Should We, Or Shouldn't We?
Well, I'll start off by saying that I'm head over heals in love with my 3 children and feel so thankful and blessed to have all of them in my life. They mean absolutely everything to me and are everything I never knew I wanted from life... even on the bad days LoL. I remember thinking a few years back "how will I ever know when I'm finished having children?" because I love being a mommy so much. I feel like Andy and I came to the conclusion before we were even pregnant with Seth that we'd be 3 and done. It has nothing to do with the fact that we're having a boy and "our family is complete now". I honestly was kinda hoping for another girl because it's what I know and love but am very thankful to have the experience of raising a son so it has nothing to do with "we now have both genders so we can stop". Financially I think we know these are the breaks. I want to give them everything I feel they deserve. I want to live comfortably and not feel like we have to strain ourselves to do fun things as a family of 5+. I'm ready to get my body back (as much as I can!) and to sleep through the night. We plan on home schooling our children and I want to be able to give them the best education possible (can get expensive too) and to have more than 3, I dunno, I think it'd get a little crazy with so many kids in all different grades. I'm ready to stop having babies and raise the ones I have. With that said, Andy and I feel pretty confident that he'll be getting the big vasectomy in the near future. I think my heart will always want more children for obvious reasons, you love them, but emotionally and financially, we just feel done. We'll be praying about this and making sure this is what the Lord wants for us as babies are blessings and if we were meant to have more, great! Anyway, please pray that we make the best decision for our family :)
