go for 3 or hold at 2....

i think i want to have another baby. no, i am not pregnant this second and no, i am not saying i want to get pregnant like yesterday. i am just thinking maybe, someday in the near future i want to add a third to our sweet little family of four.

i know what many of you are thinking (my husband included), why would you want to start over again. you have two gorgeous healthy children, one who is potty trained and about to be in preschool and another who is closing the door on all things baby and headed to toddler hood. you are so close to being done with diaper bags and bottles, cribs and onsies why would you want to go back?

because while being able to leave all those things behind is quite appealing. the joys of having another little in the house trumps that over and over again. there is nothing better(for me at least) then in the middle of the night when the house is quiet and its just momma and baby snuggled up in a rocking chair for a 3am feeding and the only sounds that can be heard are your newborns little breaths. and when the weight of their little bodies rests in your arms and you think your heart will certainly burst from being so full.

i know that it is not always bliss and that it will be hard in more ways then one. but when i look at my babies i think how can it be fair to the world for corey and i not to have more babies. i mean come on they are simply perfect.

  1. 3 things:

    - we are going to be poor forever ...
    - we will go insane and have less "us time"
    - I will need a contract saying that you will not wake me up in the middle of the night to take care of the baby : D

  2. You may not be able to buy your children tons of "things" but they can indulge themselves when they are older. The one thing they can never do is give themselves siblings. That's your job! I love this post. Children make the world go 'round :) And it's refreshing to see someone verbalize that they might go against the "norm" and have a big happy family!
