Although I love babies I am really over the baby lust. I will admit at times I miss holding an infant but I figure I can wait until I have grandchildren and spoil them rotten lol. I hope I get a granddaughter someday, I always wanted a girl but God gave me all boys. I am too old for that stuff anyway. I am pushing 40 (38) so if I did have a baby I would be nearly 60 before they were out of highschool YIKES! :shock: I dont have the energy to chase another two yr old, they would wear me out lol. I do miss it sometimes when the boys were little but then again, I dont think I could do it all again. 4 months of no sleep while OS had collic, midnight car rides to no where to settle him down, the terrible twos and threes... It wears me out just thinking about it. I am not sure if I am tuff enough to go through something like that again. Plus theres that whole pregnancy thing, I dont do pregnancy well, or delivery. Usually they have to keep me on a pretty short leash, bedrest, etc for most of the pregnancy because of all the health problems I have.
Hi to you too Deena!! Am I alone in thinking I will never feel done? I am 35, will be 36 the end of this month and I just cant begin to think of never having another. Maybe its in my genes - my grandmother was 46 when she had her last!!
Nah, you'll feel done eventually. My husband and I are both last kids, so we're in the make sure you're done camp. I always thought we'd have a lot of kids, but so far I'm only feeling that there is one more for us, and that will make three. Of course infertility and adoption has taken a toll and we're ready to close this family building chapter and focus on the raising and enjoying. I keep getting baby hungry and then I start taking fertility stuff, feel sick, and change my mind. I do think one is coming soon though, so I'm tolerating the meds... for now.
We have 4 my oldest will be 12 my youngest 5. Sometimes I miss having a baby in the house but then I remember the late night feedings and all the extra time it takes to get out of the house just for a trip to the grocery store. You know, all the "stuff" you have to lug around in a diaper bag??? I don't miss that at all. My sister will be having her baby in a few weeks. I figure that I can use my nephew to get my baby fix. But I do miss the pregnancy. I LOVED being pregnant.
Well, my dh said 4 and I am on my 4th...so good luck to ya! If I were younger and some financial issues in order I would love to have five. However, I think I would adopt as I HATE being pregnant. LOL. God blessed me with easy pregnancies but I still don't like it. lol. Even this last one that is harder than the others is still pretty much par for the course and I still wouldn't want to do this again. Always amazes me when women are willing to keep having babies after difficult pregnancies and labors. Guess I am just a whimp. lol.
I'm figuring that, since dh is convinced that our next pregnancy WILL be our last, and we all know that God has a great sense of humor... we'll end up with twins. Dontcha think?
I'm 43 and I still get baby lust. I still ovulate and the women in my family have had kids into their late 40s. DH and I have discussed it and we'd both like to try for a third child. I have left it in God's hands.... I had children late in life. Having my first son at age 34 and my second at age 40.
I love this thread. Some days, I have major baby fever, other days, I want to give away the two I already have. (LOL My kids are my LIFE, so I hope the humor isn't lost on anyone. ;-P) My husband is 90% sure 2 is good, I"m about 70% sure. But I just can't imagine not holding another newborn..........I'll be 30 in August so I feel like my clock is ticking. I have a Paragard IUD, so a surprise pregnancy isn't likely. Guess if God intends for us to have another, we will. BTW, Cara is how I've always seen that name spelled. If we have another, a girl will be Olivia Noelle, and a boy Mason John. I love baby names!
I would've named my next girl Kelsee Rose or Kelsee Anne. If God were to drop a little girl in our laps now, I couldn't name her that, though, cuz my son named his cat Kelsee! I also like the name Annika Noelle or Rose. I like the middle name Rose because someone I greatly admire has the middle name Rose.
PRAYING, PRAYING, PRAYING! Let's all pray for twin GIRLS for DaLynn! I've already started DaLynn, so get ready!!!
Yes, well, careful with your praying. Pray first that dh will send me to go have this IUD removed. LOL Pregnancy possible, but not probable and not safe with it! More and more the past few weeks, though, my heart longs....
If God blessed us with a baby girl, we both agreed with the name Makaylah Elise. DH wants a girl the next time, he has 4 sons. Two from his first wife and two from me.
Deena, My Dd Elle is actually named Noelle. And my Dh Megan is Megan Rose - Rose after someone very important to me. I'll take twins too!! LOL Dh says we're done after one more so I told him I hope its twins because I wanted two more!!!
I took a EPT test today, it's positive. I had taken one a week ago and I knew it was too early to tell but lately I have been feeling nausea off and on so I figured we test again... I am seeing my OB/GYN this coming week.
DH was speechless He lookes liek that smiley you posted Dalynn. He is overjoyed! I'm nervous and the only thought in my mind is how will I start our new homeschool year in January?
