My sister just called to tell me her dh came home the other day and told her he thinks they should have another baby. She feels DONE. They have 4 and her last pregnancy was very difficult physicallly and emotionally--nothing serious, just didn't feel good and was miserable because of it. The day before they gave away all of their baby gear.
How I would LOVE to hear my dh say that! When I asked him to consider having #7, I promised I wouldn't ask again, and already I feel that will be a difficult promise to keep. I am not sure what he'd say if I did. There are so few people that feel as I do--I tire of being such an anomaly. I wish I didn't want any more children and could be satisfied with what an amazing family I've got. But I'll always wish for another.
Did God send me this desire? I have prayed for it to end, but it hasn't!

My dh is also done. I don't think I ever will be, and though I'm thrilled for those who are pregnant, a not very nice part of me is really, really jealous.
Sign me up for your club! Hubby was done 3 kids ago, the last 3 were a result of his being too lazy to avoid them (lucky me!) He swears now it won't happen again. He sounds pretty determined this time, and I too promised not to badger him about it any more. I predict that by next year I will be having a hard time keeping that promise too.
