Why do people assume because you have three children you will want more…….a whole brood?
I love my little girls but three is hard work, I'm not afraid to admit it.
Why would I want more?
Ok so the idea of maybe having a little boy would be quite nice.
The idea of another teeny, tiny, cuddly, snuggly newborn would be quite nice.
But they wouldn't stay tiny and the reality of more children…….
Erm no, it's not for us.
More children would mean splitting ourselves and our time even more.
More children would mean the house would be even noisier and messier.
Broken sleep would drag on for longer.
Mummy would feel/ go crazier.
More children would mean we would have less money for treats, holidays, ballet lessons etc.
More children would mean a bigger house and a “mini bus”.
It could even be the difference between being able to afford to help with driving lessons, university fees or even weddings.
No…..more children are not on the agenda in this house.
Anyway we feel complete.
We are a family of five.
Mummy, Daddy and our little flowers – Poppy, Rosie and Daisy.
That is how it meant to be I'm sure.
Our little family.

I am a boy mum but hankering for a girl. Think about “her” everyday.
Lovely post and your family looks complete.
If a boy ever makes an appearance (on a soul level) you will sense it.
If not, carry on regardless 🙂
Gorgeous family x

April 12, 2013 at 8:02 am (12 years ago)I do love how people (usually strangers) comment on family sizes! I have both a boy and a girl which means I get lots of “one of each, you won’t want any more / you can stop now!” We’ve decided to stop at two but that decision is mostly based on not wanting to run the risk if going through another high risk pregnancy! If it was my choice and not a health issue, I’d have loved more!

April 12, 2013 at 6:51 pm (12 years ago)I know what you mean about strangers but family do comment too. Shame the choice was taken out of your hands but honestly 3 is hard. 1 of each sounds perfect x

April 12, 2013 at 3:12 pm (12 years ago)What a great post, I find it so funny how people think it’s any of their business. Because we have one of each lots of people openly assume that we couldn’t possibly want anymore. But we’re undecided. And it does make me wonder what reaction we’d get if we did decide to have another.
And I love this photo. So gorgeous. You should like it up with our Me & Mine linky (either in the March one which is open, or in the April one when it opens at the end of the month) we’d love to have you in with the other family portraits. X

April 12, 2013 at 6:48 pm (12 years ago)Ahhh thank you. Thanks for reminding me about the Me & Mine linky, would love to join in. Going to do it in just a mo. undecided? That sounds like possibly room for one more hee hee, people assume you might want 16 if you have more than 2 x
