Third baby???

Question

Okay I know this is dumb to make a poll for this but I'm so divided. I have gotten rid of everything "baby". I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old and I'm finally getting some "me" time back. I'm happy to have my body back, and my career. No more diapers. Almost done with daycare. No more bottles or sterilizing. My issue is that in the back of my mind I want another. But to have to buy all that stuff again (shower is out of the question) like boots, shoes, snowsuits, sleepers, bottles, crib.....geeze the list goes on forever. It's overwhelming. Am I crazy? I think I am lol. What do I do? If I do have another one I'll be so overwhelmed and feel bad because I won't have as much time with my other two and financially would be tight. But if I don't, I worry I'll regret it. It's almost like a lose/lose. What do I do!!!??😩

Answer

Do it. I thought we were done too, kids are 5 and 7 now. We debated for a while and decided to go for it, just had my third child and we all couldn't be more happy. It's amazing. I "feel done" now. 😀

Answer

Maybe wait another year or two and slowly/secretly start collecting all those items again😁 if you want more babies, that's your choice. You'd regret not having more if that's something you really want. But maybe just start collecting for a while before you even decide to get pregnant so when you do you don't have to rush for 9 months finding everything and being tight on money!

Answer

I wouldn’t say it’s a lose/lose situation. I would says it’s a win/win. If you stick with the two kids you’ll be happy with your me time and the two children you have. If you chose to have a third you’ll be happy that you did as well and you will look back and think...why did I ever worry?. What ever decision that you make is never a wrong decision. It’s the best decision you made at that time for yourself. Give yourself another year if you still feel that way your not done. 
I hear from lots of women who say you know when you are done. You sound like you are not. Best of luck to you!

Answer

I literally could have written this post! 2 and 4 year olds and finally life back and feeling the pull to have just one more. I finally asked my husband about it and he said he thought I was done but he’d love another. I think we are 70% sure we will go for it. It seems so illogical though.
Also, this sounds silly but when I went to the midwife to confirm my 2nd pregnancy she asked if this was “it” for us. I laughed and said “I think so?” And she VERY confidently said, “oh this is definitely not your last if you’re not sure. Your heart knows you want more.” I thought she was CRAZY.
