No way

I saw my own mum and others who got "stuck" b/c they had children and I started off

not wanting any at all but doing the whole career-thing instead...Then in my mid 20:ies I suddenly felt the need to settle down

(I had an intensive single-girl life between 17 and 23 and graduated from law school at 25) - and in that package came children LOL!

Actually I was the one who wanted our first child, DH was not on board back then, but eventually

when I was preg he started to look forward to it too...

For several years I thought that having one child was our destiny but then something happened

in my life that made me want to "nest" again - so another son came to us that way.

I had never given gender a single thought before I had DS no 1 , but after my second son I got

GD, and I longed for a daughter. Now I am wondering if I should call it a day or if we should have a third

child just to have a girl - that would be our absolutely last one...and it may be another son...

So in the end I think I will have more children than I had planned for! Funny how things turn out?

I never thought we'd have 4 or more kids.  We planned each one but thought we'd always get our girl.  I think I would have stopped had I gotten my girl but I can't imagine life without any of my boys.  I think we'll give it one more try and hopefully this will be our girl if not we're still done!
