And even if your child isn't 100% healthy, you will still love him/her with all your heart. Trust me. I learned this lesson with #4. He is simply amazing and perfect just the way he was created. I can't imagine not having him in my life!Lexie Loo, Lily, Liam & Dylan Toohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12236045431105674872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635077151130554932.post-2509339924738872402013-11-26T22:24:38.166-05:002013-11-26T22:24:38.166-05:00I could literally copy and paste this post.

My husband and I were discussing his vasectomy appointment! A couple weeks later I found out I was pregnant!!! So here we are - expecting baby #3 in January. It was unexpected but I just cannot imagine not having a third baby now. Yes, I'm terrified that something will go wrong and our whole dynamic will be thrown off. But mostly I'm just excited and trusting God that He put this blessing in our lives for a BIG reason :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635077151130554932.post-80504893000123797272013-11-26T14:36:43.420-05:002013-11-26T14:36:43.420-05:008.1.13 i was in labor for my first time! hahaha. ...8.1.13 i was in labor for my first time! hahaha. <br />you surely won't regret 3 when you are ready. i don't think so. <br />if anyone can do it, its you becky!

You will never look back and wish you didn't have that 3rd kid. You could possibly look back and wish that you would have had #3. Make sense?

We joke that we want to have back to back babies now, but truth is we won't know if we can do it until we are really settled in with her. It's good that you didn't "jump into the idea of 3" and that its been 3 months since it was first brought up.

Our twins are going to be 2 in a few weeks and we have started the talk about adding a 3rd....we've always said we wanted 3-4 kids but after getting hit with a double whammy when going for baby #1 we've been saying 3 and done. I'm thinking go ahead and start trying so that we don't get too far out of "baby" stage and re think the whole thing but the Hubby wants to wait a little bit....I just feel like the more time in between the harder it will be to go back. Plus starting to get major baby fever! :) I think 3's a good number!

It makes me worry cause we go back and forth doesn't mean we shouldn't have baby #2? I'm still debating it ugh when will we just know I want that aha moment! Should we wash between their toes? I don't believe I do, I wonder if I should start...

I wanted to wait till the two girls were a bit older and both were potty trained and so forth. I felt like life with 2 was like you said a little chaotic at times. Out of nowhere I felt pregnant and we weren't trying and had a "plan" or so we thought. Our third baby came a couple years earlier than planned. But I wouldn't have changed it. Honestly, Going from 2-3 is not much of a difference. :) Now I can say I understand completely how you feel right now. We have been having many sit down talks about a 4th. People call of crazy but we have THREE GIRLS and we want a BOY.... :) But I am just not sure. <br /><br />Kaitlyn. <br />Kaitlyn Hoffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10910461574025544559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635077151130554932.post-7688020324062186572013-11-26T09:37:47.033-05:002013-11-26T09:37:47.033-05:00We have always said 2 is our number.

Now that we have one, and she's nearing two and calming down a little, we entertain the idea of expanding that number... and we just have one at this time!

You are so brave to write about the honest struggles of being a mother with a crazy work schedule, and whether or not you KNOW if you're ready for another. I love your honesty. You're the best momma to those children though and baby #3 would be so lucky to have a family as loving as yours!Kayla MKOYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15816303137102382714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635077151130554932.post-78879622284026433502013-11-26T09:06:27.762-05:002013-11-26T09:06:27.762-05:00Oh I totally relate.

I don't work on top of it but the husband is always gone and I can totally feel ya on the body taking a beating. I have all these aches and pains and am constantly tired and I know it's from lack of sleep, stress and all that fun stuff. As fun as my kids are and I wouldn't change my life for the world I don't know if I do want to start all over again. Plus my two are pretty amazing. I'm afraid number 3 would always be compared to the older two!Katie Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624218149461236252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635077151130554932.post-40679175697051151082013-11-26T08:52:59.909-05:002013-11-26T08:52:59.909-05:00Can I just copy/paste this post on my blog?

The chaos will surely become a bit calmer soon, no diapers, more lazy cuddles do I really want to start over again? Yes. I do, but when???? I think for me it's just something we have to do and not think about too much, that sounds wrong when planning a child but if I really think too much it won't happen. <br /><br />And the healthy kid thing too. Surely I can't be fortunate enough to have a 3rd perfectly healthy baby. That's a scary thought too.Tracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00117455861949834449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635077151130554932.post-30216472333952766052013-11-26T07:39:19.089-05:002013-11-26T07:39:19.089-05:00HI there!

I should be telling this to myself, I know. I've learned my lesson now, and I'm learning it the hard way... and I am regretting why we waited tooooo long, way to long... now we're trying but to no good.
