I get it, as my husband has his own business. I guess I hope that you guys are open to the idea that he may need to find a way to take a little time. My husband has never taken more than a week (just a weekend, the first time), but he tries to find ways to come home early or leave late or can come home to save me occasionally during the first weeks.
My first birth was a super long labor so the time he hoped to have "off with the baby" was 75% just spent with me laboring. Alas.

Rama I am here to say this baby is the result of one of the three times we dtd this year. Dd3 is the previous result of less than half a dozen episodes. I have zero sex drive in general, but given our if history we didnt expect much. I have 4 kids (we had hoped to have 3-4 so it’s fine), I’m just saying I can count the number of tries on my fingers...dh is getting snipped. Oh, I'm definitely aware I'm participating in risky behaviour. We do want to have another and if it happened to be in a year, c'est la vie. I'm just not counting on it and I'm expecting we'll have to go through more years and more thousands of dollars and more timed intercourse to have a sibling someday. But, hey, if I can do it without all that, I'll again take what I can get! That was totally our attitude  I get it. I’m just way done now that our family is complete! |

My H just started his own business last year so he really can't take any time off. If he isn't working 2-3 days after I have this baby, I'll be super surprised. I just hope at this point it's not the next day! Are you having a home birth or birth center birth? Will you be in the hospital for two days, at least? Hospital so yeah probably 2 days at least. I mean, if we knew when we'd have the baby he could probably take some time off, but he can't keep turning down business hoping the baby will come. He usually only has to go out of the house for 2-4 hours for each job so even if he has to go to work, it's not like he'll be gone all day. |

We've discussed a vasectomy but he still thinks he wants more. I'll probably end up getting an iud but I hate carrying that burden. Hormonal birth control makes me crazy.
I feel with 100% certainty that 2 is what we can handle financially and emotionally. I didn't say it because I didn't want to start a fight but if anything ever happened to him, I might still want the option to have more with a future partner. I'm only 27 and our kids will be starting college when J is getting ready to retire.
