I think we’ve decided…

November 2nd, 2007 CarrieRusso

Ever since having my second baby 9 months ago I have wavered about the idea of having one more baby. Mostly because I just love sweet, little, tiny newborns and it is fun to watch them grow. I also want my children to have other siblings. There are pluses to having only two children because they often have a very strong bond because there isn’t another sibling to go to when one gets mad at the other so they must resolve disagreements quickly. But, as a woman, there is nothing like having a sister to call on when you need her. I really want my daughter to have a sister. But I have also had the feeling that I don’t want to go through the awake at night, crawling, falling over crying, putting everything out of reach stage again.

Well, my 18 month old nephew came and stayed with us for two days and I think we have determined that three children just doesn’t feel right. When I looked at three children and then look up at my husband with that eye, he shook his head and said “I’m not feeling it.” That’s okay…I wasn’t feeling it either.

The part where I put “think” in here though is because I still feel like I do want another but not for about 3 years. This would add quite a bit of time between the youngest and middle child. Adoption is always an option if I feel like I don’t want to do the baby years again.



Now What?

    Well, I can throw this post out the door because we are having another one coming in October of 2008. We are very excited and we actually decided in December that we would try to conceive…well, I don’t think it took more than a moment because we found out that we got pregnant just after Christmas.

    So, we are planning homebirth #3 with our wonderful midwife.
