sometimes i hate that everyone has an opinion about what you do in life and HOW you do it. i think it agravates me most when people don't know the whole situation. i mean, they aren't required to know...it's YOUR business, right? your life, your business. sometimes people need to let it go.
it's nobody that reads my blog, but i get tired of people just assuming that Haylee is going to be an only child. darn it people, i'm only 29. granted i'll be 30 in six months. but i've made a promise to myself (and to Tim) that if it doesn't happen by the time i am 35, then Haylee will be an only child. i don't feel like i need to run that by everyone though. it's just how i feel. i know i'm blogging this now...but i just get frustrated. why does there have to be a specific TIME between each child? no, we aren't trying to have another child right now - but we are waiting for the right time for us, as parents. we have plans and if we bring another life into this world we want to make sure we are capable of giving it {he/she} everything it needs.
if you know Haylee's personality then you know at any age she will make one AWESOME big sister. and i honestly don't think she will be jealous {well maybe a little at first} but i have all inentions on getting her involved in every aspect of this potential child's life. it's not like we're going to neglect her whenever a new baby arrives. it's not like she will be lacking love or attention. she is a very caring, sharing and giving child in all aspects. God knew what He was doing when He blessed us with Haylee. :)
anyway i probably didn't need to explain myself or my personal journey - BUT yes, there IS another twinkle in our eyes to have another. but as for the timing of it all...only time will tell.

So are you guys trying? HA HA just kidding. You do WHATEVER you want. People gave us such crap for having a "big" space (4 1/2 years) between ours. But then, I live in fertile myrtle land. And it has started again because our youngest is almost 3. It's nobody's business but ours. And your business is no one's but yours! And it seems to me that loving families are loving families, no matter how many children there are and how they are spaced.
I can totally relate to how you are feeling.... For almost 9 years now I have been hearing "Why haven't you had another one??? It's too late now.... Noah will not have a good relationship with a sibling now..." People can be brutal.... But why bring another kid into this world when the parents aren't ready for another... I know there is never a right time, but unless someone else is willing to pay for this next kid, no one should talk smack.....
It always amazes me how other people feel it is there business. As you know our children are 6 and a half years apart and it works great for us. My sister and I are 7 years apart and I know a lot of other people who are even more. You do what is right for you and what God has planned for you. Don't let the "creeps" get you down.
LOL I get the same question and I have 4....so I somewhat know how you feel, but I do agree it isn't anyone's business but your own. You will have to pay and take care of that child so it should be when you are ready! By the way if anyone is wondering...I am SO DONE and that will be permanent hopefully soon! :) Love you guys!
