[quote=Anonymous]After my second was born I just didn’t feel done. DH was on the fence. I think he’d have been happy with 2. But we talked about it and I told him really firmly that I wouldn’t resent him if he wanted to stop by we needed to make a decision and it he wasn’t fully enthusiastically onboard than I didn’t want to have #3. We had her and she’s a delight but it is for sure harder. We are greeting every new exciting departure of a phase forever with glee (bye bye bottles!!) and have zero temptation to go for 4. I had my tubes confidently tied during the c section.

As for the what if’s I have to admit that has never resonated with me. And it’s not because I don’t think having a child with special needs or a disability is not extraordinarily challenging. But I mean, basically everything I do in life is a what if. What if the plane crashes, what if I hit my head on the diving board, what if a rip tide sweeps me out, what if a drunk driver crashes into me, what if I get cancer tomorrow? We aren’t guaranteed anything, have to just muddle through the best we can. So I don’t think about what if’s that often, they will happen or they won’t, I’ll just keep meeting them as they come.[/quote]
