"No! I want Wadey-Poo!"

That is what Owen says when we ask him if wants Mommy to have another baby. :o) Chris and I are TOYING with the idea of Smithlette #3 (not like, next month or anything!!!!) and when we ask Owen if he wants another sibling, he says NO. We think it is because he thinks that we won't keep Wade if we have another baby. Who knows what goes on in his crazy toddler-mind! We go back and forth about adding another baby. We know that with a 3rd, we would have to have me stay at home a while longer, which means we wouldn't be moving into our "dream" home for that much longer. Owen and Wade would have to share a room for a while (not that that is a huge deal or anything...),3 college educations to pay for, 3 cars to buy,3 houses to help buy, 3 kids in sports/activities, and oh yeah, we would be outnumbered. Right now, we play man-to-man defense with the kids. But if we have another, then, well, they would outnumber us and they would have Owen as their leader. And Owen is very smart. And sneaky. Methinks we would be in trouble! I would have to give up my beautiful SUV, in exchange for a mini-van (shudder) because since kids have to be in carseats pretty much until they get their drivers licenses these days, we would need the space. Although my Pilot seats 8 people, the middle row will not hold 3 carseats unfortunately! I think that I am certain that I want another baby. Chris is less certain. To him, if you have 3 kids, you might as well have 19 and move next door to Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar. (shout-out to the Duggars! Love your show!)

But, on the other hand, I can't imagine not being pregnant again, not hearing your baby cry/coo/laugh/etc for the first time, not seeing those gummy smiles anymore. Every milestone that Wade hits, makes me mourn a little, because it very well may be the last time we have a baby this little in our house! I can totally see why my grandma had 13 kids! It is addicting!

Anyways, what a random post. I had read a similar post from my friend, and it got me thinking!!!
