How many babies

I have 2 boys as well. Recently gave birth to my second boy in December. We’re on edge of trying for one more to get our baby girl but regardless of gender, we’re happy either way. But, we will see!

I think had we started earlier we’d consider a third.. but I’m very content with two. Life is manageable and we’re not outnumbered. I thought 0-1 transition was hardest, but I’ve had several friends share that 2-3 was challenging in the baby years. Ultimately I think it comes down to what you envision down the road ❤️ the tough years are short.. but I also don’t say that to dismiss fears bc they’re certainly valid! These kids be crazy lol

I always wanted 3. However I’m pregnant with my 16 month old and let me tell you I’ll be stopping after this baby. Pregnancy when you have another child is just brutal and I couldn’t do this a 3rd time.

@Shannon pregnancy with a toddler is not for the weak.. I had a two year old and lived for nap time every day 😮‍💨

@Tiffany I work full time so don’t even get a nap and then if he refuses to go to his bed I just want to cry lol x

@Shannon ugh I’m so sorry. I also worked but not full time.. definitely changes the dynamics when you can’t rest adequately

I don’t think there is a ‘perfect’ number. I always wanted a big family but I have 2 boys and I’m done. I suffer recurrent loss and really put my body through it trying for our second. Though I would absolutely love to try for another I just can’t put my body or my mental health through that again. I also know I wouldn’t be able to give my 2 boys what I can now - not just money wise but attention too. I think for me it’s the idea of more children and what I dreamed my future would look like but when I sit and really think about it I realise I’m actually quite happy with not having more children.
