I have always said after 2 kids having any more doesnt make a difference. Diaper Daze are a pain but they to shall pass.
I have 5 children, you will be fine. Please do not buy out the disney dvd department, just becasue your time is going to be spread thin for a while, does not mean you should destroy your childrens developing brains by turning them over to the "American Babysitter" the television.
You have the money, obviously you work because you enjoy your job. So hurry up and start interviewing for nanny's. someone who is going to be helpful around the home and be able to give the kids added attention. It will relieve the stress for everyone :D
Congrats on your newest addition! One day your kids will thank you for giving them such a large family to have.

They only thing you can do is sit down with your kids and explain to them that there is another brother or sister on the way. The oldest of your 3 can learn to help out around the house and help look out for eachother. I am the oldest of 5 myself (22, 19,17, 15, and 10) and growing up we learned the value of family bonding. You seem like a successful woman so I woudn't worry so much. After this child think about getting a tubiligation or your husband a vesectomy. Think of it as a blessing. A big family is awesome!
Oh and Trillian is right about a nanny!

Whoa Mama!
First, let me offer you â¼â¼â¼â¼â¼ Those are the best stars I could find.
Get lots of Dora, Sponge Bob, Nemo, and other fun movies for kiddies on CD's. Put a TV in every room and play!
Ask the older ones to help you with the younger ones. They will one day tell you how grateful they are you did ask!
Have fun but be safe!
I have seen the light of 1000 stars, but none so bright as the
light within!

I guess birth control is now out of the question...I would suggest getting your tubes tided so this doesnt happen again lol!!! You are a mom and I think that since you have a 12 year old she or he can lighten up the load for you a little bit. You can do this.

You sound like a natural mother ,have the baby then get your husband to have a vasectomy. After 4 kids one more wouldnt hurt. You sound like you have a lot of love to give as well as a stable home. Its people like you that should be reproducing more. Good luck.

Have the baby. I come from a family with 5 kids... the fifth wasn't planned... just get your tubes tied or get on birth control afterwards... if you dont have the baby think of everything you could be missing.

Birth control and condoms should help. 5 kids? In 2006 that's considered alot of kids

I think it would help you a lot - alleviate the stress levels at least - if you could get a live in nanny and a housekeeper. Then you'll have more time to relax and recuperate and have quality time with your kids.
