So I just turned 44. I have a 26 year old, a 2.5 year old and a 10 month old. All girls. My husband is in the military so we live the typical military family life.

My recent two pregnancies I was high risk for my age and blood pressure. Had preeclampsia for both and a short cervix that required a stitch to keep closed.

All my girls are healthy thank god. My toddler is a terrible sleeper and eater. She’s also going through her terrible twos and jealousy with the new baby.

I have been tracking my cycle and ovulation since October. And I ovulate pretty regularly. I am considering having another child while I am still able. I’m actually pretty torn about it. I would love to try for a boy. I’d be happy with a girl as well but with my age am I pushing my luck? Should I just close that part of my life and focus on the blessings that I have ?

Part of me worries that I’ll regret not doing it Part of me thinks I’m crazy for even considering it as my girls are a handful!
