Brandy,
If you are crazy for wanting another baby I am INSANE. I have nine children from 18 yrs to 14 months. My 4th child is my first daughter and a wonderful person. Who says four kids is to many:) Listen to your heart.

Brandy,
I think it is important to follow your heart on this one. If four feels "right" but it sounds like sooo many, just remember, God will never give you more than you can handle. As long as you have the love, patience and ability to handle a fourth child then I think it is great. Children are blessings in our life. I came from a family of five kids and a good friend of mine has 4 kids so 4 doesn't sound like too much at all. It sounds like you and your husband love kids and love being parents.
Good luck on your decision and Let God decide for you.

I say Go For It! You've got two older kids and they can be a huge help to you. I think if all your kids were younger and close together then it would be more of an issue. Good Luck!
After seeing how close my two children are because they are only 19 months apart, I would definitely go for the fourth child. I say this because I know that having children close together is beneficial. I was one of five children and I was the second youngest. My younger brother and I were always really close and the rest of the kids were older and we did not have much of a relationship with them. My husband and I would like to try for our third this year, but because of the age gap we decided we will have four children. We want our next two children to have the same close relationship that my other two have had. I hope that all my children will be close, but providing that playmate for the youngest would be best. I also have an in-home daycare and have found that four little ones, one being an infant, just takes a whole lot of organization and determination. It gets hard, I will be honest, but with creativity and constant activities you can do it! Best wishes and I hope you are able to make the right choice for you and your family.
If you can afford it and you guys are stable then go for it. Kids are always a blessing. I love both of my daughters and both of my kids are different. That's what makes them absolutely amazing.My parents ended up having 7of us. And we are all loved and still taken care of.
I myself am a mother of four beautiful boys ages 8, 3, 2, and 9 mo. Four is a lot of kids, but our boys are our joy and blessing. You have an advantage that you have two that are older, which makes it easier. If you and your husband feel that four is the number you need, do not let others fill you with doubt. As a mother, there is nothing that you can not get through. Good Luck!
whats one more? honestly - if your heart is in it.. i think you have already made your mind up... If you don't have one - you can always adopt one - best wishes... stace

Hi Brandy,
I'm having thoughts myself of having more children. I only have one right now who is two, and I really have always wanted a big family. Of my own that is. Sometimes I feel like I'm too old to have more children, (i'm 36 going on 37 in Sept). You really have to do what you feel is right. If you try for a boy, and get a girl is that ok with you? Would you try again? :-) Sounds like the more the marrier. Some of the other responses have got me thinking more on the positive side of having another baby. :-) You'll be just fine girl. Go with what your heart tells you. You can never go wrong there. :-) Best wishes, G.
