i currently have 2 little girls aged 7 months and 19 months well i have this hankering persistant feeling that i would like to try for another maybe a boy do you all think i am crazy for this.
my reasons being i have a good career under way already i would like one last chance to have a boy (wouldent matter if it wasent) after i have my children i want to concentrate on my career you no not having to take maternity leave or leave in general again just stay in work get the kids all off to school ect ect.
how many women out there are in this same situation how many of you have 3 kids very close in age and stayed sane lol i no its all worth it in the end but i dont wanna ever regret not having another child in 10 years time if i decided not to its now well soon or never.

I had three sons in three years and three months.
And yes it is difficult with small children that close in age.
It sounds to me as if you already have decided to have the third one. Go ahead and have it and enjoy the blessing!
Be aware when you have the third one it creates an
odd number--making the dreadful saying (so true!):
"Two to fight and one to tattle"! :)

Only you and your hubby can decide this....But I understand. I had my first son, a year later my 2nd son, 2 years later my 3rd son, and yes...2 years later my 4th A GIRL! LOL! But I would have been happy either way. My husband and I obviously love kids. We kinda figured let's just get it over with. They have playmates, and yes, every other day, they have enemies, all in the same house. But that's how kids are. It is a struggle,and as someone else said, people can be very insensitive. "4 kids?Don't you know what causes that?" "OMG, don't you have any hobbies?" "You know the make pills for that" But now I just tell them, it Was a favorite hobby of mine, but we finally got a satellite dish! LOL! But all children are blessings. And although some days I don't know my name, it's so much fun. And when it gets too bad, I get to go to work, hehehe. But seriously take some time, talk it out, if you want another, go for it!!

First of course ...take your husbands wishes into consideration. Then imagine trying to push a stroller with 3 kids, carrying a HUGE diaper bag and lining up 2 kids with diapers and one in a pull-up. Taking into consideration your energy level. After 2 babies so close together, you might be more tired than you have anticipated right now. All that added to the equation, if you still want one, go for it! Having children really close together is more than a challenge, it's a frantic juggling act. If you react well under pressure and can stay patient with 2 toddlers and an infant, I don't see any reason why not. Children are a blessing from God. I would seriously take into consideration how your body is bouncing back from this last baby. Please take care of yourself and good luck.

If you want another baby go for it. I have 2 girls and 1 boy. I know what its like to have that persistent feeling of really wanting another baby. The thing is you are not fertile forever but your career can wait. My children are not that close in age 5,7 and 11 months which i think makes it easier.

I have 3 kids, and they are 20 months apart (9/26/03, 5/6/05, 12/8/06).
I like having them all together, but people do think I'm crazy- so be prepared for people to be rude if you do decide to have another. Rude during your pregnancy and after.
I'm not sure if your career should be the reason for you to have another though. Do it because you want another child, not because you will regret not trying for a boy.

I would go for it. Your brain cells can come back all at once! LOL. I have 4 and it does make you crazy but I couldn't imagine not having them. By the way, I know this will sound bizarre, but have you tried the chinese lunar calendar to predict when you should conceive? It worked for all of mine! Girl/Boy/Boy/Girl.

i see no problem with this. i'm one of four and the first three of us are very close in age. the last came a while later. but its good for a child to have someome in the house around there age they always have some one to relate to.

usually i would say if you have to ask that question then no, but if you've already got a good job lined up and you want to get all the young young stuff out of the way then yes go for it maybe you'll get that boy after all. goodluck.
