I'm still working on number 3,but I'm the oldest of 9 kids. My mom always said that after 4 you don't even notice the extra work and older kids help with younger kids. I know the last part is true at least lol!

I am about to have baby # 4. I am not thrilled. I really wanted to go back to work but I am not sure I can find a job that will pay enough to cover the cost of 2 kids in daycare. It will be about $400 every two weeks. Right now I am only finding jobs that would pay about $650 every two weeks. Not sure it would really be worth it to have my baby in daycare full time for an extra $500 a month. But I know I don't want to sit at home anymore....

I had three from a previous marriage and married a younger man who is incredible with children but didn't have any of his own. I'm 8 weeks with baby number 4 and I can say that I'm terrified. My youngest is 10 years old so it's restarting from scratch, everything changed in the last 10 years. I worked really hard to have my career and I'm scared I'll lose it all. I lost over 150lbs since having my last child and my body is already changing in ways I don't like. I'm thrilled to be pregnant and have dreamt of the moment he holds his own baby for the first time, but it's so hard not to think about everything your sacrificing and giving up too.
