Those with FOUR kids

I seriously didn't want anymore after Gia - but Dh said that we'd agreed on 3 kids and he was adament.  When people would ask if we were having more after G, his response was an affirmative YES, without even blinking an eyelid.  I was the one to say "ahh, maybe, probably yeah, dunno".  But the desire to have another started coming back when Gia was a few months old.  Then after Jett I was soooooo soooo sure he was the last and DH would be happy with our 3..... but he still brings it up about having a 4th.  And the desire is coming back!!!  I wish I could just be done!  If I told Dh I'm not having anymore he would be fine about it though.

 

I'm excited for you Ann - when do you think you'll TTC #4?

well i am not on any BC (which isn't anything new as i haven't been on since having Rhylz)

If it happens it happens but ideally don't want to be pregnant till Nov (so august birth)

No spring chicken so sooner the better i guess........

Yay - August is a great month!  My boys are August babies, 2nd & 31st.

 

I was thinking this morning and told DH that Gia was Jett's age now, when Jett was concieved.  Dh said "so you do want another one now?"  I said no way!  Not at all!  But it's funny how even the smallest comment about things like that, he's soo keen to try for another.  Then he goes on to say that he'd like five kids!!!!  Forgoodness sake!  I said that he has to realise I'm the one who is pregnant.  And he knows that's no fun.  I just wish he'd give up on the idea of more children.

[QUOTE=Italiah] I think it's come down to Dh saying how he wants another.  QUOTE]

this is so true!!! i wasnt thinking about number 3 at all but had in the back of my head that we would probably have another 2 in 10 years time!!!!!! BUT when Astin was 2 months olds DH asked me if we could try for another one which really caught me off guard seen as he asked for #2 and said that was it.....but anyway i said no for now but he would bring it up all the time...and here we are (number 3 was our mutual decision - i made it sound like DHs word was final! lol).

I definately think you should go for it!! when your ready of course. I always think that if youv given something serious thought and then not gone through with it there will always be regret JMHO

Lol!  He gets plenty anyway, so he doesn't need to use that as an excuse.  He probably just likes the idea of not having to use contraception!!

 

 It's funny cos when we were a single couple, he didn't want kids straight away - but eventually, and then I unexpectedly fell pregnant with Rico, and he wasn't really that happy about it.  Timing was really bad though, just returned from our O.E. he was starting his own business and I'd just got a new job.  So I can understand how it would've been upsetting for him.  I was the one who was more than ready to start having a family.  But now he's the one willing for more, and I'm trying to pull the reins in.  Haha, can't win!

Hehe, I've tried that Ann.  Told him after I had Jett he was getting the snip!  And he was ok about doing that, but now he's saying we should wait for a few years before making that drastic decision.  I understand that, as there's no going back once that's done.
