We have two children, DS is 6 (7 next week) and DD is 5 in April. We have always said we would like to have 3 children in total. We also said number 3 after DS starts school. Neither of our children have been planned planned, both wanted and the result of not being strictly careful, aka a few missed pills. The idea (no offence) of putting a label on it and saying we're trying makes the whole thing feel a bit clinical to me (I have a phobia of anything medical).
Having said that, since DS has started school there has always been a reason as to why not now, first off we emigrated in July 2014, adjusting, hubby being out of work (not is fault I might add) not to mention the snide remarks I get from my mother (who lives in a flat under house) about we better not have any more.
My concerns are, that there will be too bigger age gap, that one of the children will have to share their bedroom (even for a short period while we do some work on the house), that having one of each we risk making one or even both feel isolated.
Looking for any words of wisdom.
