When do/did you know you were done having babies?

It seems like every few weeks I get that baby urge. You know the big desire to have another baby. I am getting closer to 29 but I still have several good years left to have a baby. I just think about the sweet baby smiles, the many first in that first year of life. I think about pregnancy and I have been blessed with two pretty good ones.

My husband thinks we are done since we have our boy and girl. He came from a family of 2, but I came from a family of 3 so its hard! I know kids are expensive and I know we would love to have an empty nest when we are young still. :) We hope that our kids will get married and have children when we are younger too! :)

I also do not want another c-section! I had a normal vaginal birth with my daughter but with my son it was c-section. IT WAS THE WORST EVER!! Even with those memories I still think about the love from everyone during that time, food brought over, friends taking my older daughter, and cute baby gifts from everyone! God sure took care of me and my family when it took me weeks to recover from that surgery!

So women, when do you truly know when to be done having kids? I just wish God would speak directly to me and tell me. :)

I thought we were done, but now I'm not so sure. You have to pray about it and see what God says. You'll know... A good friend of mine told me that "God will never give you anything you can't handle." He knows you better than anyone, right? I you feel you are done, then you're done. But just be open to changes. :) I never dreamed I would want more than my 2 I have now... I come from a family of 6 so I know what my mother has gone through. Just pray about it you never know

I have had two really bad pregnancy/post partum experiences so after I saw that I had a boy and a girl I decided right there that I was done.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words. These are broken down into six sets of five words. The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.
