Let me preface this post by first saying:
#1 No we are not pregnant.
# 2 No we are not planning on getting pregnant again anytime soon.
and #3 No we are not pregnant.
Fact is we've always talked about having 2 kids. Even though both my wife and I come from families of three kids, the thought of having 2 always seemed like the right fit for us. To be honest I prefer man to man defense over zone any day. Not to mention the cost savings associated with stoping procreation at 2, sheeeeesh. Still after having our 2nd I can now see why couples with 2 end up with a third and then couples with 3 sometimes shoot for the 4th (not sure about couples with 5 or more).
We were blessed with the arrival of the Mini-Kamp. Our first years cutting our teeth were awesome and scary all wrapped into one. Time seemed to fly by with the firsts (first roll-over, first sit up, first sleeping through the nigh,t first teeth, first steps, first words). Throughout those first there were also the worries - were we doing this right, was she getting enough sleep, enough to eat, what was that cough, is she sleeping on her back, is she breathing, is she tied in tight enough, is she gonna fall. The list goes on and on (most of it is the reason my hair is turing grey)
With the Haver-Boy, time has still flown by and those worries have still been there to a degree, but at least for us we have had more time to actually stop and cherish all those moments.....
The smiles.....
The cute edible body parts.....
The first bites of food.....
The rolling over.....
The sleepy moments.....
The playing in the bath moments.....
The time with big sis.....
And a few weeks ago, all those moments came together during bath time when my wife and I both looked at each other thinking the same exact thing - I see how couples try for a 3rd. You begin to appreciate and fully take in the miracle and the joy of seeing this life come to being. To seeing your kids relate, connect and learn with one another. It's amazing and it makes you want to only add to it.
But right now we are content. We are blessed with 2 healthy kids. Our family is complete. Still who knows what the future holds. I guess we will just have to wait and see.
