TTC - 1st topic for me - I'm new!

I'm thinking this is the right topic to post this in. Anywho...
I'm 23, married for almost 5 years and have two boys, ages 3 and 4. They're perfect. Hubby and I have a great relationship, despite the typical ups and downs that happens in every marriage.
THE PROBLEM: He started his DREAM JOB.. He's a professional tattooist and is fabulous at it. His hours causes him to be gone from the house from 11-11:30a to 10p - 4:30a SIX days a week.
I want another child, and we've discussed that I'm pretty much going to be a "single mom" in regards to him being gone so much and not being able/expected to help much. I'm okay with that, although I'd rather have him around more often.. still I want to continue. I have parents and in-laws that occasionally bicker over who gets to watch our kids just because they want to, so I'm not going to be completely alone, yet I do not plan to abuse this privelage.
MY CONCERN: Hubby does not have any feelings about my wanting to become pregnant. Just "Do whatever you want.." I've yet to hear an excited/happy tone or word about the thought of a new baby in our lives.
QUESTION: In your opinion, should I continue with our/MY plans?

If you're alright with being a single mother, as you put it, then I say yes, do what makes you happy.

How did your husband react to your other children being conceived? Were they planned? If so maybe he isn't one to show emotion until they get here.

He was VERY happy about our two boys. The first was planned, the second happened in the middle of a change of BC and conception happened roughly 2 months after the 1st's birth.
So, this is obviously a cause of concern for me. My thoughts are along the lines of ... "If I go ahead with the plans will he feel the same towards the new arrival as the others..?"

You know him better than any of us obviously, so if you are feeling hesistant, and can't get a straight heartfelt answer from him I might say wait a little bit longer. Maybe he's feeling guilty because he can't be there with you and the the "new baby" but still wants you to have a baby b/c he knows you want one... did you follow me lol?

I think you're right.. I haven't really thought about it from his viewpoint, that would be hard on him =<. He's the type of guy who will give up even his dream job for us, but I do not want him doing that. We are/were? planning to ttc in a month or two. Maybe I'm just not giving myself enough time to think things through clearly.

<3 Thanks for the replies.

Np I'm sure everything will work out for you guys. How old are you boys?

They are three and four, born in the same month and a little less than a year apart. I think they're at a good age to have another brother.. or maybe a sister! They're angels, they love to help around the house and like the idea of having a little one to play with, esp. the youngest.

Ya sounds like it would be a great time to have a little girl!! Well I hope whatever you decide everything goes well.
