wanted 2 kids, we got a healthy boy& girl, thinking we were complete. Lately I have thought way too much about a 3rd baby to go through with a tubal, but not quite ready to jump in to a 3rd soon. Dh is on board if I am with one more baby but I'm also really thinking is this just baby fever, chloe getting bigger, dameon in 1st grade, etc. I do NOT want a baby just because of baby fever, I can't keep having babies simply because I miss having one around, lol! But I can't sort through my feelings enough to figure out if I genuinley want one more or just miss a baby. I'm waiting a while until chloes more independent and probably in school to make a final decision, any thoughts on how to work through this??

I wish I had more advice to you, I have thought long and hard about baby #3 and always knew I wanted more than 2 kids. I don't know how I would feel if I had one of each already so mine stems more from the fact that I want to try for a boy. What I can tell you is sit on the idea for a little bit and if the feeling goes away then you know it's just baby fever. Definitely make sure you are 100% sure.

I want to wish you the best in whatever you and DH choose to do as far as completing your family. I think that it's an instinct (that's not exactly the word I'm looking for) as to how many children makes you feel complete. Personally, I know at my age, I'm done after J2. I wouldn't be able to space out a third at a time where M would be much more independent & I don't see being able to start over with a newborn after several years. I always wanted three kids before we were diagnosed with IF issues. I know the answer will come to you in time. You would be a wonderful mom of three. I am positive of that!!

Thanks ladies! I always anted 3-4 kids and then after Chloe and being sooo busy with these two, I'm wondering if a 3rd is too much on my plate. It wouldn't be til Chloe was in school. I think time will tell, if I space the 3rd one out farther than I did Dameon and Chloe I think I won't be as overwhelmed as I was going from 1 to 2. I keep coming back to really wanting 1 more and feeling "complete" with 1 more but I don't want to overload myself because that's not fair to anyone, especially my kids! Hopefully time will make it more clear!

I'm planning to actually have my 3rd before my life gets super busy! I have 2 years till I get into pharmacy school and by then all my time will be consumed, I thought about waiting till after for a 3rd but I will be 35 years old, Shoshana will be 13 and Aliyah will be 9 and I feel like at that time I wouldn't want another because of the space between and then regret not doing when I had the chance to.

Well we talked and right now we're going to go for baby number 3 when chloe's in school full days!

We have had this same discussion about #2. We are still very much on the fence about it, and we wouldn't even entertain the idea until 2017!! I keep flip-flopping on whether I'm ok with K being an only or not. You're right though, time will tell!

Good thing not to put it off too long if you want it ladies. I did and it became too late/too much of a struggle. Some days I wonder how bad it would have been just to let it happen! Good luck with your decisions. Not an easy one!
