Yes, it’s yet another thread about having a third baby. Life is so simple with 2 - we have DD 3.7 and DS 1.7. Both are super little human beings. We are coming out of the baby stage - DS has mysteriously decided to potty train himself (!) and we are nappy free, both are sleeping through the night etc. I have a fairly full on career and feel like I’m coming out of the thick end of 4 years of pregnancy/baby/breastfeeding/hormone haze. We should draw a line, enjoy it all and move on with our two.
BUT. The idea of giving away all the baby stuff is bringing me out in hives. Not because I like babies (I don’t particularly, certainly didn’t enjoy the 0-1 stage with either of mine), but because I think of another little one and think that perhaps we do want one. That we can just power through another 2 years of disrupted sleep, I can physically get through one more pregnancy, one more CS, one more bout of nursing and physical recovery.
(Financial stuff is irrelevant btw, we’re comfortable and can def afford 3. We would need to redo the house at some point to create an extra bedroom but we can afford it, it’s more a logistical problem and I assume we have a few years where two of them could comfortably share.)
How on earth do I sort this out? I’m 38 so time not on my side for a third. First two were both conceived super easily but no guarantees etc.
