Congratulations - hope it's all going well. My only answer is to ask whether you really need to decide right now. Give yourself a bit of a break, not least as your body's taken a real pasting in the past few years, with constant pregnancies/?bf-ing. Concentrate on your lovely dcs now for a bit and try not to think about the future yet.

We had three in three years and truth be told I have lost 12 months of all their lives. It wasn't till the youngest of the three was one I started to feel like it came together. Not PND, just so flipping busy!!

Anyway we now have number 4 who arrived almost 3.5 years after number three. And it's great - I have time to spend with her!
