Planning for baby #3! ๐ถ๐ผ
Omg ladies! I'm seriously so happy right now! I could just cry tears of joy!
So I've been talking to my SO about planning for baby #3 for a few months now, but he always says he doesn't want to have anymore. It always made me so sad. Fnancially, we would be fine, but he doesn't want to have to deal with another baby, the sleepless nights, the stages, less alone time, the stress and the worry for caring for another human being, which I totally get, but to me, it's 1000000% worth it, and I've always wanted a big family!
Plus, I've always cared for Ellie and my oldest when they got difficult and fussy. He does too sometimes (he's really great and attentive with our girls!) just not as much as me since he works full time doing hard labor while I'm a SAHM. It's the best job in the world to me, and I feel so blessed to have him and that he works so hard, so I can stay home and care for our children. So I feel like he shouldn't have to attend to them as much as I should. Also, Ellie is easier soothed by me since she's so used to being with mommy, and I'm more patient with her anyway.
This time I definitely want them to be closer in age. Kassie and Ellie are nearly 6 years apart(5yrs & 10 months) and I didn't want to have to wait for him to change his mind years down the road again. So whenever Ellie does something super cute I say, "See! How could you not want another one?" And his face goes soft and he just admires her ๐ฅฐ
Well, it must've worked, because he just called me on his way to his shop and out of nowhere he says, "Another baby wouldn't be so bad." YOU GUYS!!! I was NOT expecting him to say that AT ALL! I had the biggest smile on my face and told him, "Awe, you're gonna make me cry." I literally felt a lump in my throat and started to tear up, because I was so happy! We'll probably start trying sometime next year. I can't wait to see what the future holds! It's crazy to think of Ellie as a big sister โบ
Btw this is so me ๐คฃ I immediately thought of this meme when I started typing this!
