Am I done?

Question

I found out recently that i was getting booked in for my bilateral salpingectomy and i was so happy. I was done having kids. I feel completely fulfilled and happy with the two kids I do have. But my surgery is now 2 weeks away and I'm starting to feel sad. I'll never be able to give birth again. I'll never be able to wait until birth to know the gender, found out with my previouspregnancies before birth. I'll never be able to have a home birth. These are things I want to experience that  I will no longer be able to. But I also don't want anymore children. I'm very conflicted by my feelings right now

Answer

I’m done after this baby (3rd child). I know I will get baby fever again. I know I’ll miss the experience of having a newborn and giving birth. It’s something that we are blessed to have experienced. BUT that doesn’t mean that having more kids is what’s best for us or for our families. One of our hard jobs as parents is to look at the bigger picture and decide what is best for everyone. So while it is sad that we are done after 3, we also know that it is best for us and our kids that we stick with the three we have 💚

Answer

I’ve always been told to imagine your family gathered around the dinner table for holidays 30 years from now. Do you see your family as complete with just the two? Or no? 
For me, we have 2 currently and we both want at least 2-3 more but perhaps even more than that. My husband said 7 and I was like ummmm 😂 we will see. Lol. But we know our family isn’t complete!! That said, I have to space them out tho. My kids are high needs and don’t sleep. We are both worn out lol. Idk if that helps but it definitely helped me!!
