[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - any updates 6 months later? I’m the same boat - I’m 41 with a 4yo and 2yo. For a multitude of reasons we want to make the decision within the next few months. Our hearts say yes (we always wanted a biggish family and have the love and resources to give) but our brains say no. Finances aren’t a pressing concern but bandwidth, time and attention and logistics are. Although I work from home and have flexibility, my husband travels for work full time and we do not have family to help. While I know the first few years will be challenging from a physical perspective, I’m trying to look down the road 8 years when the demands shift and they’re all in school and activities. The thought of never feeling like I’m running around like a chicken with my head cut off is daunting![/quote]

Op here! No updates six months later. Still agonizing. Our first has some special learning needs and I’m really trying to get a grasp on how we will accommodate him, and make sure our second child gets adequate attention as well, before adding another baby into the mix. I’m trying to also decide within a few months.

Still torn on the financial piece and whether I can go through delivery, postpartum and infancy once more. [/quote]
