Is this a phase?

If this is in your heart you should follow it. Let me fist tell you of my children 1st was born wonderful then a 9 year gap. I couldn't have any more. Then a little miracle.After 12 weeks in hospital & a prem baby she now health & beautiful. I then had that urge for another. My husband was horrified, my Dr's said no, I wouldn't make it & the baby wouldn't either. But that feeling just wouldn't go away. I kept nagging & nagging. So I had my 3 little girl & she was the most perfect angel you could imagine & I was ok. I then went on to have another surprise my boy & were both ok. I feel complete with my 4 beautiful children. sometimes it's noisy, sometimes it would be nice to go to the toilet without being disturbed but they are the little things. I love all the extra cuddles i get. I am never without one for long. Or a smile on my face, for as much as kids can be madding at times they will then do something to brighten your day. As to the age I have 15 years between my 1st & last child & they all get along fine. I actually like the time I had off between them, like i had a break off nappies. the 1st & 2nd child that are nine years apart are the best of friends, have been from the start & they are 17 & 26 now so I have watched them for a long time. Children are a blessing & if you can have them & your husband is willing go ahead you haven't lost your mind & you won't regret it. Good Luck

If you want to really know if it's a phase or not...ask to babysit for a friend for a day. You have forgotten how much energy it is to raise a baby...and also your other kids are at a great age to go and do stuff with. I'm not saying you should or not...I have no idea. Just also think of what they will have to give up too for the baby. If the pros outway the cons...go for it. You know that you'll love another child, but remember ask yourself if it is going to bring your level of parenting down for the other children.

NO, YOU ARE KINDA HAVING NORMAL BABY BLUES FEELINGS. BUT YOUR KIDS ARE KINDA CLOSE IN AGE. WHY DONT YOU WAIT A FEW YEARS AND SEE IF YOU STILL HAVE THAT SAME FEELING, BECAUSE KIDS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE TO CARE FOR, AND IF NOT, AND THE 2 OF YOU ARE FINANCIALLY ABLE TO AFFORD PRENATAL CARE, HOSPITAL CARE WHEN THE BABY OR BABIES ARE BORN AND AFFORD MILK, DIAPERS, AND HAVE THE ADIQUITE TIME TO SPEND WITH THE 4 THAT YOU WOULD END UP HAVING THEN I SAY GO RIGHT ON AHEAD. BECAUSE LITTLE DO PEOPLE KNOW THEY ARE GONNA SOON CUT OFF THE WELFARE PROGRAM, THEN YOU WOULD REALLY BE STUCK, TRYING TO FEED AND CLOTHE THEM, LET ALONE KEEP A ROOF OVER THEIR HEADS IF YOU RECEIVE ANY KIND OF GOVERMENT ASSISTANCE

I think you should follow your heart on this one. Its too easy to let 'practical' thoughts get in the way with these sort of decisions. You can always make it work. Once you have the baby, you will never regret it will you?

IM SURE THE FEELING WILL GO AWAY WHEN YOU EITHER GET PREGNANT OR MAYBE OVER TIME BUT WHEN MY BABY TURNED ONE I GOT BABY FEVER BAD AND TRYED BUT HAD NO LUCK IN BECOMING PREGNANT ALSO DIDNT HELP MY HUSBAND WASNT HOME (MILITARY) WELL NOW MY BABY IS TWO YEARS 5 MONTHS OLD AND I AM 4 MONTHS PREGNANT BUT YES I HAD THAT FEELING UNTIL I GOT PREGNANT SORRY I COULDNT BE MUCH HELP!
