We might start TTC this cycle. We don't intend to try really hard. Just sorta see what happens. I admit to being a little wishy-washy still. I'm really excited when I think about adding to our family, but I am a little nervous about going back to the baby stage and losing some of the personal freedom I've gained since the kids have gotten a little older. But the expanding the family love usually wins out.
I'm so excited for you! Good luck!!!!! I totally understand the whole baby stage thing. It is hard to go back, but it goes by so fast. How did you decide on the issue of #3? I can't decide if I want another one or not. I'm thinking that I do want another one, but come up with some stupid reasons for not having another one. I think about another child all the time.

Good luck! I agree that the baby stage is tough but it does go by so fast. And my third is soooo laid back and easy compared to the other two. He just goes with the flow! I hope you get a BFP soon!

Good luck! The baby phase goes quicker and quicker w/ each baby, and the 3rd just seems to slip effortlessly into the family, and you're so much of a pro by now, that it's really not a big deal at all.

Good luck and I know it will turn out to be a wonderful thing. I told you before I thought you would have 3. I 200% understand doing the whole baby thing again and giving up some of that freedom....well freedom I still go through this atleast once a week, but like you said the adding makes it all worth it.
ps Scott ended up goingto CO by himself and Izzy and I stayed here. He said it was gorgeous and the wedding was great. He ended up at the Ritz in Bachelors Gulch and that is were the wedding was. I was just not feeling well enought o go and I have a hard time letting go of the little bean, so she stayed home with me
In my typical wishy-washy way, I'm back to being nervous today!
It is going to be easier to have a newborn with older children, right? And easier to have just one, right? It was just such a rough few years for me with Kate and Jack.
Kristen I think it will be much easier haveing a newborn with older children for sure. However i should allow the moms who have already BTDT respond since technically I do not know yet.......I suspect Isabella will be a huge help. A little smother mother I am sure
Kim, I'm sorry we didn't get to meet up in Colorado. There is a chance I'll be in San Fran in August. Matt will be there for a conference. I can't decide if I should go with kids, without kids, or just stay home!
And when are we going to get a belly pic from you?!?
I feel like a giant moose this time around....so I have not been to excited to post some belly shots. I do promise to share the professional ones that will be done on June 1st. I can't wait to do those.
I will be happy if you bring the kids if you come....only because AugustI do not think I will be able to part with the new one for a spa day yet. As the time gets closer we can make plans if you decide to join him.......who knows, maybe you will canel due to morning sickness. Not hat I am am wishiong m/s on anyone......just hoping you will be PG
