Sadly, 2 is enough.
Today Isaac is 7 weeks old. He's practically busting out of his 0-3 sleepers and I'm putting them away to sell in the spring. Earlier this week I went for my postpartum appointment where we discussed long term birth control options. Sniff! My baby years are behind me.
I find it strange that I'm sad about that. I was never the girl who dreamt of having kids. It wasn't till I went through a pregnancy with my friend Tracey that I thought. "I need to do this"... but at the time it was only because I felt the need to know what if felt like to have the baby move inside me. Once it was my time, I realised that I was a natural baby maker. I know I complained alot during the last few months but over all, being pregnant was the time in my life that I felt the best. I loved my baby belly so my self esteem was way up. The labours where easy and extremely short (6 hours and 3 and half hours if I can brag) and my kids are great sleepers so even a few weeks in I feel fantastic and relatively rested. And you KNOW I cook some really beautiful kids. It seems like babies are the things I do best in life and now that's over.
Don't get me wrong, I am perfectly happy with two kids and have no desire to have another. Most days lately I feel like I should have adopted 5 year olds so I wouldn't have to deal with the frustration of dealing with the terrible two's. I'm absolutely sure that we're done but I mourn none the less. There are lots of things to look forward to but I can't help but be sad. But just a little.

You two do make some cute ass kids! Not sure how that happened.. heheheh
So are you going to send your hubby for the big snip snip like I did? Best option out there! hehe
I feel good about just have two, especially after yakking for two pregnancies and the massive blood loss during labour. But whenever I hold a little baby I almost want another!
I know Kara! You would expect me to have cute kids but with Nick being the father.... hehe.
No snip just yet, I repeat... YET.
I know how you feel. I had to stop at one for a few reasons, but I constantly think about the what ifs. I really would have liked to have two, although there are advantages to having a smaller family too!
i am pretty dead set on just 2, but i do mourn it too, i would love more but right now my family is perfect. and its like karma, every time i get an itch, the kids drives me insane. i babysat a friends baby not to long ago b/c they had to run some errands, babe is 3 months old, she cried so much! i told myself, my gosh Aida, you've done this before, think. but i was numb, i guess i am so used to toddlers/preschoolers now.
i am esp loving my kids age, yes the fights are hard, but i wont trade them for the world.
i have the mirena IUD, i must say i love it alot! i havent had a period since Ben was born!
