Second thoughts of 3rd!?!? Please help!

Question

I have always wanted 3 or 4 kids. My husband was happy with 2. Dd will be 5 in sept ds will be 2 in sept. I had finally convinced dog for a 3rd so removed iud in June and ttc. However now that I and not on bc, and recently started being home 5 days a week with both kids I am so overwhelmed and I know I want more But i am so worried about being pregnant and having a Nb bc my son is kinda wild and so much harder than my 1st. Anyone else been thru this and can give me advice or ease my mind!!!?? I'm so torn I want them 2 1/2 -3 years apart but not sure if I should wait a bit longer?

Answer

I am currently going through a similar dilemma. Except I am 30 weeks along with #3 and the pregnancy has been filled with anxiety from almost Day 1. Of course we are sooo excited, don't get me wrong. But the timing wasn't exactly planned. We bought our house and while we were waiting to close we found out we were pregnant, so the timing and finances were just all off. We have a 4 year old, will be 5 in December, a 16 month old, both boys and now pregnant with a little girl.  We are scared about a lot but we have faith that it's all happening for a reason. It's so overwhelming I have to cry a lot, but I know I can handle it and I'm sure you can too! Mamas are tough. We figured things will get a little better once our oldest starts school in September things won't be as hectic and hard on me. It's really about how you truly feel in your heart. I would have preferred to wait but sometimes there's a better plan out there for us. And I mean are we really ever ready? You're not alone!
