I am a woman, set to a clock. I like things on time and I don’t like to be late. (You can be late, that’s ok, but I will turn up 1 hour early if I think *I* will be late). Jasper was born 22 hours ‘late’, Jovie was born 5 hours ‘late’ – good kids, those. Suffice to say that when my ‘lady days’ were late last week, for what was the first time in 19 years, it had me wondering. <\/p>\n

Skipping the details, no I’m not pregnant<\/strong> but it definately had me thinking…. <\/p>\n

Regan and I had always said 2 kids was enough, and yes in alot of ways it is. Our house has enough room for 2 kids, the backseat of our car has room for 2 booster seats. We have one child for each of us, so we’re never too overwhelmed. It’s the ‘comfortable’ and ‘safe’ number for alot of families and I can see why. <\/p>\n

I’d never thought of having another child after having Jovie, but even with all the ‘extra’ we’re doing lately with therapy etc, it doesn’t scare me to at least discuss it a little bit more now. Having that third child will tip the balance, but the more I think about it, the more I could see us with another child in our life. <\/p>\n

SCARY but oddly okay. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
