Oh [name_f]Frances[/name_f], that must have been really hard. I know I am going to cry my eyes out when DH finally schedules his vasectomy, whether it is after [name_m]Cato[/name_m] or after a potential third baby. I know I am pushing my luck wishing for a third - I didn’t ask him if he’d changed his mind about a V so he may have just been talking hypothetically. I am pretty young for a mum of 2 (turning 27 this month) but having had several miscarriages and an early stillbirth as well as bad SPD my last pregnancy, we would still have to consider strongly the pros and cons of trying for a third baby. Not to mention the financial considerations… Travel has always been a big part of our life but I know we would miss out on a lot of expat positions if we were a family of five.
Anyway, [name_m]Cato[/name_m] might still be our last baby so I am trying to act is if he is. I hear you on the bittersweet - I hate thinking “this may be the last time that x happens” but then I remind myself I am so lucky to have this second baby and what a gift to our family he is. [name_m]How[/name_m] is [name_m]Hal[/name_m] adjusting to being a big brother? xx
