More Kids

My baby is going to be one this month! 🙁 Watching my kids grow is so bittersweet! Before I even got married, I wanted four kids. (Some of my boyfriends were not fans of this and needless to say, we didn’t work out. But that’s just fine, because it was much better to find that fact out then than after a marriage)! Now I have a dilemma on my hands, while I am very thankful and blessed to have four children, I still want more. My husband says he’s done, he doesn’t want any more! I know another child means a bigger vehicle and many other expenses. I just can’t fathom the idea of being done. My youngest is only nursing once a day, but I’ve found myself in tears many times wondering if this will be the last time I ever nurse a child! I have rationally thought about it and my head and my heart are at odds. It would be nice to one day be able to say, “Alright let’s go, everyone in the car” and to have everyone be able to get in the car and buckled up all by themselves. It would also be nice to be able to do things that are just harder to do when you have a baby. And of course, another child, means many, many other responsibilities, but I’m just not ready to be done! I have been asking God to please put us on the same page, which ever page that may be, and I know he will, but it hasn’t happened yet! There are days that are so crazy that I think to myself, “What’s my problem? I can’t even handle the kids I have, let alone adding another one in the mix,” however, there are also those days that go by so smoothly that another child wouldn’t be much more work.

I totally know how u feel. I’m gonna start weaning miles soon and it makes me sad but I know he’s growing up and that its time. He’s starting to fight it and wanna be more independent anyway. But I think I want more kids too but can’t decide when. Hubby and I both know we want four kids. I also fear having all my kids right away and then wanting more bc if I have them all now and close together then ill be done before I’m too old since I’m only 25 now. So I can’t decide what to do either…

the video had me bawling! 🙂 my kids are little and I feel your pain…i thought we would have about 10 but i don’t think we’re gonna go that far! I love them but we had them so close together that i don’t feel like i’ve gotten to catch my breath and ENJOY them to the extent i would like to (which is why the video made me so sad!) but they are beautiful and the idea of being “all done” is hard to finalize too!
Anyway, i wanted to thank you for the links to the “love and logic” resources… i’m checking them out now.
