House of 4......will you add more?

Do you think you will ever have any more kids? If not, will you get your tubes tied? Will Rick get "snipped"?

Well, this is something we talked about over and over again while pregnant with Brooklyn. We both come from 2 children households, and we wondered if we would continue the tradition, or go for more. Our decision was 2 is what we are happy with. No matter what the sex of the baby would have been we agreed that 2 was our max. We were blessed and very lucky to get one of each so we can experience the differences raising a boy and a girl. But I don't think I would have changed my mind if I had another boy. Not at all.

So I discussed this with my doctor and  we decided to tie my tubes during my c-section. I had to sign papers a month before my scheduled surgery, so I had time to think about it. It is quite a big deal, and my doctor at least, wanted to make sure I was making the right choice for me and my family. Which I believe I did.

I already miss being pregnant. Weird I know. And knowing that I will never be pregnant again is hard. But I know it was the right thing to do. Being a surrogate has even crossed my mind. LOL But if I ever feel the need to be a mother to more than 2 children, I would love to adopt and give a child a home that was not blessed enough to be born into one. Now of course that is in the very far future. WE have a lot to get in order with our own family first.

I felt bad asking this question because i know you JUST had the baby - and I hate when people constantly ask me when we were going to have another.

I had no idea you got your tubes tied. cool!
