Tonight's the night we've scheduled a 'sit-down' to try and come to a solution about having a third child.
The background to me wanting a third child is undeniably that I would like to try for a girl. I would love a daughter.
However, the reality of wanting a third child is my desire to move on with our lives. My need to have a 3rd baby won?t go away. 5-10 years down the line I'm still going to be thinking about having a 3rd baby (I'll be too old by then) I spend most my waking hours now thinking about a 3rd baby.
Whatever the sex of baby no 3, my honest feeling would be of utter joy that my life was complete and that our lives would move on as a family. (I would never contemplate more than 3).
My husband doesn't want any more children. He rightfully thinks we are lucky with our lot and thinks two is a manageable number.
I was poised to tonight try and talk/railroad him into having a No.3 But this morning I'm wondering whether I'm right to fight for this or am I being too selfish to try and push him into something this important. Has anyone been through this? What was the outcome?
