Assume the Perpendicular

Yes, definitely.

Andrew and I both want more children. I’d like to have 3, but he wants to stop at 2. We debate about this a lot. My ideal scenario would be to have another baby just as Eleanor is entering kindergarten, and then our third baby when our second is entering kindergarten because I would like the chance to have a lot of one on one stay at home mom time with each of my kids. Andrew doesn’t like that plan because it would mean that he would be in his late fifties before our last child graduates high school, and he thinks that is too old. His suggested compromise is to have three, but have them 2-3 years apart. So we will certainly be adding to our family some time in the future, but we don’t have any exact plans in place yet.

(P.S. I really loved being pregnant, giving birth, and having a tiny baby. There’s a secret part of me deep down inside that wants to go Duggar style and have ALL THE BABIES, but, alas, reason prevails. I will keep it to a practical number.)
