Is 2 enough?

According to tv eight is enough. That certainly will not happen. The week after the babies were born Neal and I both said never again. This was not because of the labor or the babies, that was all fine, it was because of my liver scare. The thought of having to go through another organ failure scared the crap out of us. Now we are 8 weeks later and things have changed. I already feel like I miss when the babies were just born. This feeling will only get stronger every week they grow. Will I regret not having another?

Neal and I have always balanced each other out. When one wanted to do something foolish or spend money unnecessarily, the other is always there to say no. I had mentioned having another baby and Neal immediately said no. That was the deal, one would always say no. Yesterday Neal came home and asked when I wanted to have another baby. I immediately panicked. My heart rate rose. Am I sure we should have another? Perhaps this was not the best decision. No, I say. What about when I said we were blessed with two, a boy and a girl, riding partners at Cedar Point. And that my friends is the perfect balance that exists in my marriage.

I know you are all thinking, this is too early to be thinking this. Others are probably saying I am completely crazy. But I say, what is one more? I can put one on my back, one on my chest and strap one to a leg, can't I?
