My dh and I have 2 beautiful children and have been discussing having another soon. Well, we initially were preventing only because we felt we could not support another one, however now dh has a much better job and we have health insurance. We have never liked the idea of birth control, feels like it is trying to go against God's will. However, we justified it by thinking that we were being responsible because we could not afford another. Here's my issue, we are going to a friend's wedding on a cruise in August, and we were holding off on ttc til then so I could have a drink or 2 (its going to be our first adult only vacation since having our kids). But then I keep thinking of reasons to hold off longer, like wanting to celebrate my mom's 70th birthday next spring on a cruise? She has been dying to and since it's a major birthday, my Dad might agree to go. I can't do that if I am heavily pregnant. Am I just being selfish? Should I just leave it in God's hands? Technically, there is no guarantee I will get pregnant right away. But with my first two I got pregnant on my second cycle of ttc (I was 24 and 28). Now I am 30 so I don't know if it will be as easy.
