I want another baby
There I said it. I have been telling people and myself that I am done but secretly I really don't feel that way. I don't want one tomorrow or even in a year (or two) but I want another child. Most people assume we are done because we have a boy and a girl but I feel like someone is still missing. And watching the relationship between Liam and Grace makes me want it even more, I absolutely melt watching them love each other it is better than I ever thought it would be ?
On the other side Bill is happy and content with the two we have but I just can't shake this feeling that I want one more. I also know if it never happens that I am still SO blessed and happy with our two beautiful, healthy babies......Totally crazy and this post really has no point but I just needed to get that off my chest. Thanks for listening 
Re: I want another baby
You know when you are done. Just like you know your husband is THE ONE, and your wedding dress is the right one. Just that gut feeling.
I know how you feel. When Taylor was smaller, I didn't feel done. I still don't feel done. We'll see after the second how I feel, but I completely understand.
Your kids are so cute though!

I always thought we'd have three; MH always thought two. I get sad thinking I'll never be pregnant again or never have a newborn again, and I like the idea of three siblings, especially as adults. But now that we're in the thick of two, I'm questioning it. It's a lot of work, and I don't know if MH is up to it, to be honest. And the daycare costs are crazy.
At the very least, I think we'd try and space a third a little further than the 23 months between these guys. Not much further, considering my age, but a little.
So glad this topic came up! I know 100% that I want another, but Ryan is so overwhelmed with Felix and with trying to make sure we can take care of him that another is not in his mind right now. I hate that. I know we are so lucky that I even got pregnant in the first place, but now that I know it can happen, I want another!
I try not to pray that Ryan will book something "big," because I really don't want to be a person that thinks so much about money -- but I know more financial stability (aka more savings and the ability to buy a house) will be the only way Ryan will go for it.
Same here! As we near the time when we plan to start TTC #2 I am developing all of these new worries and concerns. We both we want 2 so we'll go for it, see what happens and figure it out as it comes! Hearing stories of those of you with 2 doing well and wanting more is great!
This post made my heart swell. I love that you, "feel like someone is missing." That is instict and fate my friend!!
I totally want more but Seth doesn't. I love being a mom.

This is so funny because it is definitely my opinion (and MH, thankfully) and we haven't even had a first yet!
We are at that place where we're getting older and it's becoming more of a real decision, which is scary. We've been together for so long and have gone through so many phases of we want kids/we don't want kids and I'm finally in a place emotionally where I feel like it's no longer an option, it's just a matter of when. Unfortunately, H just found out he wasn't selected for a job he has been in the middle of interviewing for this morning, so clearly, we'll be waiting for now. I'm just starting to feel old and I'm worried about waiting too long in case it doesn't just "happen" for us.
But I second the feeling that it's so nice to see so many of you here saying that you just know something is missing - it is so sweet. It's also nice to see Maine babies are so darn cute - must be something in the water here
