Hello ladies,
I'm Danielle, married and Mum to 3 - Callum, 3, Katelyn, nearly 2, Lily, nearly 1.
I've always wanted a big family, 4 or 5 kids, but DH only ever wanted 2. He compromised with #3 but I feel I just can't stop at 3, I really think 4 is "my number". After a lot of negotiation, we have decided that we will have 1 more baby. At first he wanted to wait atleast 3 years, but to me after having our first 3 so close (18 months between #1 and #2 and then 12 months between #2 and #3) having a bigger gap between #3 and #4 doesn't feel right. He was very adamant on the 3 year "rule" for weeks but then today has agreed to my idea of TTC at the end of this year/beginning of next year. I'm so happy that he's come round!
I feel a bit weird posting on here, more because I've already got 3 kiddies and don't want to sound greedy when I know there are some who don't have any yet (I remember how it feels as it took us 10 months to conceive #1 and it's so hard to deal with). Do I still fit into this group?
I hope I can get to know everybody better over the coming months
