[quote=Anonymous]This is OP - whew, did this thread go off the rails!

DH and I make a good HHI by normal people standards (~$350k) and live in a MCOL city in “flyover country,” but I’m a DC native and understand the anxiety expressed here.  We aren’t rolling in dough but are diligent and save for retirement and our kids college, while also paying off our own student loans - something I want our kids to avoid.  DH is pretty well tapped out in his earning potential, but I could end up making quite a bit more.  Even if I don’t - although there’s no reason to think I wouldn’t - we would be fine.

I wasn’t looking for sympathy or advice, 
just perspective.  Going from 2 to 3 has been the toughest transition so far - being outnumbered is serious business - but I *love* my little gaggle and how much they love each other.  It felt a little unequal with the older kids having their own bond and the now-toddler kind of being an odd man out, so I look forward to now having the “bigs” and the “littles.”

I know *for sure* that this is our last baby so am really looking to relish this pregnancy and each stage/phase.  Thanks to all of you with words of support and encouragement!  [/quote]
