My grandma says, “never say never.” But, quite often you probably know when you’re done.

Good luck with this new [and likely final] baby! I hope it’s a chill, happy, giggly child.

My only child is now grown and on his own, but I truly enjoyed reading about your family adventures and can’t wait to hear more about the new baby!

Loved both photos and blog. These are three-soon-to-be-four lucky children to have parents parenting in such a conscious and loving way.

What a lovely article! It makes me wish I’d savored my own pregnancies more. Congratulations on having the wisdom to do it, Jennifer.

My kids are 14 months apart. The two couldn’t be any different growing up. My daughter was the alpha girl (what a shock) and my son didn’t even dare speak for his first four years. Now, both in college, there really close and have one another for counsel and support. We take what we’re given and I’ve been so fortunate to have what I have. Two’s just fine, thank you.

I started late–my son was conceived on the eve of my 40th birthday–so the decision about having more had to be made relatively quickly, and (barring medical miracles) definitively. We’re a One and Done family, it turns out, and I’m happy with that decision 95% of the time. But then I start teaching my cooking class for new moms to a new group, like I did today, and their sweet little babies make my ovaries ache all over again. These things are never easy, are they?

I’m sixty five, have two grown children and sometimes I still pine for another child. I guess that’s what grandchildren are for!

My first has always been just quiet and adorable, I could take her everywhere and she was like having a doll that smiled on cue and performed when called upon. When other people’s kids would whine, complain and cause the parents to humilate themselves by screaming in grocery stores, I would think, what’s WRONG with these people? Then I had my son. Can’t wait to read more of your blog.
