I have a Tortalini recipe to die for. I’ll have to do a post. I’d love to try your leek soup – but I can’t call it that- the boys would balk! I think having more children is sometimes a heart decision. In 20 years, will you regret not having another? There’s a six year age difference between my first and second. His brothers added so much to his life – and to ours. However, with each son, it was like holding open a screen door and watching each child come in – and then you were waiting because someone was missing. However, after the last one – the door happily closed. Best of luck on your big decision. Thanks for stopping by my soup kitchen – I’m always looking for new soup recipes, too.

My second child was born right after my daughter turned 4. We had 4 years alone with her and I wasn’t sure that I wanted a second child. I love her sooooo much and couldn’t bear to think of splitting my attention. My husband and daughter wanted another baby, so I finally agreed, although I wasn’t entirely convinced. Only when I miscarried that baby did I realize how much I HAD wanted another. It was so hard, but I actually was pregnant again very soon after. Now we have 3! The third was a surprise. I am with you though. I finally have my body back after almost 3 years of being pregnant and breast feeding. It’s hard to not be the sole “owner” of your body and is so freeing when you finally feel like yourself again (albeit a flatter chested one). Do what you feel is right for you and your family. The rest will fall into place. BTW, I’m here from SITS too! Wow. It is a hard decision. My second child was born right after my daughter turned 4.

I have a 6 month old and already am worrying about whether or not to have another. We don’t have much in the way of family and I don’t want her being lonely but I also don’t want that to be my only reason to have another. She is my world and I can’t really imagine another baby in the mix. But who knows, a few years from now I may change my mind. It’s so hard! Hi Aimee, stopping by from SITS.

Also, you might change your mind in a year or so? Making that decision with an 18 month old is tough, that’s a tiring time for anyone. I say just wait for now and let things happen. Don’t make a decision either way. If you are conflicted, then it’s not the right time to decide anyhow? Have a good day! :) Stopping by from SITS..I don’t think you are debating, I think you know the answer and it’s perfectly fine. Also, you might change your mind in a year or so?

I’d love to have more kids, but the finances make it challenging. Although I wouldn’t rule it out. I suppose that the advantage I have is that I am male. I’m only 40 so I could do this for another 100 years. Although I don’t really want to be a 140 year old man with a toddler, that could be rough. It is a hard decision.

Your comment was ahead of mine at SITS – great and honest post. I am an only child and can tell you it wasn’t necessarily a bad thing growing up but as an adult, it is challenging at times. I lost my father nine years ago and my parents were divorced. It was hard to be the one to plan everything, etc. at the ripe age of 27. We were on the fence about a third but God made that plan easy for us. I got pregnant six months after my second child was born! :) Whatever you decide will be the right one for you. Good luck with your decision – love the name of your blog by the way! Hi, Aimee! Your comment was ahead of mine at SITS – great and honest post.
