   Strange I know, but feel free to add yours. I have now just realised that there are no more babies coming from me. At first I thought it would be ok, but sitting here getting the stuff ready for the boys tomorrow I am thinking I am not going to have another one in nappies and what am I going to do with all this baby stuff  . I know I should dwell on it but for some reason now it has happened I am not so sure now  |

   Know what you mean Becks, unfortunately it hit me a little earlier, I guess cause I'm getting rid of the baby stuff as I go along? 
 I am second guessing myself every few days & I shouldn't, I only want one child but I guess it's the I'll never.....part.
 Why can't they stay little for longer    eta...hmmm that should have been wanted two children...what was my brain doing!

   Yeah T it would be nice if it is a boy, but she already had a boy. But I don't know if she still has his baby stuff. |

   I think I'll hit that soon, I'm quite happy never to have any more kids but I think they nastalgia of it all will hit me. But TBH at the moment I wish I didn't have any kids as it would make life decisions a lot less complicated.

   im trying the push that feeling to the back of my mind. We have decided that 3 will be it for us (even though that "may" change in years to come but doubt it!) and i keep thinking that i REALLY hope my sister hurrys up and gets preggo very soon so i will still have a new baby and cant get clucky!!!   Iv been going through my baby clothes and getting a little sad that if this bub is a girl then theres no point in keeping all of astins baby clothes!   |

   Yep, that's happening in my house too. I'm completely OK with the idea of not having any more babies, and the older lil miss gets, the more OK I get with it if that makes sense - like she's such a great, happy baby that I'm happy to end my baby years with the experience of her, whereas with the gremlins I never really felt 'done'.
 But getting rid of stuff is really hard, I don't know if I'd be able to do it if there wasn't the tiny, tiny, chance of maybe having another some day - like I don't have to commit to anything permanent, even tho I'm OK with it.

   i balled like a baby when we sold our cot!   i've got rid of most of the baby stuff now, just got the pram to go.  i'm NOT ok with the fact there will be no more kids for us, but i can't really do anything about it.  DH is set on 2 and has now had the snip, so that's that.
 i just wish my bestie would hurry up and get preggy again so i can hover over her bub    |

   I thought I was done too but now I'm kinda on the fence. It doesn't help I just spent two weeks working in the hospital with newborns and pregnant ladies. 
 Sounds like its pretty normal Mum behaviour Becks, not that that makes it any easier    |

   I must be the odd one out!
 We've decided this is it for us and I've been getting rid of baby stuff - and not a tear here     I was wrapped when I sold the pump
 Have you ladies forgotten the 'joys' of 2 hourly feeding; runny newborn poos; unsupported heads; cracked nipples; the witching hour.... This list can go on for a while    |
