I was at this thing recently on women in academia and there was a slide reading "academic women report having fewer children than they would like" and I totally started crying. Discretely, of course. I hope the pain faded quickly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9219236556397495909.post-20998328006543314482013-03-13T15:11:10.407-04:002013-03-13T15:11:10.407-04:00I know that pain and the sting of those tears.

When we...I also used to have lofty dreams of three. When we got our recent diagnosis and realized how hard just having one more would be I considered it a blessing as I had more reason (than just MV's refusal) not to pursue a third. If we do end up bringing home another live baby I'm sure there will be moments when I pine after a third. And I'm sure it will hurt. I hope this pain passes quickly and that your family comes to an agreement about what is best for you all, be that sticking with two or having a third. Good luck.

Just think about what that could mean for you and G.<br /><br />That and maybe move the 'burbs where everything is cheaper. But seriously, if you want one and can afford it, why the heck not! Maybe wait until L is 2 before attempting again? I hear that a 3 year age gap is waaaaaaayyyyyy easier to deal with than a two year gap.
