Yes, I could go on birth control and we could wait a few years and see where we are but honestly I don't see either of us changing our minds. I have migraines which makes it very difficult to find a birth control that does not make my migraines worse. Not to mention both my kids were conceived while I was taking the pill.
Do I think we are to young to make such a final decision? Heck no. I always said if I was going to have another kid it had to be before I was thirty. Zeland came right before my 28th birthday..perfect. Obviously there is nothing wrong with having kids after thirty just for me I had hoped to be done having babies by thirty.
Am I going to regret making such a final decision? Yeah, I am sure there will be days that I will be sad I wont ever be pregnant again and will never hold my newborn baby for the first time and all those amazing experiences that go along with pregnancy and babies. Already this week I have been extra sensitive around Zeland and can't stand a moment apart from him thinking he will be my last baby. There are so many things we have to be thankful for and so many more things left to experience as a family of 4. :)
Please keep Andrew in your prayers. Please pray that he feels very little pain and has a quick recovery. I will keep you posted!
Once again..a blog is not a blog without pictures so here is my super cute baby doing some naked swimming.

You can still have more babies... just not with Andrew!
Also, did you take Zeland out in the pool diaper-less again AFTER he pooped in the pool? I love it.
Honestly, nobody can make decisions for you other than you. If it's the right thing for your family and you both agree, then you just have to do it.
Which is exactly what I told Andrew...If I am dying to have a baby I will just dump him and find a new baby daddy! (totally joking)
These pics are actually pre poop in the pool. This is the last time he will be in the pool without a diaper on!!
Thanks, I totally agree. It feels right and I think we are making the best decision for us. I think grandma Nancy is sad but I assured her that you and Chuck will be having one more...right?
Whoa, that's a lot of pressure! But yeah, we'll probably have another - and I told Chuck that I'd like him to be the father again, since I really liked the way his genes turned out this time around.
LOL!! Yeah, I am pretty sure it would be a crime not to make another baby as cute and smart as Aurora is!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the subject. Sounds like a wise decision for both of you. Good to discuss together first.
I have a friend who's new husband got a vasectomy right after he married her, without telling her first. She was not happy as she expected to have children. They divorced soon thereafter.
John & I never wanted kids. Neither of us are the domestic, parent types. The idea of not wanting kids helped to bring us together very quickly. John had been dating a woman who had seven brothers & sisters. She loved to be around her nieces & nephews, so it started to become clear that she really wanted kids. So, they broke up.
When John & I met, we discussed why he had broken up with his last girlfriend, so we were both thrilled that neither of us wanted kids.
We think it is important for couples to discuss the issue, preferably before marriage, as kids really change a couple's life style.
Glad to see people that really want kids to be successful. Following the Wadey baby blogs has been interesting to see what parenthood is like.
We wish Andrew a speedy recovery!
Julia better not have any more babies. We will certainly know who the father isn't.
Yes, I am still fighting some sadness, but since I thought that I might never have any grandchildren, two+ really seem like a blessing. I think one more would be nice, Amber and Chuck. I think it would be nice for Aurora to have a sibling. But only if you want one more.
