stopping vs. more

ok- so its hard to say its over, we are done and come to grips with it. But I keep thinking to myself that I am done. but there is this little part of me that wants more. I keep thinking of all the fun things we can start doing and planning, some things that I can get and do and I am cool with it. Then I think but what if we have 1 or 2 more... then I start thinking about what if things going really bad for me and my baby, do I really want to go thru that again. Because I don't. 
For those of you that d
on't know. I had Placenta Previa with Caden. God-thankfully I had a great outcome. He was born via c-section 4 weeks early and weighed in at 6ibs & 9oz and was 191/2 inches long. HEALTHY BOY!!!!!!! Lungs, eyes, hearing, everything checked out as if he was on time. (THANK YOU LORD FOR MY HEALTHY BOY!) When I think about it, there are so many emotions that go with being pregnant. My Mom, & sister both had great pregnancies and deliveries, why am I the exception. Bed rest with both Ellie and Caden, odd things with both end of pregnancies. When I think about having another one, I get excited, and think, "OH! another baby. How fun and exciting." and it is. I wouldn't take anything back. But then, the what if's. and I don't think I would be able to handle another what if pregnancy. People tell me t
o wait a couple more years and then try (1st off there is no try, its do for E & I). But then I say *STARTING OVER* ummm, no thank you. Am I crazy or something... hahaha 
so... yes, I told E that I think I am done last night. First time I have admitted it out loud, and now I am saying it on here. 
I believe I am done. 
Is it hard for everyone to say that? If I say it, then I have to mean it, and if I mean it, then I have to do it and if I do it, then there is NOO going back. and thats the hard part about it. 
Growing up I always wanted a BIG family- 11 kids. Well, 11 kids was out of the question, so I said 7, but then thought, 4 would be great- nice even number. Now 2- really?!!?! so yes, I think 2 is great. I like my small family and E likes kn
owing we are done. So IF I still feel this way by the beginning of 2010 it is off to the clinic for me :) 

ok- so here are a couple pic. of my lovely kids :)
Happy ending right!!!
