Haven't read yet but just wanted to pop in and say hi. It was a busy day but both kids are conked out and DH and I are eating take-out and watching The Wall. Thrilling stuff. Hope you all had a nice day!

I'd like to start trying for our next/final baby this winter. So I'd be 34 (hopefully) when baby is born. Tim will be 41. He is the one that feels like he will be too old for any more kids. I'm open to it, but I doubt we will have more than 2. I'm hoping that my BF will start having kids eventually and I just plan on loving on her babies if I need a baby fix.

I'm not typically a gameshow person (other than WOF and Jeopardy, because #old) but this one sucks you in!

Cher Did you ever finish watching GoT? No! We trailed off around Season 2 or 3. I need to try again.

yummeecookee congrats on landing the interview! peachsmama Glad to hear the good news about your grandmother I think we're likely done with these two, so I'll be 50ish when C graduates high school. DH will be 53? Wow, that really seems like a long time from now, but at the same time I feel like it's going to go by fast. Annnd now I'm getting misty-eyed. My parents are in their early 60s and I love that they're still young enough (and in good enough health) to enjoy our kids, be active with them, etc. They had my sister and me in their early 30s and we kind of emulated them. (No pressure, B & C, but it's really an ideal set-up if you want to give us some grandkids in 30 or so years!)

For me it's less about the pregnancy (although, I did love it) or even the baby stage, but it's the importance of having a big family later on. Coming from an only child perspective I want a loud fun house, and I want my grown children to have each other.

Oh @flamimgo, that's a great point.... I'd love to be an involved grand parent one day. I see how much joy it brings my ILs and my father. Seeing your baby have a baby seems like an incredible feeling.

Ehhh so my SIL just emailed and she is suggesting we rent condos in the building at the beach that we just booked...awkward. we were hoping to have a just an "our" family vacation...so much for that. Also awkward that we booked ours 2 days ago and MH didn't tell her. FTR I texted in Feb asking about vacation plans and she said they were looking at places up north, which made me think they were doing their own thing.

I'm weaning Jack. He's hysterical, Matthew keeps telling him "shh you just have to be quiet!"
Matthew was so proud, we danced, high fived, gave hugs and gave candy. He sat 2 more times for more candy lol. They were in the bathroom getting ready for a bath and Dh set the ring on the big potty because Jack said he had to poop, but he wouldn't sit on it but Matthew climbed right up! We're leaving the ring on there so whenever he's ready he can.

Lol I'm getting there Honestly now that we've moved I'm ok with getting pregnant whenever, I just have to get my IUD out. But I'd like another fall baby and money wise it would be better next year when Tim is done with his apprenticeship and moves to the KC union. His pay will increase by almost 30K+ so.....

Pretty much. MH is pissed. He's like how did this happen?! (Thank god it's not my family at least)

Coming from an only child perspective I want a loud fun house, and I want my grown children to have each other. I have 5 siblings, so I totally get this. I wanted this too but #bestlaidplans... I'm just banking on her close relationship with all of her cousins.
