A girl and a boy 13 months apart. The first few years were HARD. Now they’re 3 and 4 and I couldn’t stop thinking about the third baby I had always wanted. Same feelings crept in…. are we done, how would the others feel, will I be too tired. We decided to try and see what happened and here we are expecting our third. If you can’t stop thinking about it you should go for it!

Lucy,
There is also something good about having them that close in age. They will always be at the same stage in life, you will be up to your knees in diapers for a while but then you will be done with them…. forever, and they’ll always have a playmate who is into the same things as they are!
We are at this weird stage right now. If we get pregnant soon, they will be 2.5-3 years apart. That’s the closest they can ever be and that’s starting to freak me out, too! But I just don’t feel ready yet, so if we do have a third I just have to accept that they’ll be a little further apart, which has its perks, too.
Thank you for sharing your situation! It make me feel good to know that there are others like me out there!

I can totally relate to your feelings… My husband and I always said 2 or 3, and after my second son was born I still did not feel DONE, despite him being the world’s worst sleeper for a year and having a lot of sibling rivalry issues between son #1 and #2, all of which was driving me crazy. We said we’d put the decision on the back burner and not even entertain the idea of a third until our youngest was 2 or 3. Then… I was totally surprised to learn I was pregnant when #2 was 15 months old! It was overwhelming because it’s changed the “plan” of our lives over the next few years, but with baby GIRL now due in a few months, I have such a feeling of completeness already and am glad fate intervened in this way. Although things will get even more crazy with 3 kids in a little over 4 years, when we look into the future we have the family we always imagined. Good luck with your decision, whichever you choose!

Gracielle,
Thank goodness I am not alone here! I have come to discover there are more out there like us than I originally thought and I have really enjoyed hearing other people’s thoughts and opinions.
Are you guys set on having four? That is what we originally thought we would have! We are so on the same boat here! And goodness, all of this is stressful! I just do not have a clear answer. 🙁 I want to be one of those people who just “knows.”
I too am so glad to have found you, thank you for stopping by to say hello!

My hubs wants 3 or 4, I have a daughter and a son (2 years apart), and all the things you said about diapers, travel, cherishing the second one a little more if you knew it was your last – are factors when trying to figure out if we should have 3. Seriously, everything you said runs through my mind every day! We were thinking of having the next one 4 years apart from my youngest, and then have one more 2 years after the third. You know, raise them in pairs. I’m still terribly undecided.
I’m so happy that you stopped by my blog and I stopped by yours. I’ll be following along to see what ends up happening!

Hilary,
Thank you so much for sharing your story. This is exactly the kind of thing I was referring to. KNOWING for certain when you are done. This is something I never felt when we found out we were pregnant with Cal, when we found out we were having a boy, when I delivered him, and maybe I felt it during some of those long, late nights, but nothing for certain. I am so happy for you guys in that you are about to complete your little family! That is very exciting and my goodness, you are so close! I wish you the absolute best of luck and can’t wait to hear how it all goes.
Again, thank you so much. I hope we find this peace at some point, too. 🙂

Your post was so interesting to me, and I feel compelled to compare my feelings on this, with the hopes that you will soon find comfort and resolution. As you know, our #2 is due any day now! (Due date is actually Dec. 12… You asked the other day on IG. So you and Zach could technically be bday twins! ;)) From the moment I got pregnant this second time around, I felt a sense of satisfaction and peace, knowing it was my (our) last. I know it in the deepest part of my soul. We were done even BEFORE we knew it was a boy; we wouldve been done and happy with two girls! We’ve already been to a vasectomy consultation and set a date (tmi? lol). My point is not to gloat to you about how well I sleep at night because of this sense of contentment that both Eddie and I have with our decision. No no, my point in sharing this is to tell you that you deserve to experience this feeling too. It WILL come, whether its after #3, or 4 (… or 5, Haha!) If you are feeling uncertain or confused, then in my very humble opinion, based off of personal experience, it’s a sign that you do want more, deep down. I am telling you that there IS such a thing as knowing 100%, and you will know it when you feel it. Until then, listen to your heart. Xoxo
Hilary

Christina,
Yes, I can see how starting “over” would be a little intimidating. But, you are starting a new chapter in your life and your older kids are going to cherish that little baby, even able to really help out due to the age difference. Congrats on the engagement, by the way!
