I really really wanted a son. 1st was a girl, then another girl and I said when i have my son I was done. Now that I have him I want another. I know some days are hard, but my children bring me such joy. I want to have another one, but hubby is not ready. Their are about 2 days out of the month where either the girls 6 &4 are fighting bad or my bubs is so cranky I say what did I do..ahhhhhhhhh!!! I go to bed get some sleep and refresh and wake up and I am sure glad I had them. Its very normal to feel this way dont worry. I think its better if your child has a sibling. Although they fight.... they can be very loving and get each other busy. =)

Yes! The entire first year of my second son`s life! We only ever wanted two, but they were so much work, cost so much. We know we are done- and made it permanent. I had a momentary lapse when I thought I really wanted a girl, but I got over it.

Let me think. First there was the last trimester where I had full blown athlete`s foot and epic blistering where I woke up and thought seriously about cutting off my legs with a knife if it would make the itching go away. Then to induce labour (as I knew it would make the swelling thus itching go away) I started induction massage with my chiropracter which led to a breech baby and c/s. 4 months of recovery. A belly that is still numb. 8 weeks of no sleep. A boy that won`t stop moving. Never stops moving... or yelling. My toddler who likes to throw his food on the floor- on purpose- because he likes the reaction I give him (and I just can`t stop not being mad for some reason). He tHugs little girls. He`s addicted to cars and throws them. At me, the floor especially is so dented now. He likes making me chase him- which is fairly annoying when I`ve got 2 bags of groceries from Costco. I start thinking, why would I want another one?? But then there are the cuddles. And the kisses. And I love how he cups my face and gives me full smooches before bed time. I love his toes and his soft hair and how it smells. I know that even when he`s being naughty and throwing my $300 remote across the floor that this stage, is not long. And before I know it, he`ll be 16 like my nephew and learning how to drive. And he`ll be testing my patience in new ways. Last year he was a baby. Just so small and wee. Now he`s a little boy.... and it makes me yearn for another wee baby. Even though I know how difficult it will be. Maybe i`m crazy, but I think that`s what mom`s are.

I had one of those days today! I love my children to life. We went out for a little while today, and my youngest was crying at the top of her lungs...she does this EVERYTIME we go out! It makes everyone cranky and it is not fun at all..it is times like that when I say, I don`t want anymore. Well I am pg with another one, so...I never experienced this with the older two, so I am praying this is just a one time deal! It passes though, I can`t imagine my life without them...and even with all of the discomfort of this one, if it wasn`t for c-sections, I wouldn`t mind 1 or 2 more...crazy right?!?!

when I started being able to sleep a full 8 hours consecutively is when I decided.. hey that wasn`t so bad.. I can do it again. So now we`re on round 2. haha. I had my days of `I will not be having any more kids soon` lol.. now look at me, I have a 12 month old and I`m 6 weeks pregnant with #2.

I have never really felt that way. I love babies and despite the exhaustion and all the troubles they can be/cause. I still want more. Of course now, being single and raising 2 boys, i think i am done. If i was in a committed relationship, i would def want more now. :-)

When I turned 40 and had my 3rd :) When I realized some of you on this site are young enough to be my own child :) Sounds corny but its true ~ My next kids will be grandkids ~

femi (845.2 days ago)
so what made you decide to have more than one?

kickboxerbaby (845.2 days ago)
Every time I went into Labor. LOL, The first time my daughter said. I HATE YOU, or when I started feeling like I was sleeping next to a stranger. (Between kids nightmares, his over time and my eshaustion it could have been anyone in that bed with me)

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
