Whether you add a bow, Amber, is completely up to you. ;) For Lori in Denver: I’m pretty sure you wrap a “cleansing session” in a good old fashioned latex wrapper — that is, unless you want the cleansing sessions to lead to baby #3.

Literally the moment he was born we felt complete as a family and made the decision. I also like the idea of being able to get a hand on each of them when needed with no one running circles around me. I do have to say that I loved being pregnant. I occasionally become wistful about being pregnant and nursing with my snuggly baby boys, but have no desire to be up all night with a newborn anymore. I get my baby fixes in with friends and relatives and that is enough for me. Even though we knew we were done, it took five years for that to become final. I decided I'd had my turn, so it was someone else's - hint, hint - for that event. :) I'm the drama queen in our family, so there was very little fanfare or fussing. Love your description of the process, Amber. Too funny! As soon as my youngest was born we knew we were done. Literally the moment he was born we felt complete as a family and made the decision.

I can't believe you didn't go in with him! I was right there next to my husband holding his hand and chuckling under my breath at every squirm and squeak he made. Hey, he was right there with me and I wasn't going to miss it. WHAT? I can’t believe you didn’t go in with him!

For about 2 weeks after my niece was born, I felt wistful about having another baby (mine's 8 and a half now). Then I babysat, and OH YEAH, nevermind. I didn't intend on becoming a mother in the first place. My daughter is a huge blessing and I love her to death. But I figure by having just one, I'm balancing out the Jon & Kates of the world. So I am one and done. Well, + 1 stepson. My husband had the big V 12 years ago, and didn’t look back.

He played in a hockey game monday night. Um-no point even trying to say there is anything to tally- he agrees. I was happy to be able to put shoes on my swollen feet in twice that time- No contest. I wasn't totally sure we were done- so I was kind of sad (we had suffered with secondary infertility for 8 years- then had three kids in four years) but I ended up with a hysterectomy a year later and when they tested "to be sure" I wasn't pregnant before surgery, I was beyond relieved when they said it was negative- guess that is how you know your true feelings :) My husband had the dr visit- because really- that is all it amounted to- on Friday afternoon.
