Never again

[sweetpea]

Never again will I be in the first trimester. I've finally made it to the second tri or our last pg. I'm both very excited and a little sad. On one hand, 5 kids under the age of 4 is MORE that enough. On the other hand, I'm only 28 so it's weird to think these will be our last babies. But most of all, I will be glad to be done w/ HG forever!

Congratulations!!!! I know it must be a very bitter-sweet feeling, but I also know what a RELIEF it is to get out of that hellish first 12 weeks. Hugs!!

Congrats Sweetpea. Bitter-sweet indeed.

Yay! I am looking forward to joining you in the second tri boards soon. I am having the same thoughts about this being our last. It is tough, after the first time we had ourselves convinced that one was going to be enough for us. But it wasn't. I am hoping our hearts will be full after this one, and can move on without looking back.

I literally said the same thing when I moved to second tri (only this is #2 for me, and I'm older than 28 ). This is our last too, as I am NEVER doing another HG pregnancy again. Age wise, I could probably fit in one more, but we'd be pushing it a bit. I actually went though a little phase of questioning this decision around 20 weeks, but then came to my senses again shortly after. It's a sad reality to know that this is my last, but I am at peace with that decision now.

Yay for sliding on out of first tri! I don't feel at all sad about this being my last pregnancy lol, it's been too horrid but once it's over I'm sure I'll be wistful. That's why I've already booked my ligation, so I can't back out of it!

I swore that after Anabelle I was done. I had even talked to the doctor about getting a tubal done. And then a switch just flipped. I'm 28 too and it just seemed too permanent. Right now we are NTNP and I am so relieved that we didn't do anything permanent.

We'll have 5 kids under the age of 4, so we'll be done! If I end up w/ a c-section, then I'll get a tubal. If I deliver vaginally, Josh will get a vasectomy before the year ends.
Down the road we might adopt, especially if we don't get to keep Ladybug! But with 5 kids, we'd have to get a bigger vehicle just to transport them all if we did have more. And if we did get pg again, I'm not sure how my 5 kids would be taken care of. I don't do well on birth control and condoms obviously don't work for us. If he gets a vasectomy, we could probably reverse if down the road but I highly doubt that will happen. And I've always wanted to have adopted children - since I was at least 12, so I'd much rather adopt than have any more bio kids. I am really excited about getting 2 babies out of this torture, but I'm not really sure how I'll practically take care of them all. I know that I can; I'm just not sure how to do it.
