Well, I always thought I would have more than 2 kids. After Beth was born I definitely knew I wanted another and at this point pp with her, I was just beside myself with baby lust.

I just don't have that at all now. And if I'm being honest, I don't enjoy having 2. It's just too hard and I just think if I had another, it would be ten times worse.

We're not going to do anything permanent bc-wise but I'm 95% sure I'm done. Feel sad about that, and funnily enough, HG isn't really the reason.

Love Natalie, x

Dh and I wanted 2-3 kids before we got married and then when we had Lukas I always thought 2 would be more than enough to keep me busy. Katey is super easy right now so maybe when she gets bigger and stops being so perfect I'll be content with the two just like you.

You know, it could just be the stage that you are at with the two that makes it unenjoyable. You might find that when Bethy stops keeping you so busy and the two start to play together that you quite enjoy the two. Here's hoping...

Anyway, just wanted to say I understand and I am feeling sad with you.

Sometimes what we expect and what we experience is completely different.

Big hugs to you.

It is hard to balance it out. I am pretty overwhelmed with mine right now. I could not imagine handling more kids, even though I know people do it. I don't think I could.

Suzanne said it perfectly.

Dh and I keep having this conversation. He thinks anyone who has more than 2 is nuts. But, I gently reminded him that most people dont add the 3rd child in at this exact moment (when we have a 3 year old and 10 nearly 10 month old). Most people wait a few more years

Nope... coudnt deal with another one right now if I even had the choice. Im content with 2 at this moment. Life is lively enough right now
