Do you feel content w 2 kids? Whats your thoughts on a 3rd? I think with working full time more then 2 could be quite a challenge. I think we are good with 2 until I look at baby pictures then I remember how precious they are as babies! Awww...
Re: Moms of 2...
Even though I have 4, I feel sometimes like I have two sets of two since the age difference is so big. (2 & 4 and 12 & 14). HaHa. I saw a lady the other day with 4 smaller children and I wonder how she did it.
Four kids definitely keeps me busy, never a dull day in my house.
I'm content with 1! hahah. Actually, I think about having another and DH wants another, but I am afraid with what happened last time. I know I need to do something soon though (I'm 34 and counting! lol). Then, A is such a handfull right now, I don't know if I could handle another one lol.
My SIL had the same problem as you (you had pre-e, right?)...my niece was a micro premie at 1 lb. 14 oz and totally fine now at 13 (and refers to herself as an alien baby when she was in her first yearr) and my SIL had zero problems with my second niece, who was basically a butterball compared to her older sister.
I am perfectly content with one and soon we'll be taking steps to make that permanent.
I just want to add that I spoke with my OB when I first found out I was pregnant with Harry to see what my likelihood of having complications with blood pressure would be, and she said that a lot of the time your body reacts faster to the change and fluctuations in hormones in subsequent pregnancies, and that you can have a much lower chance of having trouble with elevated BPs and risk of Pre-e. I had elevated blood pressures and on watch for Pre-e with Monk and have yet to have a single elevated pressure during this pregnancy. ((knock on wood))
