we were actually just talking about this the other night. and the answer was yah no way no how. maybe in like 5 years we'd consider adopting an older child though. We both feel like there are so many children out there who need homes that get skipped over because they aren't infants that we want to do something for someone who might be a little older but still needs a loving family. we'll see though....
That is amazing. I worked with a foster child and when being assigned, most people want to work with the infants or "cute" little kiddos. I wanted a teenager because those are the age group that needs mentorship the most as they are about to emancipate. Good for you and littleredfish!

Nope. We're done. I mean, I want the chance for a VBAC and a non-invasive pregnancy, and another shot at BFing. I LOVED being pregnant, even with twins. But these two are so amazingly wonderful, and "shoulda, coulda, woulda" isn't a good reason to have another kid. So no. But I do miss being pregnant (which someone told me when I was 12 weeks and I thought she was cray). If we really feel like expanding our family later, I'd like to look into foster/adoption, but not until the twins are in middle school.

I miss being pregnant too. It's weird because I had terrible MS, had PGAL anxiety the whole damn time, was swollen, in pain and required daily shots.....but apparently I miss it?? It's so true how the female mind blocks the bad stuff out.

My kids are a little more than three years apart and I love the age gap. DD can do a lot of things independently and she will be a great baby sitter down the road. If we did have a third, probably want the same age gap.
I don't think it's pregnancy per say, that I miss. More like I miss the excitement and anticipation and fantasy of what's coming. Outside babies are a little too real, lol.
We're not TTC because I haven't had my first pp period yet but we're not preventing either. We want a sibling for A and I'm going to be 37 soon so we don't want to wait around too long. Plus my mom got pregnant with my sister when I was only 6 months old and it was awesome growing up with her. So I think it would be just fine (scary, but fine) I we got pregnant again any time now.
DH and I talked baby #4 the other day. The plan has always been to start trying at a year but bc of timing with our next move we either need to start earlier or later. I would rather start earlier so I could have the baby here with the same midwife group.

I have a friend who conceived at 6 weeks PP after having twins. After that second pregnancy, she conceived again at 3 months.
I can't even imagine what her household is like.
Considering she had her fifth a month before I had L, it's always loud and crazy. She rocks it though. Like a super mom! Her H doesn't help at all at night and her 2 yo still wakes multiple times a night along with her 7 month old.
Hi ladies!! It has been awhile. Trying to catch up on some of you. I think of many of you often!
On topic: we are done having kids now, but since H hasn't had his "procedure" yet, I'm not getting rid of anything baby until we know for sure. LOL
Haha! Hi! At first glance I though your gif was waving "me, me!" until I read the post. I try to catch up when I can too because my visits are few and far between here. We are done, but my heart wants more, so maybe fostering when my two are older?

Every time this thread comes to the top, I think, "wow someone is announcing a pregnancy!!" I feel like by 6 months on my other board, there were several....

Too many dramatic babies on this board we're all exhausted and traumatized LOL
No more babies for me. I never wanted more than two. And I cannot imagine a high risk pregnancy, daily shots and routine cervical checks with two kids in tow. And I cannot risk another NICU stay. Splitting time between my kids almost killed me.
We have discussed adoption of a toddler/preschooler once Allie is a little older.
First AF is here!! Most of me is annoyed but a little part of me is like ooooo now I can obsess about cycles again, lol. I can't get either of my kids to sleep, so I must be delirious.
