Quoting misanthrope:" I still have awful baby fever. I'm hoping we can start TTC some time in 2013. We are both getting older (I'm 32, So is 40). So I don't want to wait much longer."


Urgh I've got too much time on my hands, I mean I'm only 23 with two kids Im scared that if I have another one ill end up with like 6 by the time im 40 haha.

Quoting Lauren ∆:" I honestly think the main concern I have is if I have one more then two of the kids will have to share a room, I dont know why it bothers me so much."

I'm the same way.

This is another reason why SO compromised with 4.
The house we're in has 5 bedrooms.
I don't want my kids to have to share. Especially when they get into their teen years and want some space of their own.

Ya it bothers me too! I don't want them to have to share. At least not when they are like 11+. Especially if number 3 is a girl, because then she would probably share with her sister, who will be 6-7 years older than her by then. idk. The house we moved to know is only 3 rooms, which is perfect now. And I'm sure we could find a house with 4 or at least one with an office we can use as a bedroom, idk though. But I think I want three because I would loveeeee for DD to have a sister, or for DS to have a brother.

Quoting [♥]Mrs. Morgan:" <blockquote><b>Quoting Lauren ∆:</b>" I always wanted one, then two and now ... [snip!] ... age gap?"</blockquote> Dd will be 5 a few weeks after this one is born. Not terribly bad, but I wanted them close."

Thats a nice age gap i think. Cause you dont have two in diapers, your eldest will be in school so you have one on one time with the baby, your eldest isnt as demanding, etc...
Theres a 3 year age gap between mine I love it.

Very sensible of you. 4 seems like a lot of kids to me lol!

I think if it was up to my So we would have like 6 kids lol. But I want some free time some day! At this rate SO will be in his mid 60's by the time the last kid is done with college, and that's if they don't go to grad school.

Quoting KNZ.:" aww i could totally see why it's hitting you! and exactly, i agree with everything you said   this ... [snip!] ... The only real difference is more kiddos to be taking care of when you've got killer morning sickness/fatigue 'n such  "

Good to hear everythings going well!

My past pregnancies have been perfect, just a bit of heartburn and sickness, enough to know I was pregnant, but nothing other than that, and the their births were so amazing and easyish that it makes me yearn to do it again!

My last pregnancy seemed to fly so yeah I can imagine the third would go even quicker!

Yeah, I had my own room, I couldnt imagine being a teen and having to share, seems like a recipe for disaster!

Yeah I know what you mean, if it was a boy then the age gap would be the same as your daughter, and it seems almost unfair to put a toddler in with a 6 year old.
Our house is bought and paid for, and as we're mortgage free I really want to stay that way if possible! I guess we could move if I get the job I went for today...

I can dream lol.

I was totally spoiled. I never shared a room. I had huge rooms too.
DH says the kids will get over it, he was 1 of 5 so he shared a room for awhile. But since he was the youngest he didn't have to share when he was a teen since 3 had moved out by then.

I feel ya on that! That would suck to have to move and have a mortgage on top of another mouth to feed  
We just moved states so we are renting a house right now until we figure out where to live. When we look I'm going to pretend I have 3 kids already hahaha
