Watching baby shows this morning

Tobes is at school so I've been eating chocolate and watching birth shows on the Discovery Channel. Very reassuring to see a lady with three children under two plus triplets on the way and she still seems relatively sane. I'm worried about coping with two. Can you imagine six?! And three of them being newborns. Total respect to that lady. I wouldn't even contemplate it.

Though... at Cafe Rouge on Sunday I felt the sudden need to broach the 'third baby' subject with J. His response - Absolutely. I immediately felt the need to jump back over to the 'just two babies' side of the argument but it was interesting to know that we both MIGHT be open to the idea some time in the distant future. We both agreed that if we had a third child we would want to wait almost as long as biologically possible and have the baby in my 40s. Having them all together would cause that middle child situation whereas we both felt that a big gap would be better. My thought is that, knowing me, as I edge towards menopause I'll want to have just one more baby while I still can.

Who knows, a lot can change between now and then but we are going to put the vasectomy on hold for the time being.
